I’d like to thank everyone who picked up the books I published in 2023 and anything that came before. I’d also like to show my gratitude to everyone who supported me on Patreon even if you didn’t follow me to my new subscription site, <a href="https://reamstories.com/randolphlalonde">Ream</a>. Self-publishing is an odd kind of career, where I get to release books faster but often have less support from partners and more responsibility. That might sound like I’m complaining but the bright side of that outshines any negatives is that I can write whatever I like, in this style that I prefer, and the timing of release is entirely up to me. Another thing to consider, something i often forget, is that self-publishing allows me to keep the lion’s share of whatever my books earn. Otherwise, I seriously doubt that I would be able to do this full-time.</p><p>2023 may have been a turnaround year. For the first time in quite a while, I looked back and saw a book that I wasn’t as happy with as I could have been. It felt like it was cut short, and i was determined to write Samurai Squadron II as a standout novel with a more complete story even though it was the middle book of a trilogy. I’m proud of the work I did on that book and now that someone can read Samurai Squadron one and two together, I’m happy with the first one in that trilogy. One was always meant to lead directly into the second where the story would be expanded, characters that were introduced would be more significant, and there would be more fulfilment at the end.</p><p>All of that led to my “break book,” Rogue: assembly. After involving her indirectly in Samurai Squadron Part One, the itch to write a book specifically about her was becoming severe. I’m happy with what I created there, and I do think it was worth delaying Samurai Squadron III for a month so I could get it right. Samurai Squadron II and Rogue: Assembly are both being well received and I’m extremely grateful for all of the reviews and ratings that you’ve left after reading them.</p><p>The support of the community that’s grown on Facebook and on <a href="https://reamstories.com/randolphlalonde">Ream</a>, formerly Patreon, can’t be overlooked. I’ve been able to share more of my life this year and have enjoyed moments of levity as well as your assistance in 2023. There are many traditionally published authors that may have more readers and sell more books, but they don’t have the kind of active, tight community that I’m so proud to be a part of.</p><p>In the coming year, I’m going to share more of my personal journey, maintain my increased focus on writing, and start offering tips for writers who want to finish their books and begin self-publishing. With so many technical advancements becoming useful at the same time and a marketplace that is about to be flooded by low-grade content, I would like to help artists stand out and get their work seen. I’ve been proud to mentor excellent writers over the last decade, and doing so one-on-one is very rewarding. I think now is the time to offer some of my best advice to anyone who can put it to good use so I can help in a broader way and learn from the experience.</p><p>After fifteen years of self-publishing and writing full-time, I still enjoy creating and can still find excitement in discovering interesting stories, developing worlds, as well as living with characters new and old. I think I enjoy interacting with you more than ever too. My main focus will be on writing great books, and I believe that most of this year will be dedicated to Spinward Fringe because I’d like to finish Rogue’s first trilogy, Samurai Squadron III and Spinward Fringe: broadcast 21.