Under Siege Audiobook Now Available, Ground Zero Ebook on Sale, and Updates on My Current Projects!

It’s official: I am crap at making the time to post updates over here.

In all fairness, there hasn’t been much going on on this end that was worth giving you guys a heads up about, but now that things are picking up again, I figured it’s about time I start writing some updates here once more.

So let’s take this in order, shall we?

First, the quick news.

Audiobooks! After way too long in the pipeline (which was totally my fault), the audiobook for Under Siege, the fourth book in The Becoming Series, is finally, finally available for purchase through Audible and Audiobooks.com! Like I said, these audiobooks have been a long time coming, and part of that was my fault: Tantor Media, who produces my audiobooks, tends to prefer to purchase the audiobook rights in batches of three, and the reason for the holdup in getting these released was basically my slow progress—or lack thereof—when I was writing Bloodlines; they wanted to wait until I had actually finished and released the book before they picked up the audiobook rights for books four, five, and six. But now that’s behind us, and Under Siege is out now, with Redemption coming on July 1st and Bloodlines on July 22nd! So keep an eye out for upcoming news for when those two books are ready to go, too!

In addition, Ground Zero is now currently on sale until June 15th! I decided to do a little $2.99 markdown until then because, well, why not? So right now, if you’ve never dived into The Becoming Series, you can get book one AND book two for the low, low price of $2.99! With summer coming up, you definitely want to get a nice vacation read for when you’re on the plane and/or on the beach!

Now that the housekeeping is out of the way, I’ve got a little bit of updating to do on the writing front, too.

First, The Unnaturals Series: For those of you who pay attention to this sort of thing, I’ve made some adjustments to the future/planned books in the series. For starters, I’ve pulled Demon Marked from the line-up completely. The plotline that I’d originally planned for that book just isn’t going to work and isn’t meshing well with the rest of the series like I thought it would, and as a result, I felt like it would be better to rework the series as a whole. So now, Babylon Rising is the fifth book in the series, and things are finally falling into place with it. I’m a small chunk of the way into writing it, and I think it’s going to bring the series into a really interesting place by the time I’m done with it.

As for The Becoming Series, I’m also currently working on the seventh book in that series, titled Retribution. For those who read Bloodlines and saw where I left all my poor characters at the end of that one, you’ll be pleased to know that Retribution literally picks up within minutes of the end of that book and is, so far, turning into a very interesting, wild ride. I’m about 10,000 words into what I call “draft zero,” which is basically a glorified, super-detailed outline written in paragraph form, and I expect to be done with draft zero by the end of June at the latest. Then I can start building on that into the actual book itself, which will be easier on me in order to make sure I tackle ALL of the plot lines and threads that have been introduced and left dangling in Bloodlines. I think overall you all will be pleased with the results once I’m actually done with it.

In addition, I’m ALSO working on building a whole new series that I’m hopeful you guys are going to like. I don’t want to say much about it at this point, since I’m just at the titling/vague, one-line outline stages, but I’m excited about getting to play in an entirely new world that I’ve never played in before, and I think you guys are going to love it once it starts releasing. (When will that be? Don’t know. But you know I’ll keep you updated!)
