An Update, A Recommendation, & Free Books
How it's going here at the Not-Yet Novelist
Hello Dear Readers,
It’s been a few weeks since my last post, the Epilogue to The Glaciermen, a chilling adventure set in the icy reaches of the Greenland glacial sheet. (If you haven’t read it yet for some reason, you can start here.)
UPDATE: I’m roughly 10% through the editing process for the final publishing draft of The Glaciermen, which is pretty sad considering it’s been three weeks, but in the meantime, I’ve been helping my friend frame his attic while taking on preliminary training for my new job—while also wrapping up training my replacement at my old job… while also preparing to move across the state. Needless to say, there are a lot of conflicting priorities.
RECOMMENDATION: If you haven’t read it yet and you like sci-fi, I highly recommend Pierce Brown’s Red Rising series. The books are intensely awesome, especially the first book, Red Rising, which is a combination of many favorite sci-fi elements in a way that will probably surprise you (though my one brother thought it got way better after an opening 20 pages set in a worker’s mine under the surface of Mars, but I thought it was great world building). Here’s a link to the author’s site—I don’t get a kickback by the way.
FREE BOOKS: If you’re looking for your next read, here is a plethora of free books you can choose from, available through the reputable book-sharing site, BookMotion. No account required!
Not the Normal Schedule
Thanks for reading! Unlike my normal weekly cadence while composing, I’m in the editing stage now, so I will be switching to less frequent updates (likely every few weeks) until the The Glaciermen is published and I begin work on the next one.
Keep an eye on your inbox, because once it comes out, I’m going to ask for your help with leaving some good—honest—reviews to boost me in the old Amazon algorithms.
