Hey Everyone!
Since we are in the home stretch of 2018, I thought i'd take a little time since my kid woke me up at 4:30 am to share my plans for the end of the year and maybe a glimpse into 2019.
Posting
Right now, with the chaotic holiday season barring down on me, the posting schedule is going to have to shift a tad. Two Worlds will be dialed back to one chapter a week, on Mondays, starting 11/19/2018. With everything going on its just becoming a little much to get the chapter written, edited, and up to par twice a week. I'll resume two days a week in 2019. Reaching the bonus chapter amounts of $25 (currently sitting at $20) will still get you a bonus chapter, and patreon contributors at or above $5 will still get a look at the advanced chapter. So no worries there.
PCS to Eden is starting to finish up, so i will probably be done in the next six weeks. Those will continue to post once a week on Fridays. If i have extra time, I can try to crank out a few A Change of Pace chapters. As you know it has been on a bit of a hiatus for the last few months. Working a 40 hr work week, having a baby, and posting three separate serials a week just wasn't feasible, and i wanted to concentrate a little more on my original works. Finishing up PCS to Eden will free up some time, but i kind of need to find my voice again with COP. It's been awhile. I'm not firmly committing to anything, but i'd like to put at least a few chapters together if I can.
Publishing
Part of the reason I can't commit fully is because I'm hard at work on new content to be published. Right now, I'm just waiting for the hospital bill to come in on my kid's birth. She was born back in July and all I've received so far is the anesthesiologists bill. I've got money put aside for another publishing, but i'm not willing to go through with it until I see the damage from the hospital.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
The first one i'll do is either a cleaned up version of the next section of Two Worlds, or I'm on TDY From Hell. I'd welcome anyone's input on what they want to see cleaned up on their E-readers hopefully in the first half of 2019.
That brings me to my current work in progress, Title TBD. Title TBD has a little of everything i like to write: military themes, supernatural, magic, a touch of superhero, and a dabble of GameLit aspects, which i'm trying out for the first time. You might ask how all that can be fit into one book, and my answer is for you to buy it when it comes out to find out Tongue [https://www.royalroadcdn.com/public/smilies/tongue.png] I'm only at a little over 20K on the word count, so there is still a lot to go, but I have a lot of ideas and its flowing. Hopefully it'll be ready by later 2019, but that's a long time with everything I've got on my plate, so again no promises. That seems to be my mantra lately as an independent author.
I hope that brings everyone up to speed and prepares you for some short term changes. I don't like to shift my schedule too much, but reality calls and I need to be realistic. I was just surprised i was able to start cranking out new chapters of everything so soon after my kid was born.
As always if you want to support my independent writing career feel free to donate for bonus Two Worlds chapters or become a patreon. Both links are on my Home Page. You can also pick up my published works. Here's a LINK to get you to all three. They're all under $2.99 last time i checked or free on Kindle Unlimited. After your read, or if you have already read, please take the time and leave a short review. Word of mouth is the best advertising i can afford, so please share the wealth and help attract new readers. As always thanks to anyone who has done, is doing, or plans to do any of the above! :) [https://www.royalroadcdn.com/public/smilies/smile.png]
If you have any questions feel free to post them and i'll get back to you as soon as i can.
Happy Holidays to everyone and here's hoping for a productive 2019!
