Big August Update!
Welcome everyone to the big monthly update.
First up Warship Ares and the sequel Warworld Gaia are doing fabulous! Can’t thank everyone enough for the support of these books. Reviews on Warship Ares have finally hit the 20 mark on Amazon and I couldn’t be happier. While I’m not setting any records, both books are being read constantly on Amazon Kindle Unlimited and paperback sales are strong. Keep those reviews coming! Such a great feeling.
One thing I find strangest are the books ranking. Warship Ares is sitting strong in “War & Military Action Fiction” in both Kindle and books. Nice to see since this is a scifi series and not a real world war story. Other books in that category are Tom Clancy style of books, with the occasional fantasy book. Warworld Gaia’s strongest category is in “Hard Science Fiction”. This one always makes me chuckle because I don’t write hard science fiction, not even close. However, I believe I show up there because of my depiction of the military in my books. I’ve worked hard to make the Humanistic Commonwealth’s Gaia Fleet and Terrain Corps ring as true as possible. I know I’ve missed a lot, but I’m super proud of how well that’s been received.
Work on book three is moving along a bit slowly at this point. Don’t worry, that’s going to change here soon. After book two, I had to take a moment and get caught up on book work for my real life business. Launching a book takes a lot of time and effort, so I let some of that slide. Now that I have that work caught up, I can get back into my normal habits of working and writing. I have so much of this book worked out that I feel more like a plotter than a discovery writer. The writing should fly at this point. I’m not setting a deadline for myself yet, but I’m hoping for a 2024 release. Keep your fingers crossed!
That’s it for this month! Remember, you can always follow me on my various social media outlets, Twitter (X), Facebook, Instagram, mail list (on website) and Threads. Stop by my website to find direct links for each.
