Dancing as Fast as I Can
I just submitted the third book of the Eternal Journey, Labyrinth to Tartarus, to Amazon so it'll be ready for its preorder. That makes it fourth book this year, with one more book to be released in November.
LitRPG has been good to me so far. Sales blew the second Warp Marine series out of the water (the first novel of the fantasy series has outsold all three books of the Bicentennial War combined). After two years of declining sales, it is good to connect with a new audience.
The best thing about the genre is that I can write it quickly. An unfortunate reality of the current indie market is that slow authors risk being forgotten by readers.
I've been able to sustain a 45-60 day release schedule so far, and the continued interest and sales have made the long writing, editing, and promoting hours worth it. 2020 is going to be my best year since 2017.
Future Plans: Besides the Eternal Journey, I'm working on a spin-off series set in the same world of Eternal Journey. I'm also beginning to sketch a new setting that combines elements of mil-sf, cyberpunk and litrpg. Sort of a Ready Player One meets The Running Man sort of deal. We'll see.
As always, thanks to everyone who has supported me on this journey. I'll do my best to continue to entertain you.
