Plans for the blog

There's a few things (besides basic updates and status) I've wanted to do for a long time. I'd been doing some of them on Facebook, but due to the cancerous algorithms, even people who followed my page rarely got to see updates amongst all of the paid advertising spam. So here we go, in no particular order.

Retrospectives: Basically go over the design process of each book. Some of them are fairly interesting, and only a handful were straight forward.

Word count: Every time there's a new book, or I do edits that change the word count of the books by more than a hundred words or so, I like to keep that updated. It's fun for me.

Artwork: I generated quite a bit of artwork for these stories. Not nearly as much as the webcomic project I did before this, but still quite a significant amount. Also to include the back story on each piece. Although I'm a little divided on whether I should do that here or on DeviantArt. We'll see. Maybe if the feedback is positive I'll keep it here.

Easter eggs: It'd be fun to capture all of the Easter eggs and characters somewhere. Right now its in a text file on my computer but I'm working on building it out.

Timeline: I have a high level timeline I've been keeping in Visio that tracks the story progress. It'd be fun to post that here so everyone could see. Also I'd like to make it more visually appealing, which would be fun.

So, anyway. As people slowly find my blog, hollar and let me know what you think.

Book 14 followup and 15 update

Hello All, Slight oopsy and book #14 wasn't in KDP Select aka Kindle Unlimited for some reason. It's a checkbox that I know I hit but ya know, oh well. It's fixed now. Sorry whoever out there was mashing their head against the keyboard wondering why book book 1-13 was on KU and 14 wasn't. I don't know your name, but hats off to you for mashing through book #13 like a champ! I wish I could see what you liked about it but you read it through solid apparently, so must have been decent ;) Book 15 still in the works. It's going to be massive. By far the most characters introduced. Basically cramming in every single type of character I hadn't made yet that I find interesting in the most asked for setting. It'd better be massive also! I want my second "season" of books to be of comperable size which means this book has to be like two pretty beefy books in one. And you're in luck because it's going to have like 8 arcs, har har! "Wh...

Books renumbered on Amazon

Due to overwhelming feedback, the naming convention on Amazon for my books has been updated. No more roman numerals, except on the book covers. This would take forever to fix because Amazon doesn't have a super simple way of changing a single character on a book title that I can find, even though I made those in their system. It looks like they don't save it anywhere that I can tell. Suffice it to say everywhere else, the book numbers should be updated. I overestimated people's familiarity with roman numerals. Is what it is. Switching everything to numbers. It looks a little more basic, but I guess it sounds like that's what everyone wants. So I'll go with it and see how it does. Please let me know what you think? Amazon should have everything updated by tomorrow, hopefully. Thanks as always. Note 1: Amazon's "series" functionality still doesn't work. I have a note in to them, and I'll see if I can get them to set it up. Note 2: Me upda...

Book #13 first draft is done

Hello All, I know it took forever, but I finally got the blog created. The first draft of book #13 is done, finally. I know it took forever. I've had these hiccups in the past. The only other one I remember as significant was #4 but I swear there was a second one I got stuck on for a bit. It was basically the same as this one. I had the first "act" written and knew where it needed to end up, but the entire middle part refused to coagulate in my brain. When it finally did, the darn book wrote itself within a few days and ended up being the longest book I'd written so far. Basically takes place in California during its collapse, which happens a while before the PNW Collapse. A brave studly man fights off cartels to find a distress signal he thinks came from a prior group that he accidentally inspired and now feels responsible for. So anyway, onto some nerd stats for book #13. It's a little over 30,400 words. According to Excel that puts it a little highe...
