Here’s an update of what I’ve been working on this week and what you can expect from me coming up.
This post is a bit long. You can always just skip to the bolded release dates for each book.
This week (Monday to Thursday) I focused on Gods’ Battleground (Legion of Angels #12).
My goal is to release the book in early July. The Legion of Angels special edition complete series box set is dependent on my making this goal, so I really need to make it happen.
So, yeah, wish me luck. I’ll be spending a lot of hours in my Writing Cave over these next few weeks. 😉
Gods’ Battleground: ETA July 2o24.
Today (Friday) I’m working on Leda’s Log, which will also be part of the Legion of Angels special edition set, coming out later this year.
You can expect the book to be finished before the Kickstarter ends (around October/November).
I just posted the latest chapter here. We’re up to #14 now!
I’ve plotted out the rest of the Leda’s Log book. At this point, the plan is for it to consist of five sections (mini stories). The five stories are connected.
BTW, story #1 was the adventure at Storm Castle, chapters 1-9.
I’ll spend the rest of my writing time today working on Leda’s Log.
Leda’s Log: ETA October/November 2024.
Wicked Witchcraft is a collection of Legion of Angels stories. Those of you who get my newsletter have already had a chance to read most of them.
This anthology will be part of my LoA special edition Kickstarter. I will likely add some new stories. TBD based on how much time I have and reader interest.
Like Leda’s Log, expect Wicked Witchcraft to be finished before the Kickstarter ends (around October/November).
Wicked Withcraft: ETA October/November 2024.
This weekend, I’ll be doing a final read-through of Divination & Deceit (Sorcery & Science series).
The book is finished and edited. I just like reading through my books on my e-reader one final time before publication.
Random trivia: my e-reader is the Pocketbook InkPad Color 2. I also have one of their smaller B&W readers, but my husband hijacked it. 😉
Ok, so release date… I’m still deciding on this. After some renumbering sheningans with the series, I still need to get the paperbacks updated so everything matches. That will take me a few hours of work, and the only few hours I have to spare are over weekends. Sometimes.
Divination & Deceit: ETA May/June 2024. (I’m really not sure on this one.)
Not much to say here. The ebook is all done and uploaded to the online book retailers.
And you can read a bunch of chapters from this book here.
The Knights of Gaia: June 7, 2024. It’s already up for preorder.
Ok, so what about other books?
Paragons. I’ll definitely release The Tree of Spirits (Paragons #2) this year because it’s basically done. I might release Paragons #3 too.
Sorcery & Science. I have 55k written on Book 4, so I will probably (hopefully) be able to release it this year too.
New Series. I have a lot of ideas. I’m still trying to decide which ones to write first. Lots of shiny new ideas! As soon as I get the Legion books finished and the Kickstarter project details worked out, I’ll have time for some long conversations with myself.
Wait, that sounded wrong. 😉
So many great things to come. Can’t wait for them all!
Now I just have to get it all done. 😉
This all sounds wonderful and am so looking forward to the 12th LOA book! I am wondering, if I already own Wicked Witchcraft, will it automatically update if you add more stories?
Automatically updating ebooks is a technical issue that’s unfortunately (mostly) out of my control.
A big company like Amazon CAN do it, but they usually don’t. I’ve asked, and they said it’s “bad for customer experience”. 🤷
Wicked Witchcraft isn’t available on Amazon, so this is more relevant to my other books.
When I deliver ebooks directly to readers (exclusive content such as Wicked Witchcraft), I use BookFunnel, like most authors. I don’t know if they do automatic updates. I’ll ask them.
Thanks so much for sharing your tentative schedule. We’ve a lot to look forward to and I appreciate it!
As a fan of your LoA series, may I ask if there are plans to also publish Demon’s Mark as an audiobook?
From someone still hoping for a HEA for Calli. 😉
I will eventually release everything on audiobook. This is a priority for me. In general, giving readers (and listeners) a choice of formats is something I will put more focus on going forward.
I just need to first deal with getting all the Legion books/stories finished, the related Kickstarter, and sorting out the print editions.
After that, I can put more work into the audiobooks. 🎧
And Calli’s story is coming today. 🥰 I’ll be putting up a post about it soon.
> As soon as I get the Legion books finished
Do you mean ending the Legion books in progress or ending the Legion world and moving onto a new world? If it’s the former, will we ever get anymore books on other characters from Leda’s world (like her sisters or other family members)?
Hi, Harper,
There will be more series and stories set in the Legion of Angels world coming in the future.
As for Leda’s family, there are currently several Bella stories (“Wicked Witchcraft”, “Witch’s Gambit”, “The Wand of Witchcraft”), a Zane story (“The Lost Workshop”), an Aerilyn story (“Dark Angel”), a Gin story (“Angel’s Favor”), a Tessa story (“Djinn’s Journey”), and a Calli story (“The Final Artifact”).
If there’s another character you’d like to see featured, let me know. 😊
I love your books!!! When will Demon’s Mark and Gods’ Battleground be out on Audiobooks?
Hi, Erin,
Getting all my books/series released as audio books is something I’m working on right now. 🎧
Audio books take a lot longer to produce than the ebooks (and they are pretty expensive), so this will all just take a little time to get sorted. I’ll post updates on this to my newsletter and here on this blog.
