Okay, it’s only the draft that is finished and now begins the process of editing.  Oh, fun times in store with that.  I’m pretty excited to be finished with this part of the story of Jack and the group.  It was a little harder to write as the arena opened up somewhat with them landing and having to find and build a place of haven.  It was still fun to write although there were times I had to pound my head on the keyboard.

The plan is to have the editing finished and the cover finished by the 18th of this month and publish it that night.  That means is should show up on Amazon by midnight of the 19th/20th.  I also released the first two books in print to Amazon and they should be showing up within the next few days.  I received the proof copies and I have to admit they look pretty good.

I have received a few nice reviews lately and I want to thank each and every one of you for making this series a success.  Like I’ve said in previous posts, the series has far exceeded any expectations I had.  I enjoy writing the books and it thrills me that they are being enjoyed.  Thank you everyone!

Enjoy your day!

  1. Just finished Return. I thought it was the last book as I didn’t see any others for sale on Amazon I was pleased at how you ended Return and am awaiting a new one. When is it planned for release? No pushing here but bring it on! Thanks for the good read!

    1. Hi Kendall,

      I’m glad you enjoyed both this and the first book. A New World: Sanctuary is now out and available through Amazon and a few others. It will take a short time before it appears at the Sony eBook reader. I hope you are able to find it where you are shopping for the book but if not, sent me a message here or to [email protected] and I’ll send you the link to it. If you happen to get time and don’t mind leaving a review for the first two on Amazon, I would greatly appreciate it. Again, thank you for taking the time and I hope you have an absolutely amazing weekend!

  2. Hello
    Great read, really enjoyed your style of writing.
    I have enjoyed both the new world books, and I was wondering when the sanctuary will be available on iTunes books?
    Thank you

    1. Hi Tanis,

      I am not sure on the timing for the books to be out on iTunes. I submitted them some time ago for publication to the other sites but they seem to be taking their time about it. I apologize for it not being out there right now but it should be within the next couple of weeks. I am glad you enjoyed the books so far and hope you enjoy the third equally well. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by to say hi.

    1. I wish but not as yet. I’m still waiting on a final cover and some small editing to finish. It should be up by the end of this week. I hope you are having a great day!

  3. 10 books of material in your head? Great! I loved the first two New Worlds and now I cant wait for the next one. Living in Seattle it was fun to follow along with the areas that are familier to me.
    I have to admit it’s not as easy to take the trash out to the alley at night anymore…

    1. Thanks Tim and I’m happy you enjoyed them. I should have the next one out soon – hoping to at least. I think the story will be take about ten books but that may change one way or the other as each one gets written. Funny, sometimes I’ll glance over my shoulder at night after writing a scene and have to catch myself as I find myself still immersed in the story. If you wouldn’t mind leaving a review for each book on Amazon, I would truly appreciate it. Again, thanks for your nice message and I hope you have a very pleasant day!

  4. Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Thank you for your literary efforts to date, my son and I can’t wait for the next installment. He is 13 and thankfully has taken to reading we have read both books and enjoy them immensly.

    1. Hi James,

      Absolutely my pleasure and Happy Holidays to you as well! I am glad you get to share that with your son. I’m really glad to see the sharing of the story with your son and that the books can be a part of that. I know the moments of talking with my son late into the night or other times about some story or another – or this story. Great times! I hope you are having a great day!

  5. Can’t wait to read the ending! Glad to hear your done and can enjoy this soon. Hopefully more exciting things will be comming from you I really enjoy your writing. Good luck in future endevors!

    1. Thank you very much Shawnie! I’m glad you have been enjoying the series. I do have to say that this third book isn’t the ending of the series. I have about ten books worth of story in my mind although the length could change either way as it progresses. I’m also happy to hear you enjoy the writing style. If you wouldn’t mind leaving a review on Amazon for each book, that would be immensely appreciated. I hope you have a wonderful day!
