The Beginning

Hello everyone,

This is, obviously, my first post on anything as the author of Mechanical Instinct. It's a surprisingly difficult post to write, as it feels like there's both an awful lot to say, but at the same time, very little to say. So I'll start with a simple update on the state of affairs. At the time of writing this, the first book, The Swamp Town Tournament, has been up for a short while, though it hasn't been remotely successful, which I will admit is solely down to my own lack of marketing for it. This is something I intend to remedy in the near future, once I have the few things keeping me from it sorted out. In the mean time, if you've somehow stumbled across this blog by accident and are curious to read the first book, it can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LQ5W5G4

On to news about the future, starting with this blog in general, I intend to keep semi-active on it, with an update posted roughly once a week. These will usually be either updates on how the next book is coming, expected release dates, leaks of cover art, or a leak of the blurb for the next book. I suspect it'll usually be one of each of those a per release, with perhaps a personal update, or a plug of something else I'm up to mixed in for those times when I need to make 5 posts during a book's development.

Finally, in the spirit of the last point, some news on the next book. Provided all goes to plan with Amazon, it shall be released on the 7th of October. The book itself is all finished, and the art is also almost done. It's mostly just a case of looking to establish a monthly schedule, and giving me time to build a back log so that should disaster strike, I can still release on time. The only problem is you'll be receiving status updates on a book ahead of the book that's being released more often than not. Sorry about that all.

Anyway, that's enough for the first post. More to come, I'm sure.
