So... I have a confession to make. I did something stupid. (Or brilliant, maybe...) I signed up for a massive book promotion... for a book I hadn't written yet.
And that promotion starts on May 29.
And that book is... The Son of the Deathless.
No, not written yet. But it will be! because I have no other choice :)
Seriously, though. I'm very excited to send you all this new novella, which will be a heart-felt gift to all my subscribers and Patreon story lovers. It's the beginning of a new fantasy series in the universe of the Raven Son series, but thousands of years later.
And it's going to knock your socks off.
So keep an eye out. You're all going to get it in about two weeks!
As soon as I survive my latest feat of insanity: a sixty-mile, 12 hour adventure race that will most likely be held in continuous rain.
You know... fun!
Here are some other things that have been happening this past month:
1. I've started a new podcast! This episode, on The Green Knight and Secular Apocalypses, is so far my personal favorite.
2. Season three of my fairy-tale retellings podcast has started! We're now going to feature a new episode every two weeks... indefinitely! Thank you to my wonderful Patreon patrons for making this possible.
3. My dear friend and Grammy-nominated (he should have won!!!) composer Benedict Sheehan and I are up to our creative shaningans again, and we talk about it in this exclusive Patreon conversation. Come and join us in story-lover land and listen to this wonderful exchange between two crazy people :)
4. We've just started reading Howl's Moving Castle with my Patreon book club. I'm very excited to talk about this wonderful book with my patrons and then to watch the movie together with them. Come and join us!
New Book Alert!
My friend and fellow author JA Andrews, who also has a wonderful author newsletter that you should check out, has just finished a new fantasy series, the Keeper Origins. To celebrate the launch of hte last book, she's making book 1 99c. Check out the whole series! Here's a little teaser:
One woman’s search for freedom, truth, and most of all, family.
Sable, a thief who can sense the truth in people’s words, has spent ten years trying to protect her family and escape from a ruthless gang boss.
Though she gains her freedom, out at the edges of civilization she discovers a new, terrible truth—the Kalesh Empire, long believed to be an ally, is gathering to attack.
It should be simple to warn the people, but the Empire’s lies are deeply entrenched.
Sable’s gift is stronger than she thinks, but will it be enough to convince the land of the truth before the Empire destroys them all?
Click here to check out the complete series!
That's all for me today! I need to go look at a bunch of maps and figure out how to survive 60 miles of trekking in the wild in twelve hours!
Thanks, as always, for coming along with me for my writerly adventures!
