Say it with me: The book is coming.
Did you feel a shiver? Me too, or maybe that was a nervous shake from fatigue.
Either way, Hammerblood is almost here, and as I have looked at its release, I lament one thing: That there is only one book. Yes, it will be part of a series of four (a tetralogy), but those books will be down the line. No cliffhangers. I swear. (My wife would give me the evil eye if there were.)
Anywho, it got me thinking, this lack of multiple books. It seemed so lonely. Should I not have something else? Something to kindle the fire of your Hammerblood-hunger? And then inspiration sparked!
And what about my Newsletter? What perks can I offer to the dedicated few? Ah...even better. A plan forms.
And it will be a bonus, a special present for the vaunted wonderful who sign up for my Newsletter, and here it is: You will get a series of short story prequels following Hestea in the early years, before the first book. New and fresh from a sheltered life, he ventures out on a noble but foolhardy quest to find fulfillment and purpose. They will be exciting, shock full of adventure, humor and character — and for those on my mailing list, you will get them FREE and you will get them EARLY.
Further details will come, but here are the basics:
-Book 1 release slotted for June (I was hoping for May), and you'll be in the know.
-Short stories will be released before the book and will be approx 10k words, 3 in total and will be released to the intrepid newsletter subscriber a week in advance of each broad release.
For those of you ready to find out what I've been cooking these seven long years, looking for a taste of adventure and epic goodness, sign on up (the form is below and it is also stationed in the sidebar). I can't wait to share what is coming up with you. And just so you know:

Great idea. I look forward to the newsletter.
