Xenos and THE OTHER PROJECT

Hey everyone!

As you know, I've been working on edits for several stories that'll go into the Xenos short story collection. I know a lot of you also liked the cover (yay!). Today, I wanted to just quickly update you on Xenos and... surprise you!

Xenos first.

It's been going great. Xenos will be published on the 7th of December. The short stories included are nearly finished with their last edit. I'll of course update you once it's done, but the most important date to keep in mind is December 7th 2018! That's when Xenos comes out on KDP.

BUT that's not all.

Because it's Christmas soon I've decided to release another short story collection at the same time!

Here's the cover!

This collection is very much different from Xenos. Where Xenos focuses a lot on the unknown and scary in combination with cosmic events, Worlds of Magic is a collection of magical and gentle tales of friendships, love, and adventure.

The stories included are:

Lucy and the Magician (a sweet story featuring the tales of many lives)

Seafarer (How did the princess fall in love with the pirate queen?)

The Hungry Worlds (A girl thief trying to atone for stealing a village's most prized sword... but maybe primarily to impress a knight of the all female watch)

Into The Still Places (the prince of a far-away place trying to save not only his world but that of his enemies as well)

The Path of Lost Souls (a boy's trial by maze to survive into adulthood. This one isn't so gentle as the rest.)

Are you hyped yet? You should be. These stories are perfect to read when you're feeling lonely or sad. They're also perfect as a Christmas gift! They will be released on the same day as Xenos - 7th of December - and you can buy them on Amazon once they're out. I'll of course update with a link once it's on there!

That's all about Xenos and Worlds of Magic.

Another update (that doesn't strictly need to be discussed but will discussed anyway): I've been watching The Man in the High Castle (Amazon Prime series) for the last few weeks. At this point I'm almost done with season three and severely disappointed. The first two seasons were great. It all made sense (mostly). But with season three the writers have just failed in their mission to keep watchers hooked. The tension and excitement of the first and second seasons just isn't there. Why? Because the writers failed to raise the stakes after season two. How? I'll explain more in my post about this very topic tomorrow! It's a great case study in what NOT to do when you're writing a series.

For now, good night/day! WriteBot.