</p><p>If all goes well I’ll be able to return to fantasy and even horror from time to time. Now that I’m involved with <a href="https://reamstories.com/randolphlalonde">Ream</a> I can also more comfortably offer short stories to my subscribers there. One or two from the old days will be popping up soon, they’re just waiting for cover treatments and a little editing love.</p><p>I believe that there’s real value and doing something yourself. That’s why I won’t be using artificial intelligence to assist with my writing other than checking spelling and simple grammar. That last bit is practically unavoidable because AI is working its way into all of the spellcheckers, but I can keep it out of the creative process. I realize that using artificial intelligence to assist me would allow me to put out more books, and I might be able to quadruple my income, but I would rather challenge myself to be creative and to tell quality stories about characters that I enjoy spending time with than cheat. There are people who don’t believe that using AI with respect to crafting novels is cheating, you are welcome to your opinion, but mine won’t be changing in the foreseeable future.</p><p>I have great optimism for 2024 with regards to my career and I’m looking forward to writing these stories for myself and for you. I hope everyone has a great year, and that you manage to ignore the people who expect 2024 to be a raging dumpster fire. I plan on concentrating on the people I love, the things that satisfy me most, and on treating people as well as I can whenever I can. Every new year brings potential, and I plan on doing my best to work and flourish with that in mind.</p><p>Tomorrow Samurai Squadron 3: Spinward Fringe broadcast 20 continues on <a href="https://reamstories.com/randolphlalonde">Ream</a>, the Patreon-like subscription site made specifically for authors and their readers. I love starting a new year with a new project, and I’ve been looking forward to this one for quite a while. There’s nothing like the ending of a trilogy, especially when it stars Remmy Sands and Minh-Chu.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div><br /></div>Randolph Lalondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05997175656842769265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507826477805958802.post-14467249224524454352023-12-05T12:23:00.002-05:002023-12-05T12:23:44.573-05:00Rogue: Assembly Will Be Released On December 14th, 2023<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYVz0Hn2rubShs5N7I2P15ENEPVY6Y_4dwj8AazSLWCiWo-BKnLHSyqVkcmJ7ky_dpkqIxw-vSVoVddIcIT9EmrUk9qYn8nrlD4GoMCaC1fLSH_60YnuPTzVGtx8lAqFe4MgOCmySW_hvUKmac9_0TYKX4J5kC5DJxuNZ_HAfXyTxjBb9GX8SK3nTOTRNh/s1080/Rogue-Assembly-final-cover--G-MEDIUM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYVz0Hn2rubShs5N7I2P15ENEPVY6Y_4dwj8AazSLWCiWo-BKnLHSyqVkcmJ7ky_dpkqIxw-vSVoVddIcIT9EmrUk9qYn8nrlD4GoMCaC1fLSH_60YnuPTzVGtx8lAqFe4MgOCmySW_hvUKmac9_0TYKX4J5kC5DJxuNZ_HAfXyTxjBb9GX8SK3nTOTRNh/s320/Rogue-Assembly-final-cover--G-MEDIUM.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><i>This is a repost from my main site. <a href="http://www.randolphlalonde.com">www.randolphlalonde.com</a></i><p></p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #777777; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Like the headline says, Rogue’s first book, set in the Spinward Fringe Universe, will be out on all major ebook sellers on December 14th.

