Esrahaddon - Most Popular Book of July 2023
Now that Farilane is out of our hands (audiobook and ebook released, hardcover with the printer and waiting for it to come off the press), we turn our attention to Esrahaddon (the last book of the trilogy. For those that don't know, it's my longest work yet. Usually, I write 110,000 - 140,000 words per novel but Esrahaddon is 275,000 words long - so it'll be twice the fun, right?
Robin is going through her alpha read of the book now, and so far so good. She's noted a few little "minor tweaks but nothing earth-shattering. The plan is to have the book released next summer - so the clock is ticking.
It looks like a lot of people are excited about this one, we have more than 2,100 people on Goodreads who have shelved it. That's enough people to make it the #1 most popular book to release in July 2023 month.
And that works out to be the 69th most popular book for the entire year. Not too shabby. Now, as other books posted, we are sure to slide from those enviable spots - but if you happen to have a Goodreads account, please go here and click "want to read" and that will help us help other people find out about the book.

We'll be running a Kickstarter in February, so if you want to get copies as early as possible - you might want to consider backing it - when the time comes, of course.
I am completely on board with the excitement for this one (not that I haven't been excited about any of your books; far from it). Of all the books in the bridge series, this one I expect will the most strongly connect both of the series that bookend it, especially Riyria. Can't wait to get my hands on it!
