Release Timing + Cover Reveal
🕑 Added 2025-08-16 17:00:11 +0000 UTCWith Crimsoncrest done, we are now looking toward two major dates:
1) The release of this book on Amazon.
2) Beginning chapters of the next book here.
#2 is largely under my control and just requires me to finish writing the next book and edit it to the point where I'm comfortable posting. More on that later in the month. The timing is not contingent on the other date.
#1 is a more complex process. The biggest obstacle is that the cover for the book is still WIP*, but I also need to choose a good release window based on overall factors. For a while I was trying to figure out extra release promotion, but I don't think I have that in me this time. In the future I will try to coordinate a big AMA or a book sale, but that would likely just delay the release of this book.
*Or so I wrote when I scheduled this post, only for a new draft to come in just before posting! Please see above for what may be the final art for the cover of Crimsoncrest. I'm basically happy with the design, but this is the last opportunity to request changes. The text will be changed prior to release, otherwise I have no notes.
So yes, please look forward to bonus content (like blueprints) as well as updates on both of these subjects. Thanks for your support!

I specifically showed the artist the previous cover and we tried to choose a different color palette despite the red element! With a long series there will be a little overlap, but I hope to keep them mostly distinct.

I was kinda concerned that this cover might look too similar to Bloodcrete's, bc I could guess they'd both be red jewel-like objects. I compared them and they're different enough I guess. --Froyobaggin's wife.

looks really good! (not an issue but I'm a bit surprised to not see the flowers on the cover since they're kinda a big deal for the main characters.)