This was originally a way for me to tell stories about gunslingers in space. As I considered what I wanted to write about in the Spinward Fringe Universe but hadn’t yet, a very long list of things and stories along with locations and events started to form. I considered my main character, Rogue, and what might challenge her, give her a chance to succeed, fail, and grow. After that I looked back at the list and picked a few things to start with, planting my main character in New Zero, a city with as much potential as Rogue.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #777777; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">Before I knew it I was writing from her perspective, inviting you in using her voice and enjoying the adventure. For people new to the Spinward Fringe Universe, Rogue is a character with a pragmatic origin.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #777777; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">During a tricky situation Alice Valent, a soldier who was trying to save allies, created a decoy using an android. The decoy had to be perfectly convincing and powerful enough to carry out an important mission, so she was created using the most advanced technology on hand. They copied Alice’s consciousness into the machine and sent it off as part of a hostage trade.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #777777; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">It worked, but while the android decoy was on its mission, something awakened, adding something unique to Alice’s consciousness that could only exist in a complex machine. Rogue was born, and Alice let her leave so she could begin a life of her own.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #777777; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">This is where Rogue starts walking along a path that will challenge her, introduce her to new friends, locations, characters that range from the familiar to new. There’s a fair dose of comedy in this adventure too because it fit really well along with the fast paced adventure at the core of the novel. The book is shorter than regular Spinward Fringe novels (and cheaper!), because they’re written like feature films or double episodes of an hour long television series. Regardless of length, there’s a very firm beginning, middle and ending that is satisfying on its own.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #777777; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">I don’t actually know if this will become a series, but I plan on repeating that pattern if it does. Whether or not there are more of these will be up to you, and I’ve planned ahead just in case there’s a demand. I may write another one or two either way, because working on this was so much fun. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.</p><p style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #777777; font-family: "Libre Baskerville", serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5em;">And now for a bonus. While I was writing this short novel (it’s about 63,000 words), a friend of mine, Patrick D Emond who is a talented composer, released a fantastic track called Migration. I must have listened to it dozens of times while writing sections of this book, so give it a listen. <a href="https://youtu.be/QrrE0HUM__0?si=ZF0fkkeVHOxVeSnd" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0a0a0a; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;">Youtube Link</a></p>Randolph Lalondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05997175656842769265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507826477805958802.post-7318060168660328402023-11-07T17:00:00.005-05:002023-11-07T17:00:52.420-05:00Rogue: Assembly<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqOdlXxdl36r6NA6G_kXmgj8AiWQlzkxnSH9EaNdh2VoBeX-iAGjNACet_6cfWssZR6-WoFpc71q_P3zQH_wnUfzc9G_t878jTnObcKLQERp1eaO_k8wqC9CTF0tUjfoDCnoJQjH6iGD4l1WstOZHinbBd4MYtcDYcUqIC9lmEQR15w54SNRVbqc290a6/s1080/Rogue-Assembly-test-cover-2A-G-Medium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqOdlXxdl36r6NA6G_kXmgj8AiWQlzkxnSH9EaNdh2VoBeX-iAGjNACet_6cfWssZR6-WoFpc71q_P3zQH_wnUfzc9G_t878jTnObcKLQERp1eaO_k8wqC9CTF0tUjfoDCnoJQjH6iGD4l1WstOZHinbBd4MYtcDYcUqIC9lmEQR15w54SNRVbqc290a6/s320/Rogue-Assembly-test-cover-2A-G-Medium.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><i>This is a repost from my new website located at <a href="http://www.randolphlalonde.com">www.randolphlalonde.com</a></i><p></p><p> Rogue emerged from the last pages of Hunters: Spinward Fringe Broadcast 16. Having said that, her premiere novella isn't just written for long-time readers. Just like The Expendable Few, Carnie's Tale, and the Chaos Core series, you don't have to read any other part of the series to jump in.</p><!-- wp:paragraph -->
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Now, more about Rogue. She's an android who was originally created as a decoy for Alice Valent, but found true sentience as she was conducting her mission. I wanted to write a few adventures for her, and I was excited to see that readers were curious about her too. A cameo was planned for the Samurai Squadron novels, but she would have distracted from the main stories too much. Instead of putting her off for a time when she could appear in the Spinward Fringe Unlimited Series, I took a good look at the character and what I had her doing in the background. I realized she was really busy, and it was exactly the right time for her to have her own novella.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Before I told anyone what I was doing, I wrote the first two chapters. I thought they were pretty good, but gave them a rest for a few days and re-wrote them. The second attempt was so much better that I went right on to finish the third chapter, and I knew this novella was on its feet.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While that was going on the opportunity to switch from Patreon to Ream Stories came up, and I decided to make Rogue: Assembly the title I would launch my new Ream Site with. I knew I really enjoyed Rogue's first novella, but I didn't have any feedback, so I did my best to edit it and launched it on Ream, asking for early feedback after a few chapters. Thankfully, the character is coming across well, and even though it's not what people expected the reception has been positive.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I hope you enjoy Rogue: Assembly too. Right now it's a Ream Stories exclusive and about half of it is already online with two chapters a week coming out until it's finished. Here's an early synopsis!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Rogue the android was never meant to last. Originally intended as a decoy for Alice Valent, Rogue surpassed her programming and left everything behind. Now she's having trouble balancing the personality she's been given with a colder, digital version of herself that's soulless and prone to violence. Looking for help will introduce her to a cyborg blood sport, crooked corporations and an inherited grudge. Will she find balance, and who will she be if she does?</p>

