Just a quick update.
I have completed the first draft of
Monsters, Maces and Magic: Betrayal. Actually it's more like a second draft for most sections. I am now working on final edits/revisions with
Monsters, Maces and Magic: Outpost, the first book in my new Fantasy (LitRPG) series.
When I get the edits for
Outpost finished, I'll send it to my publisher (Gryphonwood Press), who will assign an editor. While that is happening, I will begin the revision process on my end for
Betrayal. It will then go to Gryphonwood for editing.
I will have to incorporate/approve all recommended corrections/edits/revisions and then return the manuscripts for Gryphonwood to prep for publication.
I have one blurb in, and the cover art for both novels is completed (although the second is not cleared for preview yet). The titlework and other bits have yet to be finished, as well as the back of the book teaser.
Not yet solid on when the release for
Outpost will be, since there are still a lot of moving parts. But the plan is to release
Outpost, with having
Betrayal ready as a pre-order. The goal is to have two books in the series available in relatively close release.
Then, I will begin work on completing the third novel in the
Crax War Chronicles (
Relic Shield). It's outlined and I began writing it, but it's not been touched since January of last year. During most of 2017 I focused on the two
Dane Maddock Kindle World releases (
Rock House and
Cavern) as well as writing
Betrayal.
So it's possible I may have three novels published in 2018. :)
After that, either work on the next
Monsters, Maces and Magic novel or the next
First Civilization's Legacy novel.
We'll see.
