Writing Update
Hello all!
Just a brief update regarding the new release, we are well on track to getting 'A Storm on the Delta' out in February, which is fantastic.
I've tried something new this time around, and posted the cover art and some details on my website, for anybody who is interested in having a sneak peek. Once again, the very talented Keith from Keith Draws has done an amazing job on bringing this novel to life.
My next post will be on release, and while I don't have an exact date, keep you eyes peeled for the announcement next month,
Cheerio,

Writing Update
Hello there!
Well there isn't too much to update on at the moment, apart from getting closer to the release of the final novel in the Three Thrones Trilogy. With the Christmas break it's looking more an more like a February release at this stage, which isn't too bad all things considered.
The one thing I can reveal is the title of the final novel, which is 'A Storm on the Delta'. While this novel will wrap up the trilogy, obviously I've got a few more projects in the pipeline for future release.
As always, stay safe out there, I'll be back online in the new year with some more news and hopefully a firm release date,
Cheerio

Writing Update
Ahoy!
Well, it's been much of the same old thing down here in Australia, it seems there isn't too much moving this year. I suppose that's only to expected given the rough two years we've had.
Writing has progressed very well, the final installment of the Three Thrones Trilogy is getting much closer to completion. I may have been a little overconfident in my goal to have it released by the end of the year. While it's still possible, I'd hedge my bets on January next year, as things do tend to slow down around the Christmas/ New Year period. Especially after this year, I think the whole world needs a good holiday.
There isn't too much to say apart from that, I've got a couple of working titles for this third book, but I'd rather keep it close to my chest for now. I only settled 'The Lady In the Shadows' a month or so before release, so I'm a bit gun-shy about declaring anything too early.
Anyway, hooroo, my next update probably won't be until the end of the year, when I'll be revealing a release timeline and hopefully the chosen title!

Writing Update
Howdy all,
Just a quick writing update, as it's been a little while since my last post. The main reason for the delay has been pretty simple, as there isn't too much to reveal as of yet. Writing wise I'm still going steady, and the final installment of the Three Thrones Trilogy is well on the way.
My main goal is to try and have this released by the end of the year, which will be cutting it close, but that's as much of an update as I have at the moment. There are also a few other projects I am working on at the moment, but unfortunately it is at too early a stage to reveal anything yet.
I will have a bit more to say in my next update, which will be a few months away, but by then I'll have a lot more to reveal regarding my next release.

The Lady in the Shadows Release
Howdy all,
Well, once again it's time to announce the release of another novel. 'The Lady in the Shadows' is the second book in 'The Three Thrones Trilogy'. A big thank you to everybody who helped get this off the ground, so to speak.
It was a bit of a rushed announcement on this one, mainly due to a late title change, but it should be available in most areas in the coming days.
Keith at Keith Draws has once again done a fantastic job with the artwork, if you have the time, definitely check out the other designs he has on his website. Also a big thank you to the team at The Expert Editor, who put a much needed polish on these novels.
That's about it from me. Covid lockdowns have left me with plenty of time to work on my writing, and there is now a huge slate of future projects to work on. For now, my main focus will be on the final instalment of 'The Three Thrones Trilogy'.
Cheers

The Three Thrones Trilogy Update
Howdy all,
Just a short one this month. The sequel to 'The Ravage of Mateon' is nearing its final stages. It has a working title, but I am still tossing up whether that will remain upon release, so I'll announce that once decisions are made.
A brief point regarding my previous update on pricing, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I won't be expanding my distribution anytime soon. It appears there is a pit of vipers out there ready to take money from gullible authors. The good news is, that there will no longer be a price rise on printer copies for the foreseeable future.
In any case, I have quite a bit of editing to do, so I'll be back with another update next month.

Writing Update
G'Day G'Day,
A new year has kicked off, and thanks to being stuck inside for most of 2020, I've managed to finish a big chunk of writing. Those of you that have been following will know that the second book of the Three Thrones Trilogy is coming up The figurative ball is rolling in regards to release, so my updates will be a bit more frequent now.
As for an actual release date, I'll have more to say on that next month, when I can properly narrow it down.
There isn't much more to say apart from that, so it's back to writing for me.

Howdy all,
Just a brief update on how the net book is coming along. Thanks to our lockdown its full steam ahead with my writing, so in my next update (Which will probably be in the new year) I'll be ready to reveal a lot more details, including a release date.
I've learned a huge amount about the publishing side of things over these two releases, which means there are some changes coming. E-Books will remain the same, but I want to improve the quality of the paperbacks, for those of you who want to spend the extra money for the physical product. It's more important to me that these copies are as close to perfect as I can get, which means I have to change the way these are printed. Also, in doing this, these books will become available to order in at most retail bookstores, an important part of the writing industry that I'm more than willing to support. In order to make these books viable from a retailers perspective, I will have to increase the price in order to allow for their costs and margin.
While its probably not a popular decision to make, my current pricing structure was designed to make the books as affordable as possible. This will still be my aim when I set a recommended retail price. I'll have more to add to this once I determine what costs we'll be looking at. Hopefully, the price difference will be minor.
Most importantly, none of this will be changing for at around six months, if you're still looking at buying. I'm also open to your thoughts if there are any objections or suggestions.
That's it from me, it's time to crawl back into my dungeon and get back to writing.

The Ravage of Mateon Release
Howdy all,
It's been mighty chaotic down here, but 'The Ravage of Mateon' is finally out. Those with a keen eye will notice that this one was available a few weeks ago. Despite all of my planning, the old COVID-19 has thrown me a couple of curve balls.
While it may be difficult to get a hard copy during these times, I am working on a new publishing avenue that should be finalised from the next release. This should make the paperback easier to get for those that prefer it.
Once again thank you to everybody for your support.
Being the beginning of a trilogy, there are obviously more books to come. My next post will detail a bit more on the release of the second book in the 'Three Thrones Trilogy'. But for now, it's back to the dungeon to keep writing.
Cheerio,
Lochlan Webb