I'm eager to see the response for this book, which is darker in a few ways, and much longer than Samurai Squadron I: Broadcast 18. I wanted to make sure that the middle book in the Samurai Squadron Trilogy was worth reading on its own. That definitely required that the book was more robust in size and story, which suits this part of the series well as the scope of the action is growing now.</span></div><!-- wp:paragraph -->

This also marks the beginning of the Starfighter Trilogy, something I’ve been looking forward to and researching for three years.<br /><br />Here’s some of what you can expect in Samurai Squadron:<br /><br />A return to classic characters:<br />This book follows Minh-Chu as he leads Samurai Squadron in their first real missions after their return to the Triton. For the first time in over a decade, we get a real peek at his thought process as he learns about the Shattered End, the Rebel Captains, the Order of Eden’s recruitment agenda and discovers a new secret about the war.<br /><br />A squadron to rebuild:<br />The Triton has the capacity to support three full-sized space superiority squadrons, but Minh-Chu barely has enough for one. Easy, Pixie, Maid, Breaker, and several other void warriors who Minh-Chu’s recruited will have the opportunity to learn to work together, and we’ll find out if our favourite Wing Commander has the core group that he needs.<br /><br />Everyone has a plan:<br />Citadel and the Order of Eden are trying to recover after a mountain of sensitive data has leaked and an important leader has been lost. Jake Valent is acting on parts of the leak, building a strategy with many layers of contingencies just in case the new intelligence he’s acting on isn’t genuine. Alice is looking to expand her own crew and give the Rebel Captains some direction.<br /><br />The Rebel Captains are waiting:<br />The Rebel Captains have been provided with powerful ships and trust Alice, but will they sign on as real privateers and join the war against the Order, Citadel and the Edxi? Will she be able to show the Rebel Captains that they can win against the Order of Eden? How will Samurai Squadron fit in?<br /><br />I hope that gives you some idea of what to expect in Samurai Squadron. the first novel in this epic trilogy.

Clash: Spinward Fringe Broadcast 17 is
here! The release is landing early everywhere. Starting with Amazon and
Google Play on 12 / 12 / 2022, Clash will be available to everyone. The
other distribution network is slower, so the book will be released at
the other vendors (Smashwords, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Rakuten
Kobo), on 19 / 12 / 2022. I’m grateful to everyone who preordered and
thank you for picking the book up after the release, it’s been a great
launch so far.<p></p>
<p>The timing for this is unusual, but when I had the opportunity to
release it early I took it because I didn’t want this to come out so
close to the holidays. People have enough to deal with in the second
half of December, so I really wanted to have this out before you started
travelling and hosting family.</p>
<p>There’s another thing. I’ve been experimenting with Google
Auto-Narration which is, simply put, audiobooks that are narrated by an
artificial intelligence. The cost of producing these is extremely low
and the quality has just improved quite a bit. I wouldn’t call the
Auto-Narration a performance, but the reading style is acceptable now,
so I’m releasing the Audo-Narrated audiobook version of Clash along with
the ebook edition for a low price that reflects the fact that it isn’t
read by a human who is offering a performance instead of simply clear
reading with a good cadence.</p>
<p>If I could afford to pay a narrator to produce this book I would, but
I’m still five figures in the hole from producing Broadcast 0, 1 and
Psycho Electric, so I have to earn that back through audiobook sales
before I produce any more with a live narrator. There’s still a small
demand for Spinward Fringe in audiobook form, so the Auto-Narration
version will do for now, and I’d like to thank the team at Google that
is working on this. The improvements over the last year are surprising.
Oh, and if you buy this version your copy will be updated every time the
Auto-Narrator improves for free. You can check the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details?id=AQAAAEDCVAAU0M" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Clash: Spinward Fringe Broadcast 17 Audiobook out here.</a></p>

<p>I truly hope you enjoy this book in the series. I think you’ll find
that it’s a little different from the rest because it takes the time for
real character development and there is a great big pivot that changes
things for most of our favourite characters.</p>

