Good news everyone! I talked to my publisher, Indigo River, and they gave me a firm date for the pre-order launch of Awaken the Three: May 11th!

There are a few pieces of good news here, which I’ll go into detail about.

Sale on the Kindle version of book one

Starting May 11th, we’ll be selling the Kindle version of Gift of the Shaper for 2.99, so if you’ve been waiting to get your hands on it and catch up with the story, it’ll be the perfect time.

Awaken the Three pre-purchase

At long last, book two will be released into the wild! It will be a 3 month window for pre-sale, and this is mostly so we can do things like submit the book for review so we can get those sweet quotes on the back cover, and do things like submit it for awards. The official launch will be August 11, after the 3-month pre-sale window has concluded.

Signed copies

I’ve had a lot of people ask me, and the answer is yes: I will be doing signed copies of book two! I’ve got the option for book one in my store already (click on “buy a signed copy”) and plan to do so for book two as well! I’ve got you covered! The only bottleneck is me: I order the books from my publisher, sign them, and mail them out myself. If I’m deployed, it’s a little harder to do that, but it will still happen — just be patient with me, I beg of you!

That’s all for now. I’ll be posting updates as they come to me but I wanted to share the good news as quickly as I could.
