Broken Tomorrow

As readers of this blog, I know many of you already own a copy of Iris. But I’m sure some of you out there may want another copy, or want to buy it as a gift, or are just looking to expand your collection. For those of you who fall into any of these categories… I have news for you!

Announcing Broken Tomorrow: A Dystopian Boxset Collection. It’s nothing new from the Color of Water and Sky series, but what you get is a collection of eight full-length post-apocalyptic novels by eight different authors, including Andrew Gates’s Iris.

In addition to getting Iris by Andrew Gates, you’ll also get novels by Jill Cooper, B.R. Paulson, Susan Kaye Quinn, G.P. Ching, Steven Savile, Drew Avera and Ren Worom.

This deal will only be available starting November 11th and lasts until mid-February. I’m pretty excited about this deal and I hope a lot of sales will be made during that time.

You’re probably wondering… as an author, what do I get out of this?

Good question! For every box purchased, author royalties will be split evenly among all eight authors. This is a big deal for someone like me, as I am clearly the newest and least-proven author in the group. Not only do I see this as a great way to boost sales, but also expose myself to new readers.

Now you’re probably wondering… how did I get invited to join this deal?

Another great question! The answer: right place, right time. Originally another author was set to be a part of this. But that author dropped out last minute, leaving the group with an unforeseen vacancy that needed filling ASAP. Not wanting to waste this opportunity, I jumped at the chance.

The cover art for the set is pretty cool. If you have not clicked the Amazon link yet, you can also see this picture below (though my name has not been switched in yet):

Not only am I excited about this set coming out, but my Black Friday sale is on the way too! If you have not yet read my previous post about Iris going on sale for Black Friday, you can read about it by clicking here.

Lastly, I just want to give you all a quick update on my writing progress. Book 2 is still in progress, but I’ve just finished Chapter 14 of what I plan to be a 22 chapter book. That’s e of the book! So I’m almost there.

As always, for more news and updates, check out the official Facebook page for the Color of Water and Sky, which has recently obtained over 1,000 likes.

That’s enough updates for today. I’ve got to get back to writing!
