Trample the Weak has been out for nine months. Leap the Dead, for about two weeks. They both have good, strong looking sales, category rankings, and reviews.
So…
I’ll admit to it now since I already let it slip online…
There’s going to be a third book.
Eat the Survivors.
I’m about 15,000 words into it. (It’s got Nazi’s.)
Originally Trample the Weak and Leap the Dead was going to be one book… Named Operation Something Er Other. Then I signed a contract with a now defunct publishing house who requested it be turned into two books. Then, as I was writing, I had a wild idea of potential turning it into a longer series if the interest was there.
Which it appears to be.
So, there will be a third book. And possibly an as yet unnamed fourth. If this series goes on long enough, maybe we will even get around to slaying some Soviets as well. We will just go around the whole globe, killing bad people everywhere. It’ll be a gas!
In other news, I’m getting back in shape. As close as I can get to my 2019 body before I ruined it with concussions, depression, and eating my feelings. There’s a Spartan Race in South Carolina that I plan on doing this Nov. Giving me about 9 months to drop a ton of weight and learn how to run again.
I can’t wait to not be a giant slug anymore.
And I need more tattoos… But my Tat Guy is in jail for murder right now… so…. that’s a first world hardship to overcome…
But I’m rambling now.
I hope you all have a magnificent month.
Read muchly.
Shoot often.
Live free.
Erik.
