Patreon Q&A

It's been a long while since I've done a Q&A post. I'm hard at work on the second draft of Monster Island, having just finished rewriting the end of chapter 13 (see previous post) and figured this is a great time to answer some burning questions that y'all have. Let's hear'em!

Neat. Yeah, I've been debating between having longer or shorter periods of pre-orders. Longer ones are nice and let people just grab it, but some believe it detracts from the launch day. Since the goal of launch day is to get as high as possible in the rankings for visibility from Amazon. I think I'm going to do a 2-week preorder this time. I'm debating about putting it in KU immediately or not, test to see how far up in the rankings I can get.

Not really a question but something I saw another author do that i thought was neat. They released another book in the series and then the next day they released the following book for pre-order so when you got to the end of the book it had an link to the pre-order for the next book on Amazon. Even though it doesn't come out till February. Just something I thought was a cool idea for when you are writing full time with shorter gaps between books.

Writing is my main one, though that will eventually turn into a full time job. Other than that, I play Warhammer 40K and Killteam, read, and hang out with my wife/kids.

Next book we should get a bunch more interactions between Aiden and Gunther, along with the in person introduction of some Ashkhas and Topraki.

Probably not in the next book, but likely in the book after, if it goes like I think. Towards the end We should see Ma and Pa again, when we get back to Craesti City

I’m hoping to develop all of the characters more, as I get better at writing and creating people/stories

Probably not for a long while. Fixing the books are fairly easy, fixing the audio is not. Probably wait until the series is complete before trying to go back.

Do you plan on bringing any other species of people in.

What are your favorite hobbies?

Do you have any plans or ability to go back and fix errors in the audio books? I know you have gone back and fixed the kindle editions. "Example of something to fix is Vaya and Bet being introduced as cousins instead of sisters." Just curious as I'm not sure how feasible it even is.

I asked the same question about what series he was doing next a couple weeks ago and he said he was going to alternate weeks between Aether Gathering and Mana Daenons.

Hi, my main question is what is your plan on writing going forward. Are you continuing with the Aether Gatherers series or going back to the Mana Demons book (strong vote here for continuing)? If you are willing, some idea of your plans for the story arc over the next 2-3 books would be interesting

Will we see the relationships develop more between Aiden and Vaya, Jamila, Aleks, and Sam?

Will Aiden make it to next rank of nobility in the next book. Also will there some more world building with Aiden's family?
