Hey all!

So, as an update, Hollow #2 is fully content complete (and clocking in at a petite 220K words).  Which means I've switched over to editing full time now.  However, I'm noticing as I work through the ending and tweak the early chapters that I'm going to need to make some changes.

Since this also affects the ending (and your reading experience), I'm going to pause the chapters for a bit -- probably a couple weeks -- and focus on editing this thing up and getting it ready to move to my editor/proofreader.  I'll be back with the final chapters once I'm a bit further along. Either that, or I'll just go ahead and release an beta copy of the full book.

Oh, and here are some cover mockups for book #2. It's coming along. Also still need a cool name for this one but not quite sure what to use. Vacay maybe?

Anyway thanks for sticking around for this madness and I hope you all have a great week!

Can't wait to read it. Im currently listening to the first one on audible. Love it. And you couldn't ask for a better narrator. I've become a huge fan of your work. It's going to be hard to pick which series is my favorite cause I love Awaken Online too.

Howdy. Marketing manager of graphic designers here. You’re not asking for it, but I got some opinions lol. Out of these options, I say go with the green base color, and try to change the design in a significant manner from the first one. That will make it easier for folks trying to find book two in the future. Also, have you considered what the progression of the design will look like as the series grows? I think your team did well with AO; with this series, it would be great to match the thoughtful elements on the front that reminded the viewer of each book’s contents. Anyways, I just finished Hollow 1. V excited to see what other ridiculousness you’ve cooked up.

Appreciate the feedback. I was actually thinking something similar. We've changed up the center image from these early drafts - and plan to evolve that image for each book while keeping the same basic design/color scheme for series continuity. Plus, we worked the rats into the background sort of like with Alfred/AO.
