Kal’s 2019 Forecast

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!

Kal’s April 2016 Forecast

Leave a comment

April is here and with it Book II of The Renegades (get it here).  It was great to write again in that universe and with those characters and the feedback I’ve heard back has been great.

I’m currently finishing work on a couple different projects, mostly editing and some rewrites.  I’ve finished outlining the next story of the Shadow Space Chronicles, The Sacred Stars, which follows up where The Prodigal Emperor left off.  The Sacred Stars  gets back into the combat/military science fiction in a big way, with all new toys for the characters to play with.  If I’m able to stick to my schedule, I’ll start writing it in May, which puts it on track for a release in July.

One of the projects I’m editing and rewriting is Fate of the Tyrant.   I’m doing my best to make certain it is every bit of the book that my fantasy fans deserve.  If the edits and rewrites go well, I’ll have it done at the end of April and that means a release in June.

Another project I’m working on is one with my main publisher, Sutek Press.  They’re interested in doing an anthology in my Shadow Space Universe.  I’ll announce more when the details are worked out.  But if you’re interested in writing in that universe, Sutek Press might be interested.

The next few months are light on conventions for me.  My next one is in July at Liberty Con, and from there I’ll have one a month for the remainder of the year.

For those of you who live in Colorado or might be in the area over the next few months, I’m trying to set up some book signings at various locations.  I’ll post details soon.  If you’d like me to do a signing in your area (and it isn’t too far away) message me here at the website or on Facebook.

Thanks for reading!

Kal’s June 2015 Forecast

Leave a comment

June is here and it looks to be a very busy month.  For those of you who missed it, Wrath of the Usurper, Book II of the Eoriel Saga came out last weekend.  The publishing process was a bit slowed on that due to my transition from active duty to civilian life.  I’m hoping to speed the process of writing/publishing now.  I’m hard at work on The Prodigal Emperor, Book III of the Shadow Space Chronicles, which I plan to have done by the end of the month.  If all goes according to plan, I’ll have it out to my alpha readers and then published in August.  I’ve already outlined the sequel to Fenris Unchained and that’ll be my next writing project, which if I’m really ambitious (and I get a lot more free time than I expect), I might get started on before the month is over.

I’m currently in California for an event, which I’ll post more information on next week.  At the end of the month, I’ll be in Chattanooga for Liberty Con, which if you haven’t already bought tickets for, they’ve sold out.  Added into the mix I’ve got a host of things to do.  All in all, while it’s exciting to be this busy, I’ll be glad once I can finally take a breather at the end of the month.

That’s all for now.  Next Monday I should have a big announcement, so check back here for that!
