There is a possibility someone was reading the chapters of Within a Name I had been posting here on a semi-regular basis, only to check in a few weeks ago to see that not only was there no new chapters up, but 4-6 were now missing entirely.
Well, there is a reason for that, and I suppose my only excuses for taking this long to tell you is that one, I’ve been alternatingly sick and busy with other projects. That sounds intolerably lame, so more importantly, two, I was reasonably sure that nobody outside of a few people I know in real life was reading it.
So here it is.
Within a Name was picked up to be published along with The Kalis Experiments and the other two upcoming volumes of the Tides Trilogy by Next Chapter/Creativia Publishing. The Prologue and first two chapters of The Kalis Experiments can be found on this site too, but I’d never actually planned on posting more of that. Just a teaser of a book I hoped to get published. I never considered Within a Name to be particularly publishable since I wrote it in three days and it’s far too short to be a novel at 25k-ish words. But, when I told Next Chapter it took place in the same world as The Kalis Experiments, they were interested, and now here we are.
Unfortunately, there’s no slated release date for Within a Name, but it is coming, I promise. The Kalis Experiments is coming out on August 26, 2019. The e-book (and soon paperback) is already available for preorder at the link at the bottom of this page.
I intend to write up some details about the world of Eris and the city of Fom in future posts, as soon as I can pull myself away from furiously editing Book Two of Tides, The Black Wall.
So, on the off chance you were enjoying Within a Name, sorry about that. It looks like the whole thing won’t end up here after all.
In the meantime, feel free to check out The Kalis Experiments Here:
