Good morning Terramyr fans!
I hope this email finds you doing
well. Only 20 more days until the mysterious litrpg busts onto the scene
and I can finally show it to all of you. I am beyond excited. So, in an
attempt to hold back my anxious desires to give everyone an early sneak
peek, I am going to focus on something else that is new and fun.
Meet
our new pup. Being a family that loves fantasy books, movies, and
games, you might expect the floofer to be named something like Thena,
Ramira Queen of Darkness, Fangs McGee, or (a personal favorite of my
wife's for D&D characters) Bethilda Hornswaggle. Especially since I
now have three out of five sons actively writing their own fantasy
stories complete with their own outlandish names to boot, it wouldn't be
unreasonable to expect a wild name complete with an origin backstory.
So... what did we name the little ball of fur?
Drum roll please....
Terramyr
fans, I'm excited to introduce Mei Mei (inspired not by epic fantasy
sagas, but by Ni Hao Kai Lan, which has been a favorite cartoon around
here since our first-born was less than a year old).
Speaking of our first born... that's him sitting on the back steps reading to Mei Mei. He's a little older now... ;)
So,
it may not be a great big book reveal, but at least sharing something
cute, fluffy, and new has helped me satisfy my desire to give you all a
sneak peek at something. :)
Now, back to writing. I've officially
scheduled 14 "episodes" on Kindle Vella. Not sure exactly when Vella is
going to launch, there are rumors it will be Prime day, and other news
says it will be a couple months yet. Either way, if it launches after
the 14 episodes are scheduled to launch it will just mean that all of
them will be available immediately, so it should be fun. Wild Magic and
Dimwater's Devotions are the main vella stories I am focusing on at the
moment, with some Phinean and Jaleal mixed in for good measure :)
Also, while Son of the Dragon is certainly not new, it does have a new development as well. The omnibus version is now available in hard cover!
And let me tell you, this thing is very large. Essentially it's the
size of a D&D handbook, but at that size with 11 pt font it's still
nearly four hundred pages long. (Keep in mind it's around 300,000
words.) It's a beast of a book, and I have to admit it looks pretty
impressive on a shelf lol. The paperback is a little easier to find a
shelf for it to fit on, but it's fun to be putting out hard cover
editions of certain books.
Not sure how many hard covers we'll end
up doing, but we will be getting paperback editions for Dimwater's Door
and The Kuscan Demon this summer too so we have those ready prior to
SLC FanX where I'll be showing off all sorts of fun items this year.
That's
it for this week! If you haven't yet taken a moment to put up a review
for the Kendualdern series, please take a moment to do so. Also, check
out this week's book spotlight-- The Throne of Ice and Ash by J.D.L.
Rosell -- I think a lot of you will enjoy it.
