Writing the second half of Broadcast 7 will probably be easier than I expected a year ago, polishing the books and getting it out there will take longer because we're working more on editing and I have a formatting partner now.<br /><br />I'm also working on the previous books, giving them a much needed polish, so there's some time that I could be spending on new material that is spoken for. That's just the way it goes when you start out with next to no resources, and find people who can help later though...<br /><br />Thanks a ton for your support, I'm glad you enjoyed The Expendable Few!<br /><br />RLRandolph Lalondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997175656842769265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507826477805958802.post-84424334473342241182012-03-19T23:22:15.216-04:002012-03-19T23:22:15.216-04:00YAY for Broadcast 7 being almost ready.

There are a lot of answers in this book, making it all the more challenging. The challenge makes it more enjoyable, especially since I'm trying to keep things very character centric all the way though, even while the Victory Machine (campiest name I've ever come up with), is being pursued and things are being rebuilt bolt by bolt.<br /><br />That brings me to my next point: Character. I'll be talking about this more in the future, but for now I can say that the books will have more self contained stories within starting with Broadcast 8. There will be an underlying line of development that continues through the series, but each book will have a specific arc as well, and each one will conclude unless a single book branches into a trilogy.<br /><br />Broadcasts 1-7 were almost like a proof of concept. Broadcast 8 is where the real fun begins because you've all played a part in proving that Spinward Fringe entertains.<br /><br />Thanks a ton, and happy holidays!Randolph Lalondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997175656842769265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507826477805958802.post-47498201579044150072010-12-13T21:29:32.611-05:002010-12-13T21:29:32.611-05:00I recommend your books to anyone willing to listen...I recommend your books to anyone willing to listen to me obsess about them. I'm one of the few readers who, every once in a while, demands an ending. I love an infinite universe where possibilities abound, but I definitely need a finite series. Still... I'm glad to know the universe will continue in some way, after Broadcast 7. Just more reasons to continue recommending you to my friends.Nicole Hannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07823756118999344328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507826477805958802.post-63874183369660927842010-12-10T22:07:49.152-05:002010-12-10T22:07:49.152-05:00Great news all around.

Once I returned home, I got the remainder of the stories and am happily on the TRITON ride now. So glad to hear there's a 7 in the works ... and a 'season 2'. Keep them coming, sleep is overrated!

The spinward fringe series was the series I have been looking for a long time. I haven't read anything quite like it in ages as I keep coming back for more. Unfortunately, the end of each broadcast means the end of sleepless nights thinking to myself, "just one more page!". I am looking forward to broadcast 7 and all future broadcasts! Thanks for all the great stories and adventures!Mikenoreply@blogger.com
