Happy New Year! (Patreon)

Welcome to 2022, everyone! By coincidence, Saturday falls on the first day of the year.
As I write this between 2021 and 2022, I find myself on other kinds of fences as well. This year gave me some reasons for cynicism, but there's also been an outpouring of enthusiasm for TWC. I'll do the best I can in 2022 and we'll see how things go.
Here's what you can expect over the coming year:
TWC4 Release: It's happening later this month! A ton of new people have gotten into the series since the last book release, so if they all take a look at the fourth book that would be good, but there are no guarantees.
TBS3 Release: The third book in The Brightest Shadow, titled The Unnecessary Victory, will be releasing at some point in 2022. Likely in the latter half of the year, depending on when I can juggle editing time and other releases. It's another big one, almost tied for longest in the series, finishing out the first trilogy.
TWC5-6 Chapters: The (mostly) finished chapters of Bondsfungi will be released right here over much of the year. In theory I will also find time to write the sixth book at some point in the year and you'll see those chapters. Title still TBD, since the sixth will be a tricky book to tackle. The fifth book should go to Amazon at some point as well.
More TWC Audiobooks: I wish I could give more info about this, but since it hasn't been a full month since the first release, I don't have sales reports (and the author dashboard is nearly worthless). But at minimum you can look forward to the second and third books narrated by Travis Baldree! Then there will be a combined version of the first three, likely paired with an ebook collection for the sake of reader convenience.
Potential Side Novels: In an ideal world, I would find time to write other things as well, but you never know how life will go.
And more? I wanted to float an idea by all of you: would you be interested in a webtoon adaptation of TWC? Do any of you use Tapas.io? This is more plausible than I thought, but I put off consideration of this last year because I want it to happen at a time when I have the focus to do it right. But please, let me know if this would interest you, either mildly or being willing to support the illustrated series.
That's what I'm planning for 2022! In the nearer term, look forward to the book release and many more chapters. Thanks for reading. ^-^
