Luke Chmilenko I'm afraid we don't have any timeline for this next book for the foreseeable future. Bryce is focusing his efforts on his Warformed Series given it's incredible success. We are hoping to circle back to it as soon as opportunity allows, but when that might be we can't say.
Luke Chmilenko Hey! It is because Threads of Fate is exclusive to the Yonder app for a couple more months - but it will be releasing to Amazon in November!

As for the other question - I'd tell them there are plenty of other books to read, both I've written, and by other much, much more talents authors. Hopefully they can find the thicker and more colorful characters they're looking for there.
Luke Chmilenko I am looking to start on book 6 towards the end of this year if things work out! If all goes to plan after that we should hopefully see a 2025 launch as soon as I can get the audiobook side of things organized!
Luke Chmilenko The next book is coming out May 7th in audio and print! The ebook is available on the YONDER app as well as my patreon!

Luke Chmilenko Hey! Sorry for the delay here! I missed out on these questions here! For new series - I am a huge fan of everything Phil Tucker puts out! His Bastion series in particular is awesome! Lately I've also been really enjoying Beware of Chicken, Speedrunning the Multiverse, and The Stargazer's War! They are all fantastic reads!
Luke Chmilenko Hi there! It should be out later this year, likely not earlier than the summer. Once we have an idea we will definitely make an announcement!
Luke Chmilenko Hey! I am super happy to hear that you're enjoying the book and our other works! Bryce and I are working away on book 2, but it'll likely end up being early next year sometime. Unfortunately I've gone and injured my hand pretty badly last month and that's sucked out our momentum a bit - long with a few other surprises and delays we haven't accounted on.

In any case we will work to get it done first feasible moment that we can and provide a timeline as soon as we have one to share!
Luke Chmilenko Hey! I am glad that you enjoyed the story! Right now Bryce and I are jumping onto finishing the next Shattered Reigns book, then will start on the next Stormweaver book immediately after. It's a little early to say when exactly it'll be ready from there just yet. But we're hoping for a fall or winter 2021 release. Once we're a bit further through the year, we'll know better.
Luke Chmilenko They are great and also very sharp! Approach with caution.
Luke Chmilenko Hey! I'm so alive and working away on the next book! We're moving at a reasonable pace here and the pandemic hasn't really slowed too much down with regards to AsO. I'm hoping that with some luck I'll be able to have this next book out sometime late summer!
Luke Chmilenko Hah! I hardly feel like I have the time to read anymore! But when I do, I tend to binge a fair bit!

I'm afraid my recommendations for LitRPGs are among all the classics, and I'm not sure if you've read them already, but my picks would be - Awaken Online, Delvers LLC, Continue Online, Feedback Loop, and Divine Dungeon. They're all a bit different from one another but are all the foundational books of the genre.

As for the UF side of things...I've honestly dropped off reading them as a whole in favor of SciFi. If I had to shout some picks out, I'd go with the traditional Jim Butcher stuff, Simon Green, RR Virdi, the Iron Druid series, and the Hellequin Chronicles.
Luke Chmilenko I'm definitely active! And I'm happy that you're enjoying the series so far! Right now I am working hard on the next book and I'm hoping that it'll be done and out this fall. With the audiobook in early 2020. The next book is shaping up to be a monster sized book, even larger than Book 3!
Luke Chmilenko Hi Krista! I am super happy to hear that you're enjoying the series so far! At a rough guess at the moment it's too early to say how many books there will be in the main series, but I plan to have quite a few just yet, as well as other side series books as well!
Luke Chmilenko Hi Wayne! It's a bit early to say still, but I am hoping for early to mid 2019. This is shaping up to be a long book again, and I want to make sure the quality holds up in the end. I will post updates on my facebook pages once I have a firmer date in mind.
Luke Chmilenko Thanks man! I am glad that you're enjoying the series so far! :D I'm already working away on Glory to the Brave (the next book!), but it's still to early to tell when it'll be ready. I'm really hoping to get both it and a new Sci-Fi LitRPG out sometime this year, so fingers crossed!
Luke Chmilenko Are you kidding? Luke Daniels is the bomb! I hope I'm lucky enough to get him for all my published works going forward!

Largely I came up with the game system by takings bits and things from EverQuest and Dungeons and Dragons, then mushing them together until they fit!
