I am going to post the link to the raffle once it is live tomorrow afternoon, but I wanted everyone to know it was going on. I plan on giving away 3 copies of Eradication and The Hatchery Compound, a cool 5 in 1 survival tool, 5 military can openers, a 19 in 1 multitool, some water purification tablets, and a magnesium fire starter. I am also planning on teaming up with Survivalogic to give away some of their Conflicted card games, and possibly other gear, more info on that tomorrow.

Anyway, check in tomorrow for the links to the raffle. You can do a bunch of different things to enter the raffle, and one of them is leaving a blog comment on tomorrow's post! So check back tomorrow for more info.

Apocalyptic Empire: Eradication Live on Amazon and Smashwords

The wait is finally over! You can pickup a copy of Apocalyptic Empire: Eradication now over at Amazon and at Smashwords. The print copy from Createspace is still processing but should be done tomorrow. Smashwords will also get it uploaded to Apple books, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, etc. in the next few days. I am also waiting on Google Play to process as well. So come next week, you can grab a copy wherever you read!

I have been speaking with my guy over at Survival Logics and we are going to jointly host the raffle next week. I have some really cool items planned to give away as well as some signed paperback copies of both books. Check back in this weekend after I have a few seconds to breathe for more info!

Thanks for checking in again.

Apocalyptic Empire: Eradication Release Date

It's official. I am going to give a release date! Well more of a release guideline! It's going to be this weekend!

It has taken a little bit longer to finish book two, because we wanted to do it right. Apocalyptic Empire: The Hatchery Compound was released way to prematurely on my part. It was riddled with grammar issues and all sorts of goodies. Thankfully I met Abigail my editor and she has helped get me in line.

This time around I made sure we did things right and we have gone over the book page by page multiple times.

Besides the editing, the story itself should be much better and much more exciting. I incorporated a lot of positive and negative feedback when writing Eradication, and I really feel like it will be more enjoyable for everyone.

The final page count will be about 350 pages, so it's adding quite a bit of extra story to the Apocalyptic Empire series. I felt like The Hatchery Compound was a little thin the first time around, so I wanted to make sure I captured all of the story this time.

I am letting everyone know ahead of time because I plan on having it uploaded and out there this weekend. It depends on how quickly Createspace, Smashwords, Google Play, and Amazon does their things though. Either way, I will have it uploaded by the end of the week, and in your hands physically or digitally this weekend.

I plan on having a couple Goodreads Giveaways next week and also a really sweet raffle as well. I will get them all planned out and online this weekend and provide another post for the details. Check back in next week for those.

I hope you all enjoy reading Eradication, and I can't wait to see what happens!

I am working on book three still as well, so plan on that being out sometime in the first part of next year.

Thanks for checking in. I will update as soon as it is online for purchase!

Stay safe out there,

Midnight Apocalyptic Empire: Eradication Update!

So it's midnight...well it will be by the time this is done.

I just sent off my final revisions to Eradication. I added 18 pages of content and 12K words to the book. It filled in a lot of areas that I felt needed more description or beefed up action sequences, etc. It also makes the book feel more polished and complete I think.

Anyway, I sent them off to Abigail, my editor, and as soon as she gets back to me, I can start uploading to Amazon, Smashwords, Createspace, Google Play, etc. etc. Hopefully I can get it out before I head to California next weekend, but if not I will do it as quickly as I can.

Can't wait to get Eradication into your hands!

Stay safe out there,

Signed copies of Apocalyptic Empire: The Hatchery Compound? Yes please?

I got the idea of selling signed copies of Apocalyptic Empire from another author in my group. I realized that I can print and ship a copy of my books for $0.80 less than Amazon is currently selling the print edition.

If you would like a signed and personalized print edition of Apocalyptic Empire: The Hatchery Compound please let me know. If you have never read my book or would like to get into the series before Eradication comes out, now's the time. I can also sign it and send it to someone else, so you could essentially gift someone a copy.

Hit me up by email for details!

Also a quick status update on Eradication. I am about halfway finished with my "final" edit. I have gone through and been adding twenty or thirty pages of additional detail to beef up the story and make it even more awesome. I think it really adds to the story and makes it more action packed. Of course my editor Abigail will probably yell at me about having to proofread more content, it's all worth it! It's coming along great though and I plan to have it available in the next couple weeks. I'm going on vacation next week, but that shouldn't hinder it. If it does...you now have my email, feel free to yell at me...

Thanks for checking in, until next time.

Stay safe out there,
