Hey there Rebel,
Every release day is special, but there's something that sets this one above the rest. Two things, actually.
First of all, yes, I'm incredibly proud of Weremage. I don't think I'm a perfect writer, but I do think I improve with each book. Weremage is the most recent book I've written, erego I think it's some of my best work.
I set myself a real challenge on this book. I wanted to raise the stakes. I wanted the reader to be TRULY invested in the ending. But I didn't want to "escalate" the ongoing war in Underrealm. There's only so many ways that can go, after all.
If you've read the book, you already know the solution I eventually figured out. It's one of my favorite story twists I've ever put to paper. I hope you enjoyed it as well.
So that's Weremage, and the first reason I'm happy today. CLICK HERE to read it.
And here's the second reason I'm exceptionally happy today: I have a really big announcement for you.
You've heard ALL about my big restoration project, where I went through all my Underrealm books to fix the problems inside them.
It's been a painstaking process of more than eight months. I've stared at the words in my books until I thought my eyes were going to bleed. I've slaved over almost every word.
But the grammatically brilliant among you will have noticed the tense in that paragraph. It HAS been a painstaking process.
It isn't any more. Because it's done.
The books are fixed. All of them. And they're in the final stages of getting ready for publication. There's three left to release to you, and I'm getting them published just as fast as I possibly can.
They're not all going to drop in the next forty-eight hours, or anything. But they WILL be coming to you very, very soon.
I hope you're excited. I sure am.
Take care of yourself, Rebel, and keep an eye out for next week's email. In it, I'll give you a REALLY cool story about how I developed the "look" of one of the most important uniforms in Underrealm.
Until then ...
Best Wishes,
Garrett
P.S. There's a corollary piece of good news associated with the end of the restoration project. I'm writing a NEW book.
It's called Yerrin, and it's the sixth book of the Nightblade Epic. I'm blowing through the first draft at a breakneck pace, and I've already put 30,000 words down. (I had no idea how good it would feel to be writing again.)
That's a ways off from releasing. But if you keep an eye on the P.S. each week, I'm going to give you a little blow-by-blow of how it's going-as well as some extra behind-the-scenes secrets. Stay tuned.
