Like the viral marketing/content trough where people watch videos they hope will make them feel alive, even as each virtual second wrenches them further and further from the feeling that anything will ever be okay, ever again? No! It’s just the sound of the clock ticking down to the end of the Three and Two and Two ebook sale ending on Sunday! Buy it today, and perhaps escaping into a pocket of literary fantasy will forestall the gloom for another day!

No, I don’t guarantee it. It’s a pretty awesome book, though, if I’m allowed to toot my own horn.

One way or the other, though, thank you to all my readers. I hope you are doing well and that you have a lovely weekend!

Well, the first topic is easy: Three and Two and Two is available in ebook format everywhere for $2.99 until August 27th! Check it out here! Unfortunately, the print version is not currently discounted, as my print publisher is not especially agile with price changes. I’m looking into alternatives, but those won’t be for awhile.

Looking forward, I’m working on a few projects. The first is Whom Emperors Have Served. For those of you who have been skipping past those posts (because you don’t dig the unedited manuscript content, or for whatever reason), let me offer some context:

Whom Emperors Have Served (the working title of the overall story for which the first book will likely be titled $20,000 Under the Sea) is a mashup of the otherwise neighborly genres of noir, Lovecraft, and good-old-fashioned 19th century adventure-sci-fi. It’s a story of a group of misfits in the orbit of New York City’s rich-and-famous who are, for various reasons, roped into a celebratory voyage on a Titanic-like ocean liner, only to be plunged into a conspiracy of government secrets, monsters, and their own uncertain identities. The first book will hopefully be released within the next year!

Meanwhile, I am also writing the second book in the Crossroads series–working title: The One Winged Lark and the One Eyed Crow–in parallel, albeit somewhat behind. I’m looking forward to beginning to share draft chapters for it in the coming days. Thank you to everyone who has read Three and Two and Two. I’m looking forward to continuing the adventure with you!

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.

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!

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.
