Edit 2:  Okay so even though I really wanted to release a book in 2014, one of my proofreaders came across a fairly big mistake that will take some time to fix. I'm also going through the book and polishing it one last time to make sure I'm releasing something that I'm proud of instead of something quickly. I'll make a new post only when I've published Fractured. Until then, I'll update this post with news. Edit 3:  75% done and I should finish it this weekend. Edit 4: I really hate that I have to do this but I found another plot hole that went unnoticed. Now I need to finish editing the rest of the book instead of stopping where I started the major editing two weeks ago so I can make sure things connect. I really wanted it to get this book out before classes start tomorrow, but that's starting to look unlikely because of the sheer length of this book. The good news is that I'm at 82% so it won't be too much longer.

Now that I'm on break, I've been writing at a much faster pace and Fractured is almost complete. The writing is 95% done. The editing is 90% done. The cover is finished. I should be able to release it before christmas, but sadly due to the Apple bookstore annual lockdown around this time, apple users wont see it up until after 12/29. Amazon and Barnes & Noble users should see it the same day I publish it. As always, I'll keep updating and post everywhere once Fractured is released. Happy Holidays Everyone! Edit:  So I forgot to account for the time that family takes during the holidays but I'm still planning on releasing it before the end of the year...hopefully. I just reached 150k and should be finishing it up in the next 3000 words.

So as some may know due to a couple of my author pages being linked to my twitter account, I've restarted work on Fractured and I'm now 130k words in with about 20k to go. Instead of making this pre-sequel to The Gods' Executioner Series a separate series, I've decided just to make it one long book. I'm hoping to have it released before the end of the year since I'll have some time in December to really work on it, but my classes are currently consuming all of my time. However, that doesn't mean you should lose hope since it is certainly possible thanks to the fact that I already have the cover done and that has pushed a release date back by three weeks in the past. Should I go on a three week writing binge when the semester is done and ignore my family over the holidays (which is honestly my ideal vacation) then I might even be able to make enough progress to release the first book of my new series before the new year, but that is much more doubtful. ...

I'm still working on the new book after a few setbacks, but I am taking classes this summer so I don't have much of a break. I have absolutely no clue when this book will be complete, let alone released, but I will keep the word count updated under the 'Other Books' tab. This one will probably be closer to 120k words to give you guys an estimate as to how close the book is to being done.

As some may have noticed, I've set the Fractured release date as 'On Hold'. I don't like the story as much and I feel like something is missing in it so I haven't been working on it. Instead, I've been favoring my newest story that's about a guy in college that is killed by a falling meteor and is brought back to life by his new friend that turns out to be a necromancer. I have much more material for this one, most likely because I didn't have to create a parallel world where magic exists like I did with the Fractured Series. I'm at 60,000 words in The Necromancer's Pet (tentative title) and I'm just over about halfway through where I think this book is going to end. I don't have any idea when it'll be finished since my classwork takes priority, but it will most likely be finished during summer at the latest. At the moment, I'm unsure if I will ever finish the Key of Worlds books and publish them. One thing I won't do is pu...

If you write reviews for the previous books in The Gods' Executioner Series , send me an email and I'll send you a copy of the An Imperceptible Ruse Indeed  in the format of your choosing. Already read the fifth book? Write a review for all for the books in The Gods' Executioner Series  and I'll send you an advanced copy of my newest book, Fractured,  when I'm finished with the editing. The reviews don't have to be long or very thoughtful, they just have to be in existence. Thanks!

I've decided to just release it early because I got the editing done quicker than I expected and pre-ordering eBooks is kind of stupid anyway. I uploaded it to Amazon , Barnes & Noble , and Smashwords  a few minutes ago so it will be live on those channels by tomorrow and other channels like Apple, Kobo and Sony in about a week. As always, I'll update this post and my 'Books' tab with the links when they go live.
