Today’s the Day!

Everyone! It’s finally here!

Three and Two and Two is now available at most vendors here! Most of that variation is going to be ebook platforms for now. If you would like to get it in print, Barnes and Noble is going to be the most reliable source. Amazon will also distribute it eventually, but they are currently working through an issue with their handling of certain ISBNs.

All the technicalities aside, the journey to publication is finally over, and I’m so happy you all could join me on it. There are more journeys ahead, of course: new adventures, new stories to tell. The exciting world of ads and marketing that I’m going to be embroiled in for the coming months. The much longer meditation of what this all means in the long run. But that is soon, and this is now. The book is here, and should you have time, I hope you’ll give it a look.

Two and Two Days to Go!

We’re almost there! Three and Two and Two is coming out in only four days!

Preorders (for the ebook format) are available from certain (non-Amazon) stores–you can find them here! Stay tuned for print copies and Amazon. I’m not assuming that print will be available for pre-order prior to 7/1, but I will update if anything changes!

For those of you who follow me for more general content, I apologize again for the drought while all of this has been in the works. I have three posts written and awaiting transcription, and I hope to have them to you in the coming weeks. Thank you all for staying with me on this journey, and I’ll hopefully have some exciting things to share with you soon!

Q&A&Two&Two

Hey everyone! I wanted to jump back on to provide some quick details about the upcoming release of Three and Two and Two!

When is it coming out?

I’m currently targeting a release date of 7/1, and so far, everything is on track. I’ve reviewed the digital proof of the paperback, and now I’m just waiting on the physical proof copy (leaving some padding in the schedule in case anything needs to change). Given that the digital print proof looks good, I’m not currently anticipating any issues with validating the ebook layout either.

What formats will it be available in?

Ebook and paperback, available from most digital storefronts where books are sold. Time permitting, I will be attempting to make some inroads at physical bookstores as well, but that will not be immediate. I may release a hardcover edition at some point, but there are no plans for that at this time.

What happened to the Crossroads posts?

They are now behind a password (with the exception of the Prologue, which, not to spoil anything, got cut. It will likely appear in a subsequent book in the series). Despite the volume of editing that went into the book, there is still enough similarity with what is there that I would prefer my readers engage with the finished product. At some point, I may offer access to the unedited content of my released books as a paid subscriber perk (e.g. on Patreon), but that framework is not in place yet.

How many books will be in the Crossroads series?

Three! When the subsequent two will come out remains a mystery. The soonest the second could arrive is probably around a year from now (though I may publish a book outside the series before that), but depending on my professional circumstances (as well as the sales of the first book), that could very well be longer.

For now, though, stay tuned. The future be damned, the beginning of the story is finally here, and I’m so excited to share it with all of you.

Where Is All This Dust Coming From

In a way, publishing my work has been very exciting, if finicky and social media-y. I’m out there in the world, readable in a format that people will actually approach. By this, I don’t mean you. You’re better than people–you read my website. I am rather referring to the sort who react to my declaration that I have written a thing with a squint, a frown, and an apologetic “oh, it’s online? I don’t really read things on the internet…”

But that’s okay.

On the off chance you moonlight as one of these people, my book, Promises for a Worse Tomorrow, which, yes, I will be mentioning in every post I make for at least the next month, sorry, is going to be free on Amazon this weekend, 3/31 to 4/2. If you were interested but put off by the cost, think that all written material should be free (which I’m with you on, but I have bills to pay, so throw me a bone), or just feel like doing me a favor at minimal cost to you, go pick it up!

However, that does not mean that the delights featured here on mY wEbSiTe will be going away. Pre-editing chapters for Whom Emperors Have Served and Crossroads Book 2 will continue going up, the former hopefully sooner rather than later. In the meantime, thanks for reading. I continue to appreciate all of you.
