As all formats of Mind Games are completed, I have shifted my focus onto the next part of the METAVERSE, Grimoire of Darkness: the Phoenix Hunter III.
The original version of this story that I started many years ago and halted because I had trouble writing it was called the Mystic Tome. Now I am rolling with the story. The first two chapters of the story are in the back of Mind Games. With Grimoire of Darkness, there is time to complete this book. It is not due out til February 18, 2018. Here is Chapter 1 below: 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... I am in the process of translating the first five parts of the METAVERSE into Français (French), Deutsche (German), italiano (Italian), Português (Portuguese), and Español (Spanish). the Phoenix Hunter will become le Chasseur de Phenix, der Phönixjäger, il Cacciatore di Fenice, o Caçador de Fênix, and el Cazador de Fenix. First Moonlight: A Moontripper Novel will translate to Premier Clair de Lune: Un Roman Lunaire, Erstes Mondlicht: Ein Mondreisender Roman, Prima Luce della Luna: Un Romanzo Viaggiatore Luna, Primeiro Luar: Uma Novela do Viajiante da Lua, Primero Luz de Luna: Una Novela de Viajero Lunar Rogue Wolf: the Phoenix Hunter II will translate into Loup Dechaine: le Chasseur de Phenix II, Schurkenwolf: der Phönixjäger II, Lupo Canaglia: il Cacciatore di Fenice II, Lobo Rouco: o Caçador de Fênix II, Lobo Pícaro: el Cazador de Fenix II Arcanum will translate into either Arcanum (french / italian), Arcano (portuguese/ spanish), or Arkanum (German). Mind Games will translate into Jeux d'Esprit, Gedankenspiele, Giochi di Mente, Jogos Mentais, and Juegos Mentales I am using a translator program to help me translate it. I know that programs are not perfect. But I am doing my best to get them translated properly. 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 MIND GAMES #1 is the fifth entry into the METAVERSE. I have just completed the initial handwritten draft of the book. This initial draft is a rewrite of an earlier version I wrote years ago and could not find. I have planned a trilogy for the character of Kayla Sanders in her own standalone title, but that may not be enough to garner her whole story. As I continue to write the books of the METAVERSE several things are coming about: the complexity of the characters and their supporting casts, the complexity of the stories and what has yet to be told, the want of these characters to go onto greater things, and the endless stories that could be told. However, right now I am concentrating on writing the next book as I write these stories one at a time. Ideas are just abound right now. I am even working on a book I have had trouble with in the past GRIMOIRE OF DARKNESS: THE PHOENIX HUNTER III. Right now you can pre-order MIND GAMES #1 from your favorite online bookstores at books2read.com/MV5MG Starting the second week in September there are plans to add a rotating schedule of posts. Some will be easy to maintain. Others not so much. However, I plan to keep things going this way on a regular basis.
Mondays: Character of the Week (this will never run out as I continue to add characters to the METAVERSE) Tuesdays: Teasers (First Tuesday every month) Wednesdays: Writing Tips Thursdays: Tales (Flash Fiction) Fridays: METAVERSE TALK Personal Posts such as life and more can happen any day of my choosing. Likely to show up on my Instagram or Facebook feed. Summer is that time of year that seems, generally, loaded with inconsistancies. Yet, I have still managed to keep to a bimonthly publication schedule. To tell you the truth, it is not easy to do so But I am finding a way.
Part of the inconsistancies is the lack of a consistent schedule on this site. I have not decided what content to put on here and on what schedule. That is still a work in progress itself. Arcanum arrives in three weeks from your favorite online bookstores
I look forward to continue the story of the Metaverse. This book will, also, be the first book in the Arcanum trilogy. Here is a small exceprt, enjoy! IT WAS LATE IN the evening; Elise is serving coffee to a strange gentleman at Lester’s Diner on the edge of the small town of Cyprus Falls. The strange gentleman sits like a statue wearing a fine dark blue Armani suit with black shiny shoes. Elise, a curly brunette waitress wearing a blue uniform trimmed in white with a white apron, senses something is off about the pale faced gentleman to whom she is serving. When the cup reaches half full he stops her. "Thank you," his melodic voice says stoically. "That will be all." Elise stops pouring the coffee and walks away feeling as though she has just been dismissed making her irked. She continues over to the counter where a couple of her coworkers, fellow waitresses, are staring at the strange pale faced gentleman, as if drooling over him. Elise looks at them rather quizzically. “I could eat him up,” says the curly blonde waitress. "I'd forget about him if I were you two," Elise says as her co-workers look at her with furrowed brows. "Why is that?" Heather, he blonde shoulder length haired co-worker, asks as she drools over Elise's customer. "He's just so scrumptious. Look at his physique. Yum." "Yeah, Elise," Kari Cook, her flame headed co-worker with green eyes, tells her. "He could just be having a bad day. That guy is hot." "Well, maybe," Elise says after thinking about it for a second while sitting the coffee pot back in the burner to keep it warm. "But he was still rather smug and rude. Something is off about him." The bell from the back dings and the cook shouts "Order from Tables 4 & 5 are ready!" Quickly, Kari grabs a large tray to put the orders on. She looks at the orders and becomes queasy. Ugh. My God, who could eat food cooked like this? She thought to herself. The door from outside opens as another pale-faced gentleman enters. He is wearing a dark leather jacket with dark hair slicked back. He is also wearing blue jeans and rattlesnake skin boots. I have done some soul searching and thinking after putting out that last post and ambitious publishing schedule. I have cut back on the schedule. At the same time, I am rebranding all my characters and universes into one much larger universe called the Metaverse. It is called the Metaverse because all non-humans are classified as Metas, whether they be Vampire, Lycan, Witch, Faeries, Elves, or Alien. The are policed by their own force called Metapol. At first the Metaverse will start on Earth. Eventually, it will spread out into the unknown universe in the stars above. Some of my favorite characters from previous incarnations of books written will make their appearance. The schedule is written through October 2021. But it is not set in stone. |
