So I’ve just gone over 400 audiobook sales.  While I’m sure there are some folks who pull this off in an afternoon, I’m super stoked at this milestone.  Next month I’ll be running a couple of promos, plus a promotion service just let me know they’re getting ready to start an audiobook-specific email list.  So, hey, maybe Aries’ Red Sky won’t be the only book I try to simultaneously release across print-ebook-audio in the first 30 days.
In other news, I am officially putting together an alternative history anthology for Chris Kennedy Publishing.  The working title is Those In Peril…, and it will be a naval-themed series of stories.  There are several authors in flux, but confirmed folks include 2018 Dragon Award Winner for Alternative History Sarah Hoyt and  2018 Best Military and Adventure Winner Kacey Ezell.  Not bad for an effort that got started like this:
Me:  “So Chris, when are you doing an alternative history anthology.”
Chris:  “When you organize it.”
Me:  “Hold my beer.”  (I think it was something more pithy than that, but you get the idea…)  Needless to say, I don’t think Chris will ever write me a blank check again.  If he does, I’ve got this great idea for an aerial warfare oriented sequel entitled To Slip the Surly Bonds
So if you’ve ever wondered what would happen if the HMS Conqueror did not sink the General Belgrano (thus putting the fear of Davy Jones in the Argentinean Navy), what it’d be like to have psychics aboard search and rescue sea planes during World War II, or what an amphibious assault on Norway during World War III would look like, have we got a deal for you in the 1st QTR of 2019.
Last but not least, I’ll be at the Great Plains Renaissance Festival in the Author’s Tent at the end of the month.  If you’re in the area, feel free to swing by and catch a great festival plus buy some books from myself and several other great KS authors.  The next convention I will be at will be Archon in Collinsville, IL from 12-14 October, followed by Air Capital in Wichita, KS in November.
