News and Notes - April 2026

 Hello, everybody!

May and June are shaping up to be very busy months, so I wanted to take a moment to update, remind, or inform you about a few things that might otherwise slip through the cracks:

The Nemesis Legacy

I really can't thank everyone enough for all their support of "The Nemesis Legacy" so far. Since its release in January, it's proven to be one of my fastest selling and best reviewed books, hitting #1 in the Metaphysical Science Fiction category on Amazon twice and holding a 4.5+ average rating on Goodreads.

It's been extremely fulfilling and satisfying, seeing the book embraced and enjoyed by so many readers so quickly, and I'm very excited to see what the rest of the year brings as word about it continues to spread.

The Nod/Wells Timelines - A Primer

Next, a reminder that this special-edition eBook/paperback will be available worldwide via all sorts of retailers starting on May 1st. If you've been searching for a great, inexpensive point of entry into The Timelines for yourself or a speculative-fiction reader in your life, this is a release you don't want to miss.

The Nod/Wells Timelines - Volume 2

On June 2nd, the long-awaited second omnibus edition arrives worldwide via a variety of retailers, featuring three more proven novel-length speculative-fiction juggernauts from The Timelines.

The Post Mortem Report

Ronald McGillvray and I will be getting together in June to record a brand-new episode of the podcast, which should be released by the end of June or the beginning of July.

StokerCon

A few people have asked if I'm planning to attend StokerCon in Pittsburgh this year. Sadly, the answer is most likely "no" but I appreciate folks asking and I will be sure to let everyone know if that changes.

The Nod/Wells Timelines - The Official Compendium

Work on this massive tome continues and I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am currently on schedule to have the bulk of the writing done by the end of May but that will still leave several months worth of refinement and publication production efforts to wrap up by the end of 2026 in anticipation of its release next year. At this point, I'm fairly certain that the compendium will prove to be my biggest and most intricate individual book to date, easily eclipsing even "309" in terms of size and scope, so look forward to that.

My current plan is to have pre-orders for the compendium live by the beginning of July but that may slip a bit depending on how things go in May and June.

Hey, wait a minute! Is this a newsletter?

Maybe.

Will I be doing more of them?

Maybe.

A lot of you may already know that I'm not a huge social media guy. I've always largely seen social media platforms as a means to promote my creative works and share the occasional personal insight I believe fans of them might find useful or interesting. As such, I'm always looking for ways to streamline that process, and free up more of my time to focus on other things, like writing more cool books!

Ideally, I'd like to reach a point where I only post once or twice a week, or even just a few times a month, and I suspect this sort of thing will aid that effort.

Until next time, happy reading, everybody!

The Nod/Wells Timelines - A Primer

The past six months or so have been very busy, with the standalone release of "Mr. Perkins Goes to Hell" back in October, the first Nod/Wells Timelines omnibus edition in November, "The Nemesis Legacy" launches in January, and most recently, the pre-orders for the two remaining omnibus editions going live.

Still, even with all that taken care of, I found myself wanting to address one more potential issue for readers interested in exploring the tales of The Nod/Wells Timelines.

While there have long been several great, low-cost options for doing so via Amazon, there really haven't been equivalent, or even comparable, offerings present elsewhere... until now!



 To address that, I'm pleased to present "The Nod/Wells Timelines - A Primer," which collects three of the most popular and well-regarded stories from The Timelines, and makes them available at a variety of retailers in addition to Amazon at an extremely value-oriented price.

Moreover, the standalone eBook edition of "Mr. Perkins Goes to Hell" is now available at many new stores in addition to Amazon, and still just $0.99!

Best of all, the primer will ship simultaneously as both an eBook and a 6x9" paperback, presented in the same style as the omnibus editions, which makes it a perfect point of entry for anyone who might be curious about The Timelines but not quite ready to commit to those beefier volumes, or the standalone novel-length books.

This is also a great opportunity for libraries and booksellers to test the waters and offer a high-quality Nod/Wells Timelines experience to their patrons with very little risk or cost to consider.

As a result, I'm very excited for the release of "The Nod/Wells Timelines - A Primer" on May 1st, 2026 and look forward to welcoming any and all new readers who come my way as a result of it.
