I've been bad.

Why? I haven't done a good job of communicating what's going on with me.

Historically, I've just been terrible at it because:

1. I move at the speed of light (seriously) and if I forget to share it right away, it becomes old news.
2. I'm an introvert and not used to talking about myself.

But a reader took me to task over this recently, and it made me think about it and how I can let you guys know what's up with me.

I'll be doing a once-a-month author update article that will get you up-to-speed with what I'm doing.

I'll also be doing a separate, once-a-month blog article that will give you a sample chapter from an upcoming work, a glimpse into a new novel I'm researching, depending on what I'm working on and where I am in the process.

Moving forward, you can expect to hear from me on this blog about 1-2 times a month, around the middle and end of the month.

WRITING NEWS

I'm working on Horizon Down, Book 9 in the Galaxy Mavericks series. It'll be the final one. Kind of bittersweet to finish this series, but it's one of my best. Check out the covers for Books 8 & 9.

OTHER NEWS

 

I upgraded my website. It's a lot more user-friendly and much faster now. A couple things to check out if you haven't seen them yet:

• $1 Series Starters—a great intro to my work at an awesome price
• Audiobook page—check them out if you're looking for something to listen to on your next commute.

I started a new podcast. I have joined the Alliance of Independent Authors (Alli), and I am co-hosting the AskAlli Beginners' Self-Publishing Salon, where I give advice to newer authors who are just starting on their journey.

The podcast is part of Alli's podcast network, and the other hosts are all movers & shakers. Very humbled to be part of the crew.

I did an author interview. Learn more about me, how I write my books, and how I manage to write 5-7 books per year with a full-time job and a child: https://selfpublishingadvice.org/sunday-self-publishing-success-story-michael-la-ronn/

I am starting law school next month. It's not writing news, but it's going to be a big life change for me. So I'll be talking about that, too.

 

NEW BOOKS COMING

 

• My first book, How to Be Bad, is being rebranded with a new cover and title. Look for it next month's update.
• My next series will be LitRPG. If you've never heard of LitRPG, basically, it's a story that takes place inside a video game. I won't say too much about right now other than that I'll be reimagining my existing Eaten series into this genre. It'll be awesome, I promise.

AND FINALLY…

 

See, I wasn't kidding about having lots of news, was I?

I've also revamped my Patreon page for anyone who wants to check it out. I would love any and all support.

Talk to you next month!