One decision puts him on a path that will force him to confront the physical and mental wounds accumulated during his short life. Thankfully, he doesn't have to do it alone, or unarmed. An industrial grade cybernetic body may not look like much, but he can lift hover trucks and climb buildings like he's running down a city street. He dreams of looking more human, but can't afford the work, especially since he doesn't want to let go of the mechanical power and other advantages of the cybernetic body that was forced into. It would be easier to earn the right upgrades if he wasn't running from Captain Dawden, a ruthless bounty hunter whose brutality built his reputation.</span></span></span></p><div data-hook="rcv-block7" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="paragraph"></div><p class="mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-1aaa4" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: raleway, sans-serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">We join Rafe as his luck is about to improve and his life is about to change abruptly. </span></span></span></p><div data-hook="rcv-block8" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" type="paragraph"></div><p class="mm8Nw _1j-51 iWv3d _1FoOD _3M0Fe aujbK iWv3d public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr" id="viewer-13dod" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; font-family: raleway, sans-serif; font-size: var(--ricos-custom-p-font-size,unset); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; min-height: var(--ricos-custom-p-min-height,unset); outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span class="_2PHJq public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; direction: ltr; display: block; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Rafe became a cyborg when his aunt sold his body to pay her debt.

Right now <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/spinward-fringe-43896288" target="_blank">Patreon Subscribers are enjoying two new chapters a week, and they're getting the first look at this book</a>.<p></p><p>I understand not everyone likes to read their fiction in a serialized format, so the editors and I are already working to get the final, complete EBook in good shape and out as soon as possible. We're aiming for an <b>April 17</b> release date, and it looks like we'll hit it. Much of the editing work is actually finished, and I'm starting my final pass on the book.</p><p>In Spinward Fringe Broadcast 16: Hunters Admiral Jacob Valent unearths secrets about the Haven System's history as he looks for the Order of Eden forces hiding in the Cluster, a group of ninety-seven solar systems surrounding his new home star. Alice and Noah continue their adventure by attempting to make good on a promise she made at the end of Broadcast 15: Pursuit; to commit grand piracy against the Order of Eden with the cooperation of their new allies. The fight against the Order of Eden and other enemies continues as our heroes face new challenges and dire consequences. </p><p>While this has been one of the most challenging Spinward Fringe novels to write, it's also been a great deal of fun. I've enjoyed it so much that I'll be starting work on Broadcast 17 shortly.</p><p>I invite you to pre-order Spinward Fringe Broadcast 16: Hunters so you can join me and the crew on this journey. You can also look forward to an in-depth podcast to accompany the release of this book. Now, it's time for me to get back to work on the last two chapters of Broadcast 16: Hunters.</p><p><br /><a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/spinward-fringe-broadcast-16-hunters/id1540613581" target="_blank">Apple Books<br /></a><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/spinward-fringe-broadcast-16-randolph-lalonde/1138272676?ean=2940164730666" target="_blank">Barnes & Noble</a><br /><a href="https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/spinward-fringe-broadcast-16-hunters" target="_blank">Kobo</a><br /><a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1054284" target="_blank">Smashwords</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0921VH1M1/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&qid=1617842471&refinements=p_27%3ARandolph+Lalonde&s=digital-text&sr=1-1&text=Randolph+Lalonde">Amazon.com</a><br /><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0921VH1M1/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=spinward+fringe+hunters&qid=1617842599&s=digital-text&sr=1-1">Amazon.co.uk</a><br /><a href="https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Randolph_Lalonde_Hunters?id=w9InEAAAQBAJ" target="_blank">Google Play</a></p><p>RL</p><p>[There is a lot of news coming soon, so stay tuned!]</p>Randolph Lalondehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05997175656842769265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507826477805958802.post-71425497948481851812020-10-23T11:08:00.002-04:002020-10-23T11:08:19.493-04:00NEM: Awakening Will Arrive On October 31, 2020<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbC7TN-uBdOSIkY1o3FF9c451lpbFqdGEpjDRCu0lYwcV90wig0vNwgKl9XhC_OXruK3xpGpA37H1gqN4PjUmQOS4DagKD-N8FwxlV4umgjBNsJ8X5bu8xe9f5yzV-pjffq2l4XVrT7Xl0/s720/NEM-AWAKENING-COVER-Oct-2020-FInal-small.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbC7TN-uBdOSIkY1o3FF9c451lpbFqdGEpjDRCu0lYwcV90wig0vNwgKl9XhC_OXruK3xpGpA37H1gqN4PjUmQOS4DagKD-N8FwxlV4umgjBNsJ8X5bu8xe9f5yzV-pjffq2l4XVrT7Xl0/s320/NEM-AWAKENING-COVER-Oct-2020-FInal-small.jpg" /></a></div>I'm proud to announce that the first book in a new trilogy is going to come out on October 31 of this year. This was originally a project that I used to keep busy during the early days of the COVID-19 isolation period and a way for me to connect with everyone on Patreon a little more closely.<p></p><p>It grew into something more enjoyable than I expected as I offered Patreon Subscribers opportunities to make major decisions for the main character. These changed and will continue to change major events in this novel and the next. It was also a lot of fun.</p><p>After a long editing process and a little rewriting, the once serialized first book of the NEM series is about to become available to everyone. Here's the synopsis:</p><p>Grant has loved fantasy for his entire life. As a Dungeon Master he began creating a world of his own for tabletop role playing games that has grown to fill five large binders. This world is called Nem. Outside of his basement game room pursuits, he once trained for and competed in the only medieval tourney held in his home city and won. That was his greatest moment, and it was some time ago. Little does he know, Nem is real and he is uniquely qualified to save his favourite part of it. A journey involving a death cult, a budding enchanter, the Goddess of his dreams, and more awaits.</p><p>I can't go into why this book is perfect for a Halloween release because I'd be spoiling some major details, but trust me, there are parts of this book that fit the mood.

