Week 46 of 2026
Greetings all!
It’s release week, and boy what a release week it’s already been! The Shattering of Spears has already gotten 3 Orange Tags on Amazon for best new release just from the pre-orders. That’s pretty darn cool and I have a pic to prove it happened!
The official release, as I said, is tomorrow. You can order your copy here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HQD59N31.
I’m excited about the Orange Tags, in part because I’m excited about this book. I think it’s a rollicking good story and I’m excited the folks at Raconteur agree. In fact, I had Janet Spaulding, who helped edit it, and Nick Nethery, who might have been the first person besides me to read it, on the podcast this week to talk about it.
Thanks to all who joined in!!!
This week I’ve been focused on the release, and to be honest, I’m always a bit slow on the writing the week after finishing a book. Nevertheless, I’m about 2500 into the next book, which I’m tentatively calling The Building of Hope, but I’m almost positive I’ll change it eventually. I’ve also been laying out chapters and scribbling ideas.
The Italy Trip pictures are coming along. We’re past the Country Heritage Tour portion. There are still almost 2 weeks of photo drops left, though. I took a lot of pics!
But that’s about it for this week. Tomorrow’s the big release day so I hope you’ll be celebrating with me!
And take a look at this week’s show to get more info on the book!
