GHOST IN THE HUNT is the first book where Caina meets her archnemesis Kalgri the Red Huntress, so you’ll definitely want to listen to this one!

audio technology
Recently I started listening to the audiobook of WINTER PREY, written by John Sandford and narrated by Richard Ferrone. It’s really good, but the book was written in 1993, and I think the audio version was recorded around 1995.
Which meant I was listening to the audiobook using technology that did not exist when the audiobook was recorded – smartphone, Bluetooth, wireless car speakers. Back in 1995, it would have been this thick bundle of like 15 CDs, and it would have been sold on those audiobook spindles that used to be in gas stations. Or on that one shelf in the back of Barnes & Noble (and Borders, back then). It really took the smartphone for audiobooks (and podcasts) to take off.
That got me thinking. My longest audiobook so far is THE GHOSTS OMNIBUS ONE, which is 39 hours long. If it was in CD format, I think that would come to around thirty-three CDs or so. That would be a thick case!
Maybe I could use that as a marketing tagline – enjoy THE GHOSTS OMNIBUS ONE! If this was in CD, it would be like 33 CDs long!

DRAGONTIARNA: DEFENDERS underway
I have started on the rough draft of DRAGONTIARNA: DEFENDERS!
Currently on Chapter 3 of 30.
I would like the book to be ready in July, but it’s probably going to slip until August.
Real Life was suppressed for most of March, April, and May, and during those months I had 13 different days where I wrote 10,000 words. But! Real Life has come roaring back with a vengeance, and I’ve got a lot of stuff to do.
So hopefully July, but possibly August.

WRAITHSHARD: MAGE & KNIGHT now available!
I am pleased to report that WRAITHSHARD: MAGE & KNIGHT is now available on Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon DE, Amazon CA, Amazon AU, and Kindle Unlimited.
I regret that it’s only on Kindle Unlimited, but May 2020 was my best month since the end of the SEVENFOLD SWORD series, and that was on the back of Kindle Unlimited page reads. So I need something (not everything) in Kindle Unlimited, and WRAITHSHARD drew the short straw. Once all five books are finished and published, I’ll start phasing them out of KU and onto the other retailers.
Meanwhile, thanks for reading, and enjoy Mazael’s latest adventure!
The Malrag hordes have invaded the Grim Marches once more, and Mazael Cravenlock must rally his knights and warriors to face the enemy.
But the necromancer Lucan Mandragon has also returned. Has he repented of his past crimes, or does he intend new evils?
Mazael doesn’t know, but he will stop anyone trying to bring fire & sword to the Grim Marches.
Including Lucan Mandragon…
