Otherlife Awakenings: July Update
Good evening everyone,
Awakenings is moving at a great pace right now. It’s currently sitting at 68,000 words. For comparison, Nightmares was a total of 120,000 words.
Many a late night writing away in the wee hours of the morning. That and bothering people on Facebook for opinions when I hit a story snag.
Otherlife Nightmares seems to have done pretty well. By and large most people enjoy it. Admittedly it’s quite a bit darker than the first story, but what is growth without conflict? 🙂
As I continue to work at closing this trilogy I begin to consider what I shall write next. I think when the time comes I may post a chapter 1 and back of book blurb for each of the two stories and see what people’s opinions are on the matter.
Before I close, a question has come up repeatedly that I felt would be worth answering here as well.
Runner’s world isn’t over.
Just this trilogy.
I do plan on returning to that world in other stories. Both from Runner’s POV and other’s. I just felt the need to tell a different story first.
Other than that, I hope you all have a fun and safe fourth of July.
I have 2 questions if you don't mind; Will we be seeing an audiobook for Otherlife nightmares anytime soon (hopefully read by James Hays)?
My second question is probably one you gotten oodles of, what game/games did you get your inspiration from?
1: I'm working with the narrator of the first book as we speak. We're hopeful to have this moving along relatively soon 🙂
2: Everquest and Dungeons and Dragons primarily. A little bit of WoW and other things.
Honestly, alot of it is just… late night ideas and thoughts.
This is awesome news. Otherlife dream was such a pleasant suprise when I stumbled upon it. Can't wait to hear the second when it comes out. Book one is easily in my top 10 audiobooks of all time.
Considering I have played rpgs for years and played rpg (books) before that… to finally stumble upon a litrpg like this is amazing. I love the idea of bringing in the GM side from the old days. Can't wait for the third book.. As well as any stories in this world.
I'm flattered! Thanks 🙂
I admit I plan on doing more than just 1 trilogy.