Meanwhile, Alice and Noah (Carnie), continue searching for real resistance groups and the elusive Mary Reed.</p><p>All the while a group of Order of Eden Knights, the Justicars, are looking for Alice, following a clear order given to them by their Admiral: "Bring me a Valent." In this book that takes us into the minds of the most important characters in this phase of the series, the fight for dominance over a corner of the galaxy called 'The Cluster' takes several steps forward. With the Haven System at the centre of The Cluster, the stakes couldn't be higher.</p><p>I'm happy with this novel and I hope it shows in the journeys the characters take and the care that my editors and I took to polish it.

I've doubled down on writing during this period of social distancing. I love writing, and I'm happy to use it as an escape as I write two novels at the same time.<br />
<br />
One is the latest Spinward Fringe book: Pursuit. The focus is back on futuristic exploration and adventure as characters old and new face interesting challenges.<br />
Here's the link to the index with several free chapters: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/35195847">https://www.patreon.com/posts/35195847</a><br />
<br />
<br />
The other is NEM: Awakening, an experimental fantasy novel about a man who gets sucked from our time into a fantasy world. The ways that this connects to Brightwill and Highshield are subtle, but they're there, watch for them and please give me your feedback on the overall experience if you have time.<br />

As isolating became the wise thing to do in Canada, where I'm from, and most other places across the globe, I realized I'd have some extra time on my hands. So I'm writing something new while I work on the next Spinward Fringe novel.<br /><br />
I've wanted to write a project in first person again for a couple of years, but I wanted to start with something new. At the same time I didn't want to leave a lot of the work I'd done for Brightwill and Highshield to sit idle, so I decided that I'd write NEM: Awakening.<br />
<br />
In its own way, NEM takes place in the same universe as my other fantasy novels, only it's also stitched to our reality, because it's about a man named Grant who gets pulled from our world into those fantastic places.<br />
This novel is an experiment. Partially written to entertain myself and everyone who is stuck at home for the next few weeks (or more?), but also a way for me to stretch my imagination in a new direction while excercising my first person perspective writing muscles.<br />
<br />
Since it's an experiment that's being serialized on my Patreon page, the book is open to a few interesting ideas, like giving you guys the power to choose what happens at one or more points in the story. It's not quite like choose your own adventure, but your votes will determine which path the main character takes at least twice before the whole book is posted. There are no wrong choices, but certain roads could lead to the demise of one or more likeable characters along the way. The stakes are real, or as real as they can get in fiction, and the results will make it into the final draft of the novel.<br />
<br />When the whole book has been serialized on Patreon I'll ask the ultimate question of my subscribers: Do you want more?<br /><br />
So, I'm happy to invite you to read NEM: Awakening. The first few chapters are already open to the public with many more to come. <a href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/35194741" target="_blank">Click here to go straight to the index page.</a></div>

