The Future Brings Dystopia and Death Brings Second Chances
Hey there!
Looks like I missed getting a February AND March newsletter out. So busy with so many things. But I did get my first commission for recording a book for someone other than myself. The book is Let There Be Fire by R.A. Morley and is available at Amazon and other retailers. It's about revenge, rescue, & redemption & a dark-elf, Kalidas Lír, caught between warring gods, who finds his journey to be more than he bargained for. I expect it to be available in the audiobook format by May.
I’ve also revamped a lot of projects, and will tell you more about that soon.
Events
I will be attending the events below as an author, guest, and/or speaker.
April 21st through 23rd - RavenCon at Virginia Crossings by Hilton in Glen Allen, VA
May 20th - Fandomania from 10:00-3:00, at the Providence Community Center in Fairfax, VA
June 17th - Fredericksburg Book Festival from 10:00 to 4:00 at Riverfront Park in Fredericksburg, VA
Free Stories
I am posting chapters of my Kindle Vella Series, The Traveller’s Inn twice a week for free for my supporters of my Ko-fi, Patreon, or this newsletter. It won’t be emailed like a regular newsletter, because I don’t want to flood your email with them, but you can find the first one here. If you support on any of these platforms, check them out for an exciting and fun fantasy series! Oh, and it’s also available as a podcast!
Here’s a quick description, done in the spirit of Spider Robinson’s Callahan's Crosstime Saloon:
Jack Tucker, time traveller, owns The Traveller's Inn. It has a bar, employees, customers, and drink specials, just like other places. With one difference, this inn can be anywhere it wants to be. It's a cross-dimensional, time-hoping, world-jumping, reality-shifting business that caters to a special crowd. Behind its doors you can find cyborgs, ogres, aliens, demons, automatons, faeries, and others. When it comes to dimension-spanning adventures, it's all about location, location, location.
Audiobooks
I’ve recorded Portals books 1 - 4, Silver & Smith Chronicles 1 - 2, and all the 27 Thoughts books as audiobooks, and publishing a new one every couple of weeks over the next couple of months. All these are recorded on my live-stream on Twitch, if you want to see how it’s done. So, if audiobooks are your thing, check them out and keep an eye out for new ones!
Podcasts
I am revamping my podcasts. The new ones that will be hitting your favorite streaming service are: Tavern Society, Tavern Reflections, The Traveller’s Inn, A Guy & His Pipe, BS: PI, and Steeling for Survival. The older ones, such as Write Night! and Talk of the Tavern are still available for you as well.
Social Media
I will be changing up my social media game over the next month. I’ll be creating many more short videos on TikTok and YouTube shorts, and not giving as much attention to Twitter and a couple others.
What’s Next
First, I will be getting my audiobooks and podcasts rolled out. Then I will focus on getting Portals 5 and 6 edited and published. Once those are completed, I will begin writing The Silver & Smith Chronicles 3 -6 written and published, including audiobooks. That should keep me busy for the rest of the year!
What about you? What projects are you working on, or what are you looking forward to seeing come out in the next few months?
