Some of you have probably spotted the advertising on the various free and bargain book sites. Today is the last day and Quarter Share is being promoted by Free Kindle Books and Tips.

Michael Gallagher has been a fan for a while and has graciously added a link to his review to the advertising to lend his personal support to helping me out with this. If you’ve a mind to help spread the word on Facebook or Twitter or anywhere else you might be active, you can help me and help a fellow fan by giving today’s post a share, like, follow, whatever.

You might also find his daily promo’s interesting so feel free to subscribe. Every new subscriber he gets helps his reach and you’ll get access to some of the best new indie authors when their works go on sale.

He also tells me you can register for a Kindle Fire giveaway.

The free/99cent pricing goes back to normal Monday so … if you’ve a mind to grab the Kindle versions (which will be linked to the Whispersync from Podium when they’re produced, hint, hint), this is a good chance to do that.

Thanks!

Nathan’s Novel Writing Month — that’s actually every month but November is a special kick. We’ll see how far I get.

In other news, I signed a contract with Podium to produce the audiobook versions of Ishmael Wang books. All six Shares plus the three Seeker’s. Make sure you’ve got your MP3s of my narrations because they’re going to come down when the new books go up on Audible. I fought it as long as I could but Audible – like KDP – is the 6000 pound gorilla. The upside here is that Podium has some of the best audio in the business and they hire only the best narrators. The downside is that I have no control over the process now.

It also means I’ll have more time to write new stories without having to worry about when I’m going to get the audiobooks done.

So I’ll be going mostly dark over November and working on cranking out as many words as I can while the November madness is upon us.

Let the wild rumpus start!

Milk Run – Smuggler 1 – due at editor: 11/1 – release Dec 2015 Sept 2016
To Fire Called – Seeker 2 – due at editor: 12/1 – release Feb 2016 Nov 2016
Suicide Run – Smuggler 2 – due at editor: 1/1 – release Apr 2016 Jan 2017

Assuming I make my deadlines. I’m behind on Milk Run because I’ve been so distracted by the launch.

Milk Run is REALLY late.

Will I publish it in paper?

Yes, but I’m behind on Milk Run and can’t afford the time right now. I want the paperback out by Christmas which means I need to convert and publish in November.

In Ashes Born is currently available in paper.

Will I publish it in audio?

Yes, but I’m behind on three titles in audio now and I can’t afford the three months it will take to get them done. I’m working to offload some of the post-production work but that’s still a lot of time. Unfortunately, I can’t outsource the reading. I’m apparently the only Nathan Lowell voice out there at the moment. This is going to have to wait until I get the next three books written and in the pipeline. Which will put me behind by SIX titles for audio. The first few months of 2016 will be playing catch-up. Again.

Audio will be both podiobook and audiobook, but the audiobooks will not be on Audible. I’ll need to find another mechanism to get those out to you. I’ll have to charge for the audiobook because I’ll need to offset the expense of hiring the post-production engineer on those.

Podium is publishing all the Ishmael books in Audible format. Quarter, and Half are out. Look for Full in August and then one a month until they get to Ashes.

That’s what I got for now. See current posts for up to date information going forward.
