May Update (Patreon)

It's already May! Time flies when you are having fun. Or, ya know, life just happens. I got a request for an update (thanks for the reminder), and I figured now was as good as a time as any.
So, Cenotaph of Bones is done. The final two chapters post tomorrow. I'm already working on Tycoon May, the fifth book in Year of The Sword. Edits for Cenotaph will get done as they come in, (I'm very fast with edits), and then it moves to beta, line edits, and audio. Pre-orders usually post around the same time it goes to beta readers, but I have no idea what the publishing schedule looks like at the moment. My 'Pawn's Gambit' short story is submitted and approved for publication. (The first one out of all the invited authors! I'm pretty happy about it.)
Coming up in the next few weeks and months:
May- Edit Cenotaph, write Tycoon May, find out when Cenotaph comes out. Work weekends on Threads book 5.
June- Turn in Tycoon May, start Morte June, continue Threads book 5.
July- Get Paul's third Dual Cultivation book. Sign contract for publishing within the next 12 months. (Side series take a lower priority, and fill gaps in the publishing schedule.) Second short story due to Royal Guard for second compilation book. Finish Morte June. Refocus full-time on Threads book 5.
August- Pawn's Gambit comes out. Measure response to see if it will continue into a series. Turn in Threads book 5. Edit Paul's books. Start Kommodore July.
September- Turn in July, edit Threads book 6, start August. Either do Pawn's Gambit or Threads book 6 on the weekends. Dragon Con in Atlanta.
October- too far to know, but should turn in August. Sign contract for graphic novels.
November- Probable release for Threads book 5, publishing of second short story, start Bonkers September. 20Books to 50k conference in Vegas.
December- Hopefully release the first of Paul's books. Turn in September. Continue working on either Pawn or Threads. Visit extended family for the holidays. Sign contract for foreign language translations of Threads books.

And that's the rest of the year for me. That's 3 books with Paul, 2 Threads books, 6 Year of the Sword books, and 2 short stories. Considering I have only written 6 books to date, that means I will almost triple my backlog in the next seven months. I am going to have sore fingers.

Whether or not all of this happens all depends on the inevitable curveballs thrown my way, but with my wife back home I am feeling pretty good about the future. That, and I have to pick it up just to keep pace with people in the genre. They write so freaking fast! Gotta up my game.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and an even better month!
