And once again, I’m late in posting. I feel as though we have been running nonstop, but when I look back, we are simply running in place. Christmas came early to our house as we had to set it around family who no longer live at home. It’s funny how life changes as children move away and start their own separate lives. You would think we would have more time, but somehow it seems like less since there are so many more schedules to manage. I begin to understand why my mom said she was more busy than ever when my dad retired. However, we keep pressing on, adapting to whatever God brings to us. Praise God that He is always there to help us, or we would have fallen apart a long time ago!
We’re looking ahead to the New Year, and we have a few new, exciting things we are looking to venture into.
First, we are going to be starting up a Discord server at the beginning of the New Year. For those who don’t know, Discord is a forum app that allows both text and voice chat. There are many reasons for this move, but the biggest one is that this will allow better direct communication between us and our fans. There will be more information on this soon.
We are also looking into the feasibility of setting up our own webstore. Many of you have been asking us if you can buy signed book copies, and we really want to be able to offer this service to you. We will keep you updated on the particulars of this as we need to figure in shipping costs and see what we will need to charge. We’re hoping to offer as good of a deal as Amazon (or better!).
We have had many of you asking if we would ever make an audiobook of The Swordflower Saga. Well, we are excited to announce that the answer may soon be a “yes!” We are actively pursuing recording Elvensty for an audio release. We will keep you posted as we get further along in this process.
Finally, we have gotten a jump on writing the next series: The Watersong Saga. We are aiming for a November/December of 2025 release date for the first book: Where River And Shadows Meet. We’ll be posting some of the concept art on our new Discord server, so be sure to check it out when it becomes available.
Merry Christmas to all of you! We hope you have a blessed time with family or friends.
