Wow... What a launch week! Thank you to everyone!

Hey Everyone!

It's been a crazy 7 days since UL1 book 5 hit Amazon on the first! I just wanted to say thank you again for all the support! Never in my wildest imagination would I have imagined my story hitting #38 over ALL of Amazon for Kindle books!

We'll ignore that I had strep this week at the start (My mom was kind enough to share...), this made it a great seven days!

Production wise, I'm doing well, managing to get words and all written. 70k+ into book 7 of UL1 and now that I'm healthy and we're winding down soon on football games in the coming weeks, I hope my writing life returns a little more to normal.

Someone asked how much this season affected my writing speed. Typically I do 120k+ words a month. A good month is 150k+ and an excellent month is 200k+ (3 months this year were that).

Last month was 90k. Which tells you just how busy life was to take a 3rd of my base line productivity away.

Still, I feel great and am loving every chance I get to write.

Let me know your thoughts on book 6 so far of UL1.

Viking Fans -

I'm still planning on getting back to it once time/life allows. It's just the timing and losing a 3rd of my writing time or more.

Dragon Rider Fans -

A few of you sent messages asking about books 4/5. Podium actually reached out last month or in September asking if I would be interested in writing those next 2 books (Enslaved dragons). I've got soft plot plans, its a goal, but right now it all comes down to time.

Time Loop Fans -

I had an editor look over the 25ish chapters I wrote to get a handle on them for now. Goal in December is to start adding a chapter or two a week as my publisher really would like to see it finished and ready to put out on RR sometime early next year.

Beta Reading for others - 

For those who like beta reading other stories from other authors, let me know (post here). I try to pick and choose but am always open to give you all a little something extra to read and get some feedback on their stuff.

Thanks again! I am waiting on my book 5 of UL1 to come in (Paperback) and then will do a few give aways!

Wow... What a launch week! Thank you to everyone!

Congrats! You're doing a great job. Thanks for your hard work and diligence despite the obstacles that come up. I'd love to see more of the beta reads. I think it's a really cool thing that you do and it exposes us to knew authors I wouldn't have found otherwise.
