Hey everyone,

Some big news today: Trial of the Alchemist has officially launched on Audible and Amazon KU. To celebrate this, and to boost sales, I’m putting the book on sale for just 99 cents. If you have an Audible subscription or have yet to start one, you should be able to pick up a copy for free (same goes with KU, of course). Otherwise, I’ve set the price as low as I can for now for anyone who hasn’t finished reading yet—as well as for anyone who enjoyed the book and wants to support me with a cheap sales boost at a crucial time (reviews and ratings also really help).

Honestly, I would have kept all of Trial up here indefinitely were it a viable option, as my main goal is to reach as many readers as possible, but alas: we live in an Amazon world and must play by Amazon’s rules.

Coming this June: Sailor’s Rise

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

The reason to keep following this stub: I’ll be using it to let readers know when my next web novel launches on Royal Road. Launch window is June. Here's the synopsis:

Elias Vice, a supposed nobody from the backwater town of Acreton, has already written his destiny, and it ends with him building the greatest business empire Sailor’s Rise has ever known. But to get there, Elias will need to turn a pocketful of relics into a company worth millions. The Rise’s caste-like business and political system stratifies power and access in the dock-ringed merchant republic, and Elias is starting with neither. And yet he isn’t the nobody he first believes, as Elias’s connection to an enigmatic people—airship travelers with a unique mastery over space itself—will both help and haunt his ambitious endeavor. Elias, it turns out, is a collector.

Unlike Trial of the Alchemist, Sailor’s Rise is actually being written as a web novel—and will grow to be a lot longer. I will send followers of this story an update as soon as it goes live, so please keep following!

See you in a couple of months,

Trevor (a.k.a. Dremen)
