Announcement + QnA + Title Change

I've been holding onto this for a while.

So I’ve hinted at it several times, and outright said it once or twice, but today’s chapter marks the end of Monarch Book 2. Book 2 you ask, what happened to Monarch Book 1?

Monarch, A Progression Fantasy Series

Book 1: Covers everything from Ignis I to the end of Enclave.

A highly edited version is now up for pre-order on Amazon and the series is signed through Aethon for three books. Obviously pre-order and give me money if you want, but if you want to wait, it will be up on Kindle Unlimited at release. An Audiobook Version narrated by the unbelievably talented Luke Daniels should go up simultaneously, so if you want to hear some of Cairn’s rants and speeches rather than read them, keep an eye out for that. I know I’m excited to hear Luke go crazy with the material.

Because it’s going up on KU, I will have to take those chapters down sometime late March, so early warning that’s coming in around a month.

So what does this mean for the average RR reader? Not much, really. Other than the fact that Monarch is basically guaranteed to continue, as it’s signed, I’ll still be uploading chapters here on RR as we go.

I quit my job six months ago to work on writing full-time. I’ve been working on Monarch for more than a year, even during the hiatuses. So, I’m taking short break from actively posting chapters to outline and plan Monarch Book III. It’s going to be a big story, but also a deeply personal one for Cairn, with a lot of plot points from book I and II coming to a head in a new setting. So I want to get it right.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting me through one of the craziest periods of my life.

If you want to check on something I’ll be working on for fun in the meantime:

Double-Blind here on RR.

Modern apocalypse LITRPG story with my tone/voice and some extra sass on the side. Squid Game/Code Geass/Solo-leveling influence. And of course, all the character work you’re used to. It's been a lot of fun being able to make modern references and taking a poke at the LITRPG genre

Happy to answer any questions you have. May take me a minute, but I’ll get to them all.

Monarch will return.
