August Update

Busy month, and also an unlucky month. Some audiobook news, though.

• Heretic Spellblade 5 should be out on the 3rd September. It’s been a slog putting it together, and it’s kind of huge, so this comes with caveats (read below). Pre-order will be around 5 days before it’s out if it’s not delayed. Check out the early chapters on Patreon and the cover with Ciana on this post.
  EDIT 29/8: Pre-order is up now.

• Following my last update, I’ve had Podium do Demon’s Throne as they did an excellent job with Heretic Spellblade. They’ve confirmed that Stephanie Savannah will be narrating the new Demon’s Throne audiobooks. I’m really looking forward to these when they’re ready, but it will likely be a while.

• I’ve also licensed the Empire Reforged audio to Royal Guard. So, yes, I will finish this series. I’ll talk more about this once it’s relevant and there’s something substantial to announce (the talks have kind have come at an awkward time given I’ve been busy).

Anyway, Spellblade 5 caveats. Anyone on Patreon has seen some of my rumblings on the book, but I haven’t really talked about some other aspects. Namely that I’ve had a shit run of luck while trying to finish up the book. As I’ve joked with a few people, I think restaurants have it out for my writing plans, as I’ve gotten food poisoning twice recently (one of these times was during Neural Wraith) and I’m currently fighting a cold. I expect to power through it, but if it affects my writing, then things get delayed. If I get feedback that the book needs some more time in the oven, then that’ll happen.

Anyway, hopefully my next update is about the book releasing. Keep an eye out for the pre-order at the end of the month otherwise.
