Hi, all!

I've had a lot going these past few weeks. As as result of some unwanted drama, I've had to rearrange my publishing schedule. Here's the quick version.

The "drama" involves a voice actor on one of the audiobook projects misbehaving (violating contracts with my publisher and a bunch of other companies/organizations), which has landed in a big hot mess on my already-overflowing plate. To secure the future of all audiobooks in that series, I am now prioritizing writing the remaining books in the Paragons series, so we can get all that recorded asap before something else happens.

The Paragons series will be 6 books. 3 books are done. The remaining 3 books are all outlined in detail and in various stages of writing. Unfortunately, this means Diamond Dragon, the next Phoenix Dynasty book and what was supposed to be my next release, has to be pushed back.

Once the final 3 Paragons books are done (hopefully in the next few months), I can write the audiobook scripts for them. Then they can be recorded, edited, and released as audiobooks. I'm likely holding off on releasing the audiobooks until we at least have all the actors' parts recorded for all books in the series in order to ensure consistency. No one wants us to have to change any of the actors mid-series because of shenanigans. Lately, it feels like shenanigans are growing like weeds all around me.

Once I've finished writing the remaining Paragons books, I will go back to Phoenix Dynasty. I will then prioritize writing all the Phoenix Dynasty books because the first audiobooks in the series are also in production. There hasn't been much audiobook craziness in that series (unlike poor Paragons, which has seen nothing but drama since the project began), but after all that's happened, I'm paranoid something will come up.

The Legion of Angels and Immortal Legacy audiobook projects (both complete series) are for the most part unaffected by all of this, except a slight delay in LoA since I don't have as much time to work on the scripts at the moment.

Speaking of Immortal Legacy, I'll try to post the third new story this weekend, so keep an eye out for that. 

Happy Halloween and have a great weekend!
