Sorry for the disappearance

5/23/2018

0 Comments

 
This past month has rather been busy for me.
Writing, like I wish, is not my only job.
I work writing stories in my time off from my money making job.
That being said, I am hard at work on the new Metaverse book, Order of the Blue Moon (Moontripper #2).
At the same time, I am working on a story for the Anthology called Magical Book of Wands, which is due out later this year, October, if I remember correctly.
Furthermore, I am back writing in the Odyssey Star universe with Star Samurai and Sentinel Princess.

There are other books and stories that I am working on, which includes Adventures of Griffin Kane, Harmony, Southern Hospitality, Southern Desires, and more....

The next Metaverse books due out soon are:
  • June 22nd: Order of the Blue Moon (Moontripper #2)
  • August 24th: Return of the Dark Sisters (Cyprus Falls Coven #2), features Destiny Phoenix, the Phoenix Hunter
  • October 19th:  Let the Games Begin (Mind Games #2)
  • November will bring about the first two collections 
    • Call of the Lycan (the Phoenix Hunter, First Moonlight, and Rogue Wolf collected)
    • Body Snatcher (Hand of the Arcane, Mind Games, and Grimoire of Darkness collected)

Also working on the cover to Order of the Blue Moon for release real soon. Later this week or next.

See you on the other side of the screen.

Change in Publishing Schedule for April 2018

3/5/2018

0 Comments

 
I still have the April 20, 2018 date for publishing a book.
However, the original book in that slot for METAVERSE, Order of the Blue Moon: A Moontripper Novel,  has been pushed back to the June slot. This pushes back all the other METAVERSE books too by 2 months. In its spot, Odyssey Star: Into the Unknown will be published by Galaxia Press and Rising Dragons Publishing.

Odyssey Star: Into the Unknown is on the way to being finished. I am 14 chapters into the story. I feel it being near the conclusion within the month of March, it will be done.

Tomorrow is the release of Grimoire of Darkness

As I sit here and go through the work of moving all my books into one KDP account and doing some rebranding, I realize that the rebranding was not as necessary as I thought.

I may go back and fix things but still tie them all together within the same saga but in separate subseries of the main series, if that makes any sense. 

Grimoire of Darkness is truly the third of the the Phoenix Hunter series, but it also has other characters crossover from Mind Games and Cyprus Falls Coven series. This book also leads into the next Moontripper book, Order of the Blue Moon.

It is not easy to write an interconnected series with subseries of books as well, but I am finding it rather intriguing and challenging as well as a bit fun.

Look for the METAVERSE Books Grimoire of Darkness (Metaverse: Phoenix Hunter #3) tomorrow and Order of the Blue Moon: A Moontripper Novel (Metaverse: Moontripper #2) on April 20th, 2018.

There will soon be a change in the logos of all the books back to there respective subseries logos that are already created. They will coincide with the next release and update to the METAVERSE saga.

Continuing The Transfer to 1 KDP Account

1/30/2018

I have already transferred all the METAVERSE books' digital copies to the same KDP account. While doing that, I streamlined them from multiple series to just one. They are under the same banner as METAVERSE.

Now, I am reformatting the books to have the same aesthetic throughout. This includes the interior page format and the logos. As I get the paperbacks ready, I am setting up the presale for the digital format of GRIMOIRE OF DARKNESS, the 6th book in the series. I am currently writing ORDER OF THE BLUE MOON as well.

GRIMOIRE OF DARKNESS IS COMPLETE!

12/5/2017

0 Comments

 
The manuscript to Grimoire of Darkness is completed! I am now working on the back information of the book as well as the preview to the next book in the Metaverse saga, Order of the Blue Moon (Moontripper #2). This book stems off right from the Epilogue of Grimoire of Darkness (the Phoenix Hunter #3).

At the same time I am working on the completion of the cover to GRIMOIRE OF DARKNESS.

GRIMOIRE OF DARKNESS is scheduled for release Feb 16, 2018.

Different Visual Look on Covers

11/12/2017

0 Comments

 
The covers to the books in each of the series will have a slightly different look than before... Not much of a difference really. Just a more cohesive look to go with each of the series as I move them onto one KDP. I will update the looks to the books and the forthcoming books such as GRIMOIRE OF DARKNESS and ORDER OF THE BLUE MOON.

You will notice a more prominent series title presence on the first and subsequent books in each series from METAVERSE PRESS. Each book in each series combines for an overall story of the METAVERSE. Characters will go into outerspace, travel through telwpostation to other realms, and more...

The METAVERSE expands...

With GRIMOIRE OF DARKNESS already being written, I am starting to get the feel for the next book in the METAVERSE, ORDER OF THE BLUE MOON. The ORDER OF THE BLUE MOON is already starting to take some shape as I get into the middle of GRIMOIRE OF DARKNESS.

I have never gotten to these books in the past as I have worked on these various series. But I think they are coming along great. I cannot wait to continue these series through and through.

Sorry about the lapses in time between the previous post and this.
I am trying to get on a semblance of a normal schedule with my posts, but life has a way of making things harder than expected.

New Endeavors

10/3/2017

Started the typing process to the beginning of the sixth installment of the METAVERSE.
The sixth installment of the METAVERSE is the third book of the Phoenix Hunter, which is Grimoire of Darkness.
Grimoire of Darkness will, also, be translated into foreign languages as well.

Also, the METAVERSE has 31 books on the schedule thus far. Other books are in the process of being worked upon. But the schedule is just tentative until the books are written and published. I will adjust the schedule as I see fit. I have adjusted to fit the story of The Games Begin into the overall story of the Mind Games series.

Some characters will transverse over into other series. There are plans for Destiny to show up in the Arcanum series. Michel LeBeouf will show up in a very important roll in Order of the Blue Moon. the Phoenix Hunter has crossed over with the other series of the METAVERSE.

Harmony will have its own series and does not connect to the METAVERSE. 

Odyssey*Star will arrive in it own time. It may not be the same saga as before. I am still contemplating what Odyssey * Star will entail when it comes back. It may or may not come in contact with the METAVERSE. I doubt it will.

METAVERSE PRESS will keep the book series in its run that is already there. But METAVERSE starting in 2018 will likely cut down to publishing four books a year so that October can be other projects I am writing. METAVERSE will publish in Feb, Apr, June, and August. Each current series will have a specific month to publish in. 

​Stay tuned for more updates...

Update 9.20.17

Three books are in progress at this point...

I am in the midst of typing MIND GAMES for its release on October 20th. The book is on pre-order at your favorite online bookstore.

GRIMOIRE OF DARKNESS: THE PHOENIX HUNTER III is being written by hand at the moment. I find writing this way to be somewhat easier than staring at a blank screen all the time. It will release next year on Feb 21st tentatively.

HARMONY, not a part of the METAVERSE and in a separate line of stories all together, arrives late next year. It will be
