Books like Age of Death

I don't review my own books, but I do use this space to update readers. So here goes...10/19/19 - We are back from New York (we were there for the start of the recording of the audiobook. We still have at least one, and maybe two days of recording left. We are finding some very minor adjustments that we are making during the recordings, so I'm going to wait until we are done before making the ebook. But we are dangerously close to having everything locked down and sending the Kickstarter backers their ebook on the next installment.10/10/19 - The beta reader feedback is in and incorporated, and I've received the copyedits from both Linda and Laura. I'll just need a few days to accept/reject the copyedits and then we're done! Kickstarter people should receive their copies of Age of Death ebook within a week. If you missed the Kickstarter and want a "manual add" that's still possible. \ Just fill out his form, and we'll add you!\ 09/24/19 - Did you miss the Kickstarter? No worries, there is a manual way we can add you to the project, so you can still join in the fun. \ Just fill out his form, and we'll get you set up!\ 09/10/19 - The Kickstarter ended and it was a great success! • 3,120 backers (567 more than my previous best project) • $119,337 in funding ($8,471 more than my previous best project)• 2nd most-backed fiction Kickstarter of all time• 4th most-funded fiction Kickstarter of all timeFor those that missed the Kickstarter, there will be a way to participate through the BackerKit pre-order store. I'll be posting when it is live.09/09/19 - The book is essentially "done" and has gone to the copyeditors for them to work their magic. One will have it back on 10/04 the other on 10/08. It'll take me a few days to go over their changes then we can get the Kickstarter backers their copies.08/23/19 - Well, yesterday we launched the Kickstarter for Age of Death, and while I'm not surprised the project funded...I was shocked that we did so in just 25 minutes. Currently, it's raised more than $61,000 from nearly 1,700 backers. That makes it the 7th-most backed and 15-most funded fiction project of all time. We already cleared our first stretch goal, and Robin just posted a second one (all backers will receive a bonus short story: Autumn Mists). If you want to get Age of Death 3 months before the retail release, then come on by \ the Kickstarter!\ 08/06/19 - And done! Well, mostly. Some time ago, Robin had some major alpha feedback for this book, which made me take apart the engine, and for a while, it was in pieces around my garage. Well, I put it back together, turned the key, and what do you know it started! With the magnitude of the changes, Robin needed to go over it again, and she did. There was still one major area that needed work and after a surprisingly short and easy meeting (they don't always go that way) we had a plan, and so while she finished reviewing the book, I worked on some tweaks to the part she and I agreed to in our "meeting." Well, I finished them about half an hour ago, and at the same time, Robin sent me a file with her full book's review comments (of which are simple "line edit" level changes) - no more structural issues! These types of changes usually go quickly for me, and I predict we can be in beta in less than a week. We'll keep you posted.07/18/19 - Okay, with Age of Legend officially released we have seen a lot of excitement for this title. So, here are some details. #1 Pre-order pages are already up for the audio and hardcover editions. We hope to have the ebook live in the next few weeks. Official release date is 2/4/20, but we WILL be doing a Kickstarter and people who pre-order through that will get the book in October. The artwork for the cover is finished. Marc Simonetti did a great job, and I hope to be revealing the cover soon. Stay tuned!03/28/18 - Finished the post-alpha-2 edits on this book, and it should be "done" except for any minor tweaking I might find as I work on post-alpha-2 edits on the final book. What is a post-alpha-2 edit? Well, Robin gave me initial (alpha) on books #4 - #6 "back in the day," and #4 needed some pretty extensive work. That's what I had been spending the majority of my "post Age of War" time on. It was the most extensive rework of a book I've done, but it was (a) essential and (b) I'm now happy with the way that book is (and if Robin agrees it'll start getting reading for beta). Okay, so back to this book. I went over it all given the massive changes to book #4. There were some things I trimmed out that weren't working for me, but very little needed to be revamped. This book was actually in much better shape than I remembered, and if Robin is satisfied with it, It'll go over to beta shortly after Age of Legend. Oh...and we changed the title of this...again...but I think we'll be sticking with Age of Death.
