The next audiobook publishers pack

Okay everyone, I heard back from Podium and the next audiobook publishers pack (books 15 & 16) will be coming out in January. I'm going to push to see if I can get book #17, which will be the series end, to come out soon afterwards, so there won't be too long of a wait.

Just finished the first Draft

So I just finished the first draft of book 17 - No Regrets.
I have to send it to my beta readers, as well as re-read it myself. I also need to commission the cover.
Once I have it ready to go, I am planning on writing a few short stories that I'll release as well. Those will be to answer some questions and cover some things not covered in the book.

This was a tough one to write for a number of reasons, I think it took me all day to just write the last thousand words. But that's how it is sometimes I guess.

My 'Days of Future Past' Trilogy on Audible

All three of the audiobooks for 'The Days of Future Past' Trilogy have been bundled into one big audiobook (19 hours). This was written under my real name, if you haven't seen it.

So for those of you who like audiobooks and want a long one, here it is:

Just a general update

Someone reminded me that I haven't made an update in a while. Yes, I definitely need to remember to do this, it is easy to forget at times!

Book #17 is in process, it's taking a bit longer than I expected, because of the scope of things that I'm trying to make sure I tie up. I'm thinking it'll be longer than the usual installment, but we'll see. It just is incredibly difficult to wrap up the things that need to be wrapped up. I actually ended up re-reading the entire series from start and taking notes, because there are always things that get missed when I'm working (I keep several background data files for reference already).

I also need to write a few short stories, there are some side things that really need to be addressed. So I'm busy. There's also a lot that's been going on with that legal matter I'm involved in, and that's been consuming some of my time and it's not anything I can talk about.

I went to the Air Races in Reno last month (I can't believe I forgot to put an update here). It was fun and it was nice to get away for a week. I really need to start taking more than just one week off a year. Just a bad habit I got into a number of years ago that I should break. Attendance was down this year, which was very surprising, as the last few years it's been climbing.

I've also been giving a lot of thought to what I'm going to work on next, perhaps at times too much thought, but it makes it clear to me that I need a break from writing Valens for a while. Will I come back to this series? Probably. I really don't see myself doing some sort of sequel to it, I just need to think on it for a while. If the interest is there (and I suspect it will be) I see no reason for not doing it.

My goal is to get #17 out by the end of this month. I will see if I can get some shorts out before it, but if I don't, they'll definitely come out after it. I don't know if it'll be the veilverse or POI 9 next, probably veilverse. That's already like halfway done.

And feel free to ping me if I haven't posted in a while. There's been a lot of distractions in the last month!
