I just finished chapter 7 of Exploration.  I’m at around 44% now and I have to say that there have not only been some extremely interesting developments in this book, but also some really emotional moments.  I’ll also say that things are getting pretty spicy between the main characters, but I’ll leave it at that.

I’m not sure exactly when I’ll be finished with it.  The best guess I can give for a release date is some time in January.  Once I finish it I’ll have a better idea, because I usually allow a week after the story is done for proofreading and editing, so typically a week after I finish the writing, I can get it out there.  The cover is already done and it looks absolutely better than I could have possibly hoped for, so we’re all set on that front as well.

Book 1, Origins is now available on Kobo.

Book 2, The Hunt has just started shipping out to the online retailers.  I’ll post updates when it becomes available in various places.  As for now, it’s available through Amazon and Smashwords.

Book 3, Exploration is currently being developed.  As it stands right now, I’m in the middle of chapter 2.  This book has a particularly powerful opening scene.  I might post a teaser from it at some point if I can do it without revealing too much.  Explorations should be finished and available at some point in January, though I have no way of anticipating when that will be.  It’ll be done when it’s done. 🙂

Like I did for the previous book, I’ve added a progress widget to the right side of the page so you can keep up with the progress of book 3.  So far, only the first chapter is done, but let me tell you…it’s one seriously intense chapter, and I’m really happy with how it came out.

Last night I designed the cover for book 3, and I really went all out with this one.  It looks really sharp if I do say so myself.  I’m not going to pre-reveal it though other than showing it to a few friends who’ve been reading the series.

So what’s the title of book 3 going to be?

Unseen Things: Exploration

I’ve been rolling some things around in my head about where I’m going to be taking the series in book 3, and I’ve come up with a few things, which is really all I need to get started on it.  I have some other matters that need my attention at the present time, otherwise I’d have already been writing.  I’m guessing that I’ll probably begin work on it in a few days from now.

I’ve updated the Series and Trivia sections with info about The Hunt.

Unseen Things: The Hunt is now available in epub format from Smashwords, and in Kindle format from Amazon.   Both Origins and The Hunt also have pages on Goodreads.

It’s awaiting Premium distribution status at Smashwords right now, but once that’s approved it’ll be sent out to all of the same online retailers as Origins.

Synopsis:

Now that they had the ability to travel the dimensions, they also had the opportunity to rescue Jarrod Grant’s family from the troll-like Faranox and the Agaronin slave  masters, but that wasn’t going to be an easy task.

Not only did they have no experience with fighting the Agaronin, but they had never  traveled outside of their own dimension before, and as such, Derek, Jarrod, Tina and  Sarah find themselves flying blind, and everything becomes a learning experience.   Mistakes are made and lessons are learned as they have to kill as many of the Agaronin  as they can in order to secure more of of the amulets that allow them to travel to the  various dimensions.

When they get confirmation from a rescued slave that Jarrod’s family are in fact alive,  a plan is set into motion to mount a full scale assault on the Faranox village where  they’re being held, not only to rescue them, but to rescue as many of the other slaves  as possible, so they can be returned to their own families and dimensions.

Unseen Things: The Hunt is the second book in the Unseen Things series.  You’ll need to read Unseen Things: Origins before you read this book, otherwise you won’t get a lot of the references to things that happened during the first book.

I really hope you all enjoy this book, as I put a tremendous amount of work, and a whole lot of heart into it.
