So Much News it's Hard to Show it All! (Patreon)

Hello everybun!

So, I have news, news, then some more news, while I'll top off with a sprinkling of additional news! It's actually a lot. I had to take notes just to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything, and I'm pretty sure I'll forget something anyway.

Let's start in more-or-less chronological order!

Dead Tired is Bursting from the Crypt!

I recently partnered with Mango Media to work on a few projects. The first of these is Dead Tired!

Dead Tired will be launching near the end of the month (no specific date because Amazon stuff) as an ebook, paperback, and on KU. This'll be my first KU launch, so I'm hoping that it goes well.

[For those of you who want to grab a copy of the pre-KU version, I'm attaching an Epub below! It's the unedited version, but it's not so different from the final!]

Summary:

In the distant past, in a time of magic and swordplay, there lived Harold, the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, Harold waged a cataclysmic war against the gods, aiming to shatter the very system that confined him.

Then, he took a nap.

An incredibly long nap that ends with a jolt, thanks to an unwitting adventurer who trips into Harold's crypt. Blinking into the torchlight, Harold finds a world he barely recognizes. No more swords and sorcery, but a universe buzzing with cultivation, celestial sects, and far too many pretentious dialogues about the path to heaven.

Harold is no naïve cultivator, he's an ancient lich with a single ambition: to slide back into his uninterrupted eternal slumber. But a cacophony of quarreling sects and smug martial artists seems determined to keep him awake.

Undeterred, our sleep-deprived overlord is ready to confront this brave new world. After all, no aspiring deity, no grandiose sect, and certainly no self-righteous martial artist is going to rob him of his beauty sleep.

No pre-orders just yet, but expect a smidge more news once it does launch!

Sporemageddon is Getting Loud... Awfully Loud for a Mushroom, Really...

The Sporemageddon audiobooks are coming around! The first of four volumes will be launching on Audible on the 15th of August! Just a month away!

I got the fantastic Savy Des-Etages to do the narration. If you want a sample of her voice, you should be able to find it on this page! She's got a really interesting accent, one that I think fits the world of Sporemageddon quite well!

Summary:

Why survive the apocalypse when you can become the apocalypse?

Nature is dying. Perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine, nature itself can play one final trump card to save itself.

Summoned to a new world, a mushroom-loving mycologist needs to grow up and grow stronger in order to accomplish the goal that brought them to this new place: to save nature from the system that the sentient races have created.

Stats, levels, classes, and skills are all well and good, but when you're a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there's little you can do to change the world. Not unless you're willing to think outside the box!

Stray Cat Strut is Back Again!

This time with Volume Four! We'll be seeing Cat and a few friends tackling a new set of challenges in this volume, narrated by the same fantastic Pavi Proczko and Hollie Jackson!

Honestly, if you enjoyed Vols 1-3, then you'll definitely like this one!

Summary

When an alien invasion threatens everyone she loves, cybernetic samurai Cat LeBlanc must upgrade her warrior skills, in this thrilling cyberpunk tale.

The megacity of New Montreal has become ground zero for the Antithesis. Having burrowed deep beneath every continent on Earth, the aliens have emerged in massive waves, destroying all sentient creatures in their path. All that’s standing in their way is the elite vanguard of cyber-samurai determined to stop humanity’s extinction at all costs.

Catherine “Cat” LeBlanc has only been a samurai for a week, tackling trials by fire as they erupt with guts, grit, and a lot of explosives. As a warrior-still-in-training, her unorthodox and spontaneous fighting style has saved many lives. Now, with New Montreal recruiting soldiers for war, Cat will be on the frontlines with fellow samurai like pyrotechnic nun Gomorrah; buggy, trigger-happy Grasshopper; and goth public relations specialist Emoscythe Mordeath Noir.

Despite her prowess in battle, Cat requires stronger armor and more powerful weapons to defeat the Antithesis’s endless hordes. She also needs to ensure her girlfriend, Lucy, and their “kittens”—the brood of orphans they’ve adopted—are safe. But protecting New Montreal and its citizens requires methods of warfare designed to quickly wipe out as many Antithesis as possible. Is the price of victory worth the potential mass destruction it will leave in its wake?

This one will be hitting the shelves on the 12th of September!

More News!

So, these are smaller things and I'll be shotgunning through them:

• Lever Action will be launching in the last quarter of the year.
• Magical Girl Crystal Genocide will also be launching in the last quarter of the year.
• The Agartha Loop Volume One will also-also be launching in the last quarter of the year.
• Cozycore has a cover!

This one won't be launching for a while. I think I want to finish it first so that I can just dump a heap of chapters out in one go. I'm only about 30 chapters deep, though, so it'll be a while!

In smaller news, Fluff Vol 3 has hit 30 chapters, and Noblebright is nearing its end and so is Spore Vol 4!

... I think that's it? My original plan was to launch 12 books in 2023, but I'm afraid that I might only manage 10. Disappointing, but what can you do!
