Kal’s January 2019 Forecast

So I’ve already posted a general outlook of what’s in store for me for the year.  What’s going on this month?  Well, I finished Jormungandr’s Venom, it’s off to the publisher soon and readers can expect it sometime around the end of the month (hopefully).  I’m making good progress on the fifth and final Children of Valor book: Valor’s Stand  and the plan is to have that one done this month.

Once I finish that, I can get back to work on the second book of the Argonauts in the 4HU.  My goal is to get that one done this month as well, and probably out to the publisher early next month.

So ideally there should be one book at the end of January with another one (possibly two) coming next month.  After I get both of those done, I’m going to start on the next Forsaken Valor book, which my goal is to finish in February.  If all goes well, I’ll finish that and then start on the seventh Shadow Space Chronicles book.

That’s all for now, thanks for reading!

Happy New Year everyone!

2019 is here.  Boy do I have a full plate.  I’ve got six books that I plan to get published this year, another three or four books I want to get written, and a whole lot of writing to do in general.

Right now I have twenty two books in print (kind of mind-blowing to me when I think about it).  They’re set in five different universes: Eoriel, Shadow Space, Star Portal, Dead Train, and Mark Wandrey’s 4HU.  I have nine different series in print, with an average* of three books per series (and 4 more books written that haven’t yet been published).  This year I plan to finish the Children of Valor series, wrapping it up in book five, while continuing to write the spinoff series, Forsaken Valor.  I also plan to return to my Eoriel Saga, Shadow Space Chronicles, and Renegades series, with more books coming in all of them.  I’m working on the next Argonauts book in the 4HU as well.  My goal is to release a book every two months this year and finish the year at 28 published books.

Conventions are going to be coming fast this year.  I’ll be attending  LTUE in Provo, Utah (February),  Starfest in Denver, CO (April), Liberty Con in Chattanooga, TN (May/June), Spike Con/NASFIC in Layton, UT (July), Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA (August/September).  I may be forgetting something here or there, but that’s what I see for now.  At roughly one convention every two months for the rest of the year, I’m going to be very, very busy.

I’m also trying to coordinate and set up some book signings at local stores here in Colorado, but I’m not sure when that will be happening.  I’ll be sure to post dates here as soon as I know.

On the blog post front, I’m going to be posting some additional writing blog posts as well as movie reviews, book reviews, and whatever else comes up.

Lastly I’m trying to get the audiobook versions of my YA series up soon, ideally over the next few months.  That’s all for now, thanks for reading, and have a happy new year!

*Okay, 2.44, but it almost rounds up!
