Kal’s April 2017 Forecast

Leave a comment

It’s April!  I’m a bit behind in my writing between breaking my foot (yay, the first bone I’ve broken!) and moving to a new house.   However, I’m also writing as much as I can in order to keep up.  The blog posts being sparse is a product of that, I’m afraid.

The good news is that I’m on track to finish the next Shadow Space Chronicles book within the next week.  Ghost Star, Book Six of the Shadow Space Chronicles, should be ready for publishing sometime in May.  I’ve already outlined and started on my next book, the third installment of the Rising Wolf series (Fenris Unchained).  My working title for that is Jormungandr’s Venom and I hope to have it done by the end of April.

All this week I’ve got Echo of the High Kings available for free on Amazon.  Yes, free.  So if you haven’t got a copy, yet or if you want to recommend it to friends, get your copy here!

I’ve got a lot of writing planned for May, too, with the next book of the Eoriel Saga, Heir to the Fallen Duchy to be completed to get it ready to publish in July.

In the near future, you should see Ghost Star (May), Jormungandr’s Venom (June), Valor’s Child (June) and Heir to the Fallen Duchy (July).  Four books published over the next three months.  I’m working hard to make it and I hope everyone is looking forward to these books as much as I am.  Thanks for reading!

Drat, Foiled Again…

Well, if you’ve noticed the dead silence around here, there’s a reason: my laptop computer died.  And by died, I mean it went completely non-recoverable, complete flatline, OS not found.  Fortunately I don’t save any of my writing files on my hard drive.  Unfortunately, my ancient notebook isn’t capable of running much more than a word document and my desktop computers aren’t great for traveling, which I was doing a lot of at the time.

So, as you can imagine, I haven’t been able to do much writing for blog posts or updating here.  My monthly newsletter, of which the first will go out in only a couple days, will be out on time.  I had a nicely written review for Ant Man, but that I had saved on the hard drive, and since it’s been out this long, I’ll just say I had a lot of fun.

I have a release date planned for The Prodigal Emperor, but I’m waiting to hear back on little things like the cover, so I’m not going to make it public just yet.  Subscribers to the newsletter will get an exclusive first look at the first two chapters.  Also, subscribers this month get a chance to win a signed copy of Wrath of the Usurper.  Don’t miss out and sign up today!

That’s all for now, I promise to be back online as soon.  Thanks for reading!

Echo of the High Kings Audiobook, Rerelease, and Giveaway

1 Comment

Good morning everyone.  I’m happy to say that progress on the Echo of the High Kings audio book is well underway.  To celebrate the audiobook release, I’m having a new cover produced for the paperback and ebook versions and running something of a contest and giveaway as well as a book bomb.

The book bomb will be timed to coincide with (roughly) the day of the audiobook release on Audible and (hopefully) Amazon.  Since there’s a delay of 3-7 days from when the audiobook is approved to when it goes live, I’m going to arbitrarily set a day now for a book bomb.  That will be the 11th of October.

On to the part that people get excited about: giving stuff away.  I’m going to do a contest as part of the book bomb.  For all reviews written on Echo of the High Kings to verified purchasers, I’ll do an entry into a drawing.  On the 15th of November, I’ll post the winners on my blog, they can then contact me afterward.  Now, for first place, I’m giving away a signed paperback copy of Echo of the High Kings (currently a $28 value).  For second place, I’m giving away an audiobook code (winner’s choice) good for either The Fallen Race or Echo of the High Kings.  Third place, you don’t get a book, but you do get put in a book as a character… no guarantees about survival, of course.  This is a random drawing, so the reviews, good or bad, that win will be the winner, also if there’s no way to identify the particular winner, (IE, no name posted with the review or no one steps forward), I’ll draw for a new winner.  Also, while the book bomb is on the 11th, I’ve no way to tell when a particular reviewer actually bought the book, so I’ll draw from all reviews posted until the 15th of November.   For those of you who take a bit longer, that’s 2 months to do some reading and write up a review.

Thanks everyone for reading and enjoy!
