Age of Myth is a Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for fantasy!! I'm so honored, especially with the amazing group I'm included with. Here's the 15 novels in round 1:I'm not going to campaign for a vote for my title, but please do checkout the whole list of nominated books and vote for the one you think should win. There's already been more than 1,000,000 votes cast!- Well it's been just over three months and the release has gone very well. Between ebook, print and audio more than 47,000 copies have been sold - that's a much faster debut than any of my other novels so I'm really quite happy about that. I should note that print "sales" are books that left the warehouse and may not have sold through to consumers, but I'm watching the "returns" and they have been very small so far.But the really exciting thing is the reviews and how positive they have been. Right now between Amazon US, Audible, and Goodreads there have been 6,700 reviews and the breakdown is: 90.4% rated a 4 or 5 | 7.4% at a 3 | 1.7% 1 or 2. But the most exciting thing is the number of comments I've seen about people reading me for the first time and now are delving into Riyria. That's always the hope, of course, but glad to see it's turning out to be true.- Well the book is finally out. I started it in February 2013 so it's been a long time in the making. I'm really pleased with how the first few days have gone. Sales have been brisk (can tell because my position on Amazon's Top 100 Fantasy Authors improved significantly. I usually hang out around 50 - 100, and I got as high as 8 and am now in the teens. Audible featured Age of Myth of their home page - that's an AMAZING vote of confidence in the title. Given how many books are vying for that position I'm pretty proud they feel strongly enough about AoM to give it that prime real estate. Let's see what else. Oh, AoM made Goodreads' Most Popular Books of the Summer list. There are only 21 selected (3 from my genre) so nice to make it on that. B&N featured it in their weekly release post, gave a nice quote, too. And Fantasy Book Critic has it listed as a "Noteworthy Release." Can't complain about any of these things, early reviews seem positive. Hoping the book is a big success, I don't want to let down my readers, publisher, or others in the industry who are doing and saying such nice things on its behalf.- My publisher (Del Rey), and I have teamed together to offer a number of perks for people who pre-order You can sign up here if you pre-ordered an audio, ebook, or print edition before June 28th you are eligible to receive:* First Five Chapters to read now* Access to a high-resolution map* Character Profiles* Wall paper with Marc Simonetta's artwork* 7 free short stories* Author Q&A* Signed bookmarks & book plates (Free to US, optional small shipping fee for overseas)Argh!! I found out I had two reviews going with updates in both so I attempted to merge them. In doing so I lost a whole bunch of updates - more than a years worth!! Oh well. Here's the current update. I'm currently listening to the full recording for the audio book to proof it. Yes, you can all be jealous that I get to hear Tim's wonderful narration 2 months ahead of time. A perk of being the author! ;-)Four chapters to go in #5 - Probably 10,000 - 15,000 words and I'll be done. Both betas have finished up on book #1. A few changes, but not too bad. We're getting there!I'm about 80% through book #5 which has to be finished as a pre-requisite of releasing the first book. The second beta read is over, and Robin has input compiled and waiting for me. But the most exciting news is....It's officially announced that the books will be released by Random House's Del Rey imprint and as I mentioned in the last update the first book is scheduled for the Summer of 2016. Now, I know that sounds like along time, but that means I'll have a runway to get a Riyria Chronicles book out this year.I'm about 50% through book #5 which has to be finished as a pre-requisite of releasing the first book. I already have a few minor changes based on that book - but they are minor and will be easy to implement.We have selected a publisher and hope to make an "official announcement" soon. I couldn't be happier about this, and they are as excited as I am about the project (always a good thing). Tentative release date is Summer 2016, which is reasonable since they don't have the "official manuscript yet.The second beta is winding to a close. It went very well...definitely fewer changes than during the first beta, and again easy to implement. So once I get done with book #5 (still hoping for April - May 2015) I'll be starting the changes and hope to have an "official" version to them - whereby their editing will start, fairly soon.The book was written from mid February to mid July 2013. Since that time I've finished the next three books in books in the series, and I hope to finish the last book by April or May 2015.The book went through it's first beta in December 2014, and it's going through another right now in January. It's also been submitted to publishers.I know a lot of people are waiting for this series, and I plan on rolling it out with some cool stuff (bookmarks, signed postcards, bookplates, etc) So if you are interested in any pre-release perks or would like to be a beta reader here is a form where you can sign up for such things Also I'll update progress here as time goes on.
