The Archemi #6 manuscript is currently sitting at 57,597 words. Most of that was done over the last couple weeks. There’s only 17,500 words to the halfway mark of the book, which is when I will put the pre-order up for sale. That translates to about 10 days of work at my current pace.
I’m hopeful for a late September or early October release in ebook and paperback. My goal is to finish the full 150,000 word draft by end of August.
Once I hit that 75,000 word milestone, I’ll be pausing my focus on wordcount to edit and improve the first half half of the book, then part 1 of Crowned in Black will go to beta-readers and Patreon subscribers for feedback before I really commit to the second half.
If everything goes to plan and the book is drafted by end of August, I’ll edit the first half of the book a second time, and send it to Soundbooth so the awesome crew there can get started on the preliminaries, then edit the second half and forward it a couple weeks after that. The audio won’t be out at the same time as the book, but we try to close that production gap whenever possible.
The cover is freaking awesome.
Just found this series on audible and power-listened over the last couple of weeks. Super looking forward to book 6. Are there any new updates?
Sorry for the delay in replying. Book 6 is now available in eBook, and Soundbooth have it lined up for audio production in the first quarter of 2023. The paperback should be live tomorrow (Dec 18).
Can’t seem to find the actual book in paperback or hardcopy format. Is there an expected timeframe of when it will be available?
Crowned in Black paperback should be live in the store tomorrow 🙂
I can’t find Book 6 in physical book form, only in Kindle. Is book 6 in physical book form and how can I buy it?
Should be live in the store by tomorrow. I got laid up with covid AND flu, and it was delayed.
Is there a place for any artwork based off your book series? It is amazing by the way really big fan!
I have really enjoyed this audio series and I can’t wait until the 6th book comes out in audiobook. One of the things that drew me in was the music I mean that was just unbelievable it’s just threw me right in. And combine that with the story dang that’s one good book
Thank you so much! Passed this comment on to Justin <3
Any updates on book 6 on Audible?