That's right, the release date is being moved up by months, since this book was finished on time and is already in the hands of some Patreon Subscribers. They had the pleasure of reading two chapters a week as a serial until the book was completed a couple weeks ago.<br />
<br />
On March 21, 2020, the full EBook will be available everywhere quality ebooks are sold. You can already preorder the book everywhere to make sure you have a copy as soon as possible. (Except for Amazon, who will have the book on the 21st, there just isn't a way to preorder it through them).<br />
<br />
Spinward Fringe: Rebel takes the series back to its roots, offering minute by minute action while exploring what makes the characters tick. It's an action packed adventure that brings storylines, characters and enemies together in an epic conflict.<br />

I'm well on my way to finishing the rough draft of Spinward Fringe: Rebel. I decided to fully introduce a character named Dame (that's her callsign) because we'd seen Ronin flying many times before.<br />
<br />
Things have changed for Haven Fleet, and I'm happy this new character can bring a new perspective and show us what it's like for someone from another galaxy to join up so late in the game. Things are desperate for our heroes, and they're not looking better as thousands of their people are trapped, under the control of one of their greatest enemies; Wheeler.<br />
<br />
Dame has joined up because she left her home, the Lorander Corporation to find adventure and to be a hero for the right cause. Haven Fleet needs people like her, especially since she's level-headed and talented.<br />
<br />
For most of the book, which is about a massive rescue attempt, we follow her as she navigates right through the middle of one of the biggest military actions the fleet has seen. In this novel I set out to tell the story of a battle that will cost both sides and bring great change to the galaxy. This is the purpose of a just rebel, to change things for the better. Whether she's ready or not, Dame is about to become an instrument of change.<br />
<br />
I hope you'll join me for this adventure,<br />

I'm proud of the new pace of writing I've managed to hit. This is the third novel I've published in 365 days (Broadcast 12: Invasion, Savage Stars, now Broadcast 13: Warriors). Before publication these books were available through Patreon at a pace of two chapters a week for subscribers with few breaks. I think it's been a great year, and I hope to keep it up for years to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I'm happy to present all of Broadcast 13: Warriors in one ebook through all major platforms. This series is a dream project to me, even now, eleven years later. Without any further delay, here are some of the links that will take you to the book.</div>

This novel is less action oriented than Broadcast 12: Invasion, with more intrigue and a deeper dive into some of the character's personalities as they face challenging situations with potentially dire consequences. I hope you enjoy it!</div>

It took years of applying again and again, but I'm finally in the Google Play store with all my books! This is great for me because people have been asking me to publish there for years, and I hate being walled out of a big platform.<br />
You can find all my work here:<br />

This novel was serialized on Patreon from beginning to end this year, so subscribers were able to read two chapters a week. I think that improved the writing, giving every chapter more focus. If something looked like it might not be entertaining enough to stand on its own, it didn't make it in. Even less action oriented parts of the tale featured more character development, providing a real dive into one of the main character's heads. I hope to continue and evolve this style, since I think it's what a lot of readers who want to get something out of reading for fifteen minutes at a time want.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I'm happy with the work I did on this novel and am proud to put it out there so you can read it in its entirety. This one also comes with a three chapter preview for Broadcast 14: Rebel, which is already being released at a rate of two chapters a week to subscribers on my Patreon page. </div>
