Hey everyone! Thanks for your support on this journey, whether you're a new reader that jumped on with Engineer's Odyssey or a longtime loyal fan who came over from Apocalypse Parenting.
No matter what group you're in, I'm sure you're wondering what's next.
Engineer's Odyssey will remain on Royal Road for the foreseeable future. I do intend to publish it as an eBook, but as a semi-standalone novel, it seems like a good opportunity to explore other publishing opportunities beyond Kindle Unlimited and the exclusivity it requires. It's going to take me some extra time to get the editing done, both because I think this text needs a little extra love and because I don't intend to take a writing break the way I usually do when I complete a story. (I also need to actually get a decent cover for it... oops!) After editing, I'm thinking it'll still remain on Royal Road and likely published through a variety of different platforms that don't require exclusivity... for example, a for-purchase eBook from Amazon, maybe inclusion in Kobo Plus to test that out... we'll see.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
If you want to know what comes next for Vince and the rest of his crew, you'll have to start reading Apocalypse Parenting! Engineer's Odyssey can be considered an optional Book 3.5 in that series. The first two books of Apocalypse Parenting are already out on Amazon and Audible, and book 3 will be released through both platforms on May 28... which, coincidentally, is the same day that Apocalypse Parenting 4 will begin being published here on Royal Road!
