A Quick Update On...

Finding Pandora(High Fantasy Series)Welcome back to my blog. Thanks for pausing to read this update. I really appreciate your interest and support.So what's changing?If you've visited my homepage today, you'll have seen the new cover for Finding Pandora (left) and may have wondered why the book number and name hasn't been included. Dig a little deeper and you'll see that books two and three have been temporarily removed from popular websites such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Kobo.I'd like to re-assure you that the other books in the series are not down permenantly. This is temporary until the fourth book in the series (Eternity) is released, at which time they will all be compiled into a full volume including all four parts of the story. The book will be called 'Finding Pandora'. The next installment of books 5-8 will be released in a second volume called 'The Resurrection of Pandora' and the final four books will be released as a third volume called 'The Rise of Pandora' at a later date.Will this change cost the reader more money?Absolutely not. The first book in the series will remain free and available independantly on all the popular distributors as an e-book, but you will need to purchase the full volume to access the other three books. If you have already downloaded book one for free and want to read on, you are not losing any money by downloading the full volume, so don't worry. You will get the first book in the paid collection, but you can then delete the free version from your device (if you choose to do so).Due to the increase in the book's size, the price of the paperback copy will go up a little (but the e-book will actually be cheaper). The content included in the books will not change much. I may just add some bonus material and a new version of the map.What will happen to the reviews for books two and three?Unfortunately, it's likely that I'll lose them. If there is any way to save those reviews I will of course do my best to save all your kind comments and star ratings. If the reviews do disappear, I'd really appreciate you re-reviewing Finding Pandora when this new volume is released if you have five minutes to spare. I'll post the date closer to the time.On a scale of 1-10 how excited are you to have the first four books out this year?Uhm, 42!? I haven't been this excited or motivated to write and publish in quite a while. Sometimes (if you're a writer you'll know) other ideas steal your attention from ongoing projects. I've had to do a lot of catching up and revising the story for this series, but it has only reminded me how much I love Arriette Monroe. This fourth book will tie up the storyline for the volume and will fill in a lot of blanks and hopefully get my readers excited about The Resurrection of Pandora.I'll take this opportunity to thank all of my loyal readers and followers for your support over the last 12 months. I couldn't have done any of this without you. Keep being awesome (and reading... that's an important one!).E. Rachael Hardcastle
