As I’m approaching the finish line on the second book in my series (chronologically, the fourth), I thought it might be helpful, especially for Alpha and Beta readers, to see my vision for the series.
The series arc spans a score of millennia and multiple universes, but it does, in truth, center around a single, key character. At this point, I think I’m going to have 9 books, with two of them (dashed lines) somewhat supplemental to the main story arc.
I’m not going to spell out the details here and now because, well, I’m writing novels! But if you’re interested, feel free to reach out to me. I’m open to new Alpha and Beta readers, as long as you’re open to providing me with meaningful feedback. In the past, I asked Beta readers to complete a questionnaire and mark up a paper copy of the book. In the future, I’ll ask for a phone conversation post-read, as well.
Be safe out there. The Cosmos isn’t tame. Oh, and wash your hands!
One response to “The Seven Coins Universe”
In the past few weeks, I’ve realized a few things that will change this map and my plans:
1. “Neftando’s Education” will probably be called “The Chronicles of Neftando Pas, Volume 1.” It will be written from Neftando’s PoV, but not in first person. Look for it to be close in voice to Chapter 26 of “Convergence”–a little omniscient, in a stilted sort of way.
2. There are likely more than 9 books. Maybe 10. Possibly 11. I think there’s another between “Enter the Game” and “The Collapsing Order.”
3. “Convergence,” “Distraction,” and “Enter the Game” should likely all be published within weeks of each other because they are so interdependent. As well, there is overlap between the end of “Enter the Game” and “Rise of the Space Pirates.”
