Radio Silence

Date: October 3, 2015 Author: Owen R. O'Neill

It seems September vanished in a puff of orange smoke. Seriously, I can’t recall a month whizzing by like this. So what were we up to last month?

Writing, of course. Progress on Apollyon continues to be made. We’ve still been sending out new chapters to the mailing list, and will continue to do so. Another will be sent out tomorrow. (If you are interested, and haven’t sign up yet, feel free to do so!) We’d also like to extend a hearty welcome to the new people who’ve recently joined our list. We’ll endeavor to make it worth your while!

Part 1 of Apollyon (which currently runs to about 100 paperback pages) has been undergoing editing and revamping, with new chapters added. A major chunk of our time has been dedicated there.

That’s pretty much all the news that’s fit to print at the moment. We’ll be back with more updates, as they happen.

Yes, the Ninth New Chapter was Released

Date: August 11, 2015 Author: Owen R. O'Neill

The ninth new chapter of our fourth book went out last weekend to newsletter subscribers. Sign up if you haven’t to join in the fun.

Life has intervened here with another necessary foray into “Code Hell”. Thus, writing has been slow this past week, and will continue slow through the weekend. Next week, we should be back on track. At present, the draft is approaching 140,000 words.

And this site will be getting a tweak or two in the not too distant future. If there is anything you’d like to see added, sound off in the comments.

Asylum Print Edition Available

Date: March 12, 2015 Author: Owen R. O'Neill

For those of you who prefer to hold actual paper in your hands, the print edition of Asylum is available. Use the link below to get it direct from Createspace and save some money as well!

Print Edition: https://www.createspace.com/5315273

(To get $3.00 dollars off, use this code: NA5GGCRC. Good only at CreateSpace.)

We have a date!

Date: January 29, 2015 Author: Owen R. O'Neill

We have a release date for Asylum (good lord willing and the creek don’t rise): February 20th. If there are no hiccups with Amazon, the Kindle edition should be available that weekend (February 21st-22nd). The paperback version will follow within 2 or 3 weeks. (The paperback version always seems to take a while to get listed on Amazon from Createspace for some reason.)

We have decided not to deal with preordering this time around. Looking into it more closely and discussing other authors’ experiences with them, we decided it was unlikely to convey a great enough benefit this time. So we are going to revisit the issue when the fourth book is ready.

Many thanks to everyone who helped get this book into shape. Your assistance has been invaluable. What deficiencies remain are ours alone, and are probably there because we didn’t listen where we ought to have.

Enjoy Asylum and onward to Book 4!

Happy Holidays! (and a draft)

Date: December 24, 2014 Author: Owen R. O'Neill

Happy Holidays!

We hope everyone is enjoying the season!

For our part, we’d like to announce that the draft of Asylum is complete and will be sent out for review very shortly. With all the vagaries of final editing and proofreading and all that sort of nice thing, we anticipate releasing the book by the end of January (and yes, that’s 2015, for any doubters out there). 😉

Then it’s onwards and upwards to Book 4!

So have a wonderful time and we’ll back with updates as things progress!
