2024 Goals and an Exclusive Audiobook Sneak Peek
Jan 13, 2024 7:10 am
Happy New Year !
Welcome to 2024 (plus a few days)! I usually like to start the new year with a sort of roadmap for myself, and for you, my amazing readers. So without further ado, here we go!
- My first and most important goal is to finish the audiobook for Dawning of Darkness by March. I've put a lot of work into it, and the cast is superb. I can't think of a single person I would recast for someone else. They all did a phenomenal job!
- Shortly after I finish DoD, I'll be working on either the audiobook for Afterworld, or for Merlin's Crucible. I've technically already started Afterworld and have most of the character voices for the book done. This is because when I hired those for DoD I also had them do the voices for their characters in Afterworld. Knowing that, the reason I'm thinking of doing Merlin's Crucible is because it will take me a lot less time to complete (13k words vs 70k). With that in mind, I'm unsure which route I'll go yet. But, for the first few books, there should be a consistent cast among most of the characters.
- Finally, if I get the time, I'd like to do more writing on The Desperado's Tale. This book is already going to be delayed because of the audio work of those mentioned previously, but I'm hoping to get this epic novel out by late 2026. Unfortunately, it may be that it crosses into 2027 due to its final length and the time needed between beta readers and editors.
If you haven't yet watched the trailer for DoD, then check it out by clicking the image above. Once you're done, click HERE to check out a new, unreleased sample I've prepared for your pleasure. I won't lie, I think it's outstanding! Psst, yours truly does the audio editing and sound mixing.
If you're not into full cast audiobooks, please check out the ebooks and paperback/hardcovers (where available) for the rest of the series! This is just the start. I plan to have 30-33 books before I'm finished and hope you'll join me on this spectacular journey.
If you get a chance, once you read the books, please share and leave reviews on places like Goodreads and your favorite platforms. I'm still just starting out, so the more reviews and readers I gather, the more likely others like yourself will give the series a chance!
Finally, below I'm doing a few newsletter swaps with other Indies in my genre, but this will be the last swap I will do for a few months. Hopefully, you'll find a few books interesting among those I've selected! Give them a shot, and surely you'll find another brilliant series to lose yourself in!
Thank you again for your support! As a nobody trying to become a somebody, it means a lot!
