Atlantia Available Now in All Formats! + New Project: Audiobook!!

Atlantia is now available in both print and digital formats on Amazon! I am excited to have this book as part of my ever-growing portfolio. Although I don’t expect it to do as well as my other books (it is definitely more niche than anything else I’ve written – being a short story collection for another series and sequel to a spin-off), but just having another book out there as part of my offerings is always helpful. Plus, the cover art is pretty snazzy!


I expect that if this book does sell, it will sell to people who are already familiar with the Color of Water and Sky series and are simply interested to read more. I would be surprised if this is able to pick up new fans from the start, although that is certainly possible.


To help make it a bit more appealing, I’ve priced the book at $0.99 for its regular price. This weekend from August 28th to 30th, the book will be FREE to download as part of a special promotion.


So… what is next, you may wonder?


Now, I will turn my eyes to my first audio-book. The fastest growing medium of books, audio-books are exploding in popularity. Frankly, this is the way I experience most books too. Therefore, it has been long overdue for me to break into this world.


There are many upfront costs associated with audio-books, from recording hardware, to software, to voice actors. So that is why, to help mitigate the costs associated with the production, I have decided to select just one short story from the Atlantia collection to be my first audio-book rather than a full-length novel.


Descent, the second story featured in Atlantia (and my personal favorite), will serve as my first ever audio-book production. I’ve hired voice actress Lauren Henry to narrate the piece, which cones in under 10,000 words. I am extremely excited to hear the final product and to enter the world of audio-books.


Lauren Henry’s work is set to be complete at the start of September, so if all goes well, the Descent audio-book should be out sometime before October.


In addition to being my personal favorite of the stories in the collection, I feel like Descent is a great story to include because it acts as a singular self-contained story, as well as prequel to the main series. So hopefully it will bring in new readers and point them to the main series.


I am really excited to see this audio-book come to fruition. I hope it will serve as an entry point for a whole new audience.


That’s all for today! Thanks for reading!
