Moving Day

The time has come to shutter this site and fold the extra content into the main site.

It’s been fun but it’s time to move on.

Migration Time

I think most people visiting this site realize that it’s just an archive of the old stuff. The pages hold a lot of DVD extra material that didn’t make it into the books but I still find useful.

At some point, I’ll migrate those pages over to my main site – nathanlowell.com.

2019 Already?

I’ve just found some new comments on this blog and I’ve answered them.

Sorry for the long delay in responses.

FYI. I update my main site every month and the email notifications for new comments get delivered in my face so I’m less likely to lose a question (or forget to answer).

Here’s a recap:

1. I’m done with Ishmael for a while. By Darkness Forged is out, the manuscript is with Podium for Audible production. Ishmael & Co will return, but not right away. After five years in this universe, I need to write something else.

2. In spite of that I’m working on the latest attempt to write Cape Grace. That’s the book that goes between South Coast and Half Share and explains where Sarah Krugg comes from. It’s not going well but it’s going.

3. Audible editions. All of the existing Ishmael books will be on Audible as soon as Podium processes By Darkness Forged. The rest are already there. I have a production company working on the Tanyth Fairport stories for me so I can publish those myself. It’s taking a long time but I believe the time and money will be worth it in the long run. The Smuggler’s Tales (Natalya and Zoya) are waiting in the wings for me to decide which way to jump with them. They will be available on Audible. I just don’t know when.

4. Paperbacks. Every book has a paperback edition now except for By Darkness Forged. I keep thinking I’ll get that done this week. But I’ve thought that every week since I published the ebook. Amazon has screwed up the links for almost every paperback since they’ve forced me out of CreateSpace and into KDP for paper. If you can’t find one, let me know.

5. After South Coast, I’m working on a new sword and sorcery franchise featuring a barbarian horde, a hostage who must ride with them for a year and a day, and a challenge to what “civilized” means. It’s set in the Tanyth Fairport universe of magic but on a different continent. I need some “fun” writing after being dug into Ishmael and his issues. I hope this will be it.

Seriously. If you’re still following this blog, you need to go over to nathanlowell.com for updates and answers. :)

Safe voyage.

PS. I’ve discovered one of the reasons this site takes so long to load. In any given moment, it’s being hit by at least twenty-five bogus logins trying to crack the passwords. Wordfence is doing its job but this has been going on for weeks.

Tempus Fugit

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.*

I just realized that it’s almost two years since I posted here. Looks like I need to pay a little more attention, eh?

* Ever wonder who said this first? I did.

Happy New Year

While I’ve been posting regularly every month over at nathanlowell.com, I just realized I’m not as dedicated to cross posting over here.

So, with a fond farewell, let me say good-bye 2016 and hello 2017. I’m looking forward to my 10th anniversary with Ishmael Wang on the 12th and to many more years to come. With two more Ishmael books (Seeker’s Tales) and two more Natalya books (Smuggler’s Tales) and who knows what happens after that, there’s plenty to look forward to.

My goal this year is to repeat my four books in a single year achievement. I haven’t managed to accomplish that since 2007. I think it would mark the anniversary in grand shape.

In the meantime, here’s wishing each and every one of you a safe – and profitable – new year.
