I have been getting many questions about Book V of the Survivor Diaries, Wanderers on the Winds. This makes me both immensely happy and incredibly stressed at the same time. I have heard some authors freak-out at their readers when they are asked about the release date of their next book, and to this I ask, “Are you crazy? People care about your work. Be thankful!” And I am very thankful for the inquiries, but it comes along with a dichotomy of emotions. What causes the anxiety? I want to make my readers happy and make sure you don’t forget about me—and Laura!
It is difficult to explain the process of writing, but sometimes there is another book that calls out to be written immediately and won’t be quiet until you acquiesce. That is what happened with my new book, Mechaniclism. And let me tell you, when demonic automatons creep into your cerebral cortex, you listen!
Today’s indie-authors aren’t just authors, either. To survive, we have to become graphic designers, our own literary agents, marketers, video editors (okay, I was already one of those), social media experts, and that’s just touching the surface. It’s not easy to be seen in a saturated market of eBooks and digital media. With six books almost in the can, I could be a full-time self-marketer.
And that brings me to the burning question: when will Wanderers on the Winds be released? The truth is, I can only give a ballpark answer. Broadly, it would be safest to say, “Sometime in 2016.” Specifically, well, like I said, I can’t say—BUT—I hope to have it out in the winter of 2016. Realistically, it might be out in the spring. The Tribsters are at a critical juncture in their journey, and I owe it to them not to rush through their story.
Please don’t forget about Lynn Lamb and Laura Patton! The best news for fans of the Survivor Diaries Series is I think (hope, pray on bended knee), that you are going to love Mechaniclism just as much.
