JAN 2023 NOVEL NEWS UPDATE
Dear Reading Friend, this is David Telbat. We hope your New Year has begun with the Lord's appearing on your heart! This prophetic event is always on the Telbat Team minds as we work hard to produce clean, Christ-centered adventure novels. And that's what I'm writing about today, to give you the full scoop on our current and future writing projects… Below, you will find notes from Dee and some from myself:
GIVEAWAYS & SALES – from Dee
For those who took part in our recent Inspirational Fiction & Nonfiction BookSweeps Giveaway, which ended Jan 18 and included David’s FURY in the STORM, Book One in The Leeward Set, we will announce the winners in our Feb 6th newsletter.
Meanwhile, mark your calendar for another sale coming February 6-10 of David’s DAWN of AFFLICTION
eBook! It will be FREE to everyone for 5 days!
Watch for that link in our Feb 6 newsletter.
UPDATE on THE NEVER LOST SERIES – from David
Book one of this series is called Hidden Humanity—a novel exposing human trafficking, which many of you have already read. As I type this, Dee is busy editing book two, called Shadow Slave.
Shadow Slave
picks up six months after the first book ends. Familiar characters play a mighty role against a whole new threat. You'll also meet some new champions of the faith, like a Christian border patrol agent and a young woman who endures by trusting in God's love even through mistreatment by her captors. (These will be the only two novels in this series.)
NOTE from Dee
– When Shadow Slave is ready to publish, we’ll have a short sale on both Book One, AND Book Two! So, watch our newsletters for that news as we get closer to publication. Also, for our wonderful Beta Reading Team: we’ll be in touch with you in a few weeks.
VISIONS of HOPE – from Dee
We are happy to announce the next book in David’s Christian Short Story Collections, VISIONS of HOPE!
The ebook has 31 stories, and has been updated with a new short story (replacing one of the original stories). And the paperback version is NOW LIVE! Visit our book page for links to both versions. We pray you are encouraged by this new book focused on HOPE.
THE LAST DAWN SERIES – from Dee
If you’ve wondered if The Last Dawn Series would ever make it into paperback—IT HAS! Dee has finally finished updating each eBook and creating the paperback versions. You can now find these four books through the following links, which includes paths to both ebook and paperbacks! DAWN of AFFLICTION; ~ DAWN of OPPRESSION; ~ DAWN of SUBJECTION; ~ DAWN of TRIBULATION
Something else you may want to know: though our eBook versions of David’s books are usually only found on Amazon (except our free eBooks are found at many retailers), the paperback versions can also be found at other retailers. Just go to your favorite retailer and search for D.I. Telbat. You may just be surprised! 😉
FYI:
If/when you shop at Amazon for D.I. Telbat books, they usually link his Kindle and paperback versions together on the same page, which makes them easy to find. But for some reason, Amazon isn’t linking every one of David’s books together (such as the eBooks & paperbacks of Dawn of Oppression and Dawn of Subjection, even though I’ve contacted them. That makes the paperbacks hard to find). So the best way to find all versions on Amazon or
Bookshop is to go through our website here where you will find links to EVERY eBook & paperback version (on those sites). PS: We also earn a few cents (at no extra cost to you) when you buy through our links because we are now an Affiliate for Amazon & Bookshop. Thanks for your support!
A NEW SERIES! – from David
Dee and I are happy to announce the title for my next series! It will be called The E.L.M. (or just ELM) Series: America’s Last Days, following the lives of the Caspertein family (Titus, Levi, Annette, and Wynter) during the first years after Pan-Day (i.e.: the collapse of America after the fictional Meridia Virus). E.L.M. stands for "Every Life Matters." The first book will be called Eve of Chaos. If you're familiar with the COIL and Caspertein timeline, then you'll understand that the "Eve" books come before the "Dawn" books.
So, in The ELM Series, we'll be seeing what the survivors of COIL did during the twenty years between Pan-Day and Dawn of Affliction
of the Last Dawn Series. Titus and Oleg are in San Diego, after we got to know them in The COIL Legacy Series. But they're not alone! Chevy is there, as well as Wes Trimble and pregnant Wynter. Levi is nearly twenty as the book begins, seeking to be recognized as a man in his own right, yet still looking up to his renowned father. I’ll have more to share as the weeks progress!
UPDATED BOOKS & DOWNLOADS – from Dee
From Dee:
In recent months, I’ve updating several eBooks, paperbacks (including the above-mentioned Dawn Series), and Book Funnel downloads. There are still many more to update but here are the latest. The book storylines have not changed; I’ve mostly updated the bibliographies and outdated links. If you desire, you can download the following updated files for:

From David:
We don't know what the future may hold for us on this earth in the coming year, but like you, Dee and I remain watchful for the Lord's appearing while remaining active in His will until that day. When I'm not writing, I disciple new and growing believers in the Scriptures. I also create discipleship materials for prisoners. Dee is also involved in her local assembly—and somehow, she finds time to produce these newsletters, edit novels, and publish my books!
For our Beta-Readers out there, get ready for more exciting and inspiring novels that fill in the gaps on the COIL timeline!
We look forward to another fruitful year and anticipate meeting all of you one day face to face!
See you on the next page!
David Telbat
