Update

I'm still behind my preferred schedule, but still expect the full ARC ebook this month. I'm late on getting the manuscript to Royal Guard for audio, but have to finish it this month for them.

Preview chapters of Goblin Gigs will start in September - one to two drops a month, not twice a week, at least to start. :)

Later today or tomorrow, I'll be putting up a poll here of the extra/pov scenes I have on my list for you to vote on the next one(s). I'll probably just go in order of which gets the most vote, with an option to put ideas in the comments, too, and count likes as votes for the final list.

I've expanded my plotting to be Warlock 4, 5, and 6, rather than just 4. These first three were supposed to be one book, after all, and are now at over 400k words -- probably won't hit half a million before I finish revisions, but that's still quite a bit. So, since the first year and its arcs hit three books, I think it'll be more cohesive to plot out the full next "year" and be able to follow the full timeline.

Very, maybe, tentative, wild-ass guess on when Warlock 4 previews will start ... Q1 of next year. The writing process is likely to be much like the first three, where I'm writing scenes that will be distributed throughout the whole timeline, so the final schedule will be up in the air until I have a good handle on the full story.

So:

So I think that's the best information I can give you right now about what to expect and help inform your decisions about the Patreon. I know some of you are just here for the Warlock previews, and that's cool - just go down to the free tier, rather than fully cancelling, so you still get notifications and stuff, because all of the above is tentative and some things could come in early. I wouldn't expect that, necessarily, but it's always possible.

I want to express my gratitude to all of you again for your support and enthusiasm about Warlock - it still astounds me and I try to think about how lucky I've been, and grateful I am, for this last year.

See you later with that poll. :)

just a reminder: After council meeting Noah reiterates his phone is still missing. Prior to the council meeting he checks his phone for the time or alarm.

I'm not the only one avid for the Audible release! Please plan to release Audible ASAP. One suggestion is to have Royal work in parallel, with Patreon updates including the Audio. Yes, this complicates rewrites but also advertises the Audible, hopefully increasing sales. If Patreon can't do Audio now, maybe a push for further development. Also, try pushing for epub3 as it combines text and audio in a single file AND includes encryption and DRM as options. As a standard format, it would be compatible with multiple reader/players.
