Pardon my dust. Currently splitting the books. Things on my profile will be messy for a lil bit.

@SmittyBS I agree! I've had the best success with newsletters. If you want to share some contact details I can send you everything I've tried and my up coming plan. I don't think there is a DM feature on here, but you can find me on Reddit if you want to send something privately. Same username.

@PeterADixon I've tried a few times to run campaigns with the built-in Amazon advertisement services but they're just far too costly for me to maintain on a steady basis. I'm a new graduate and don't make that kind of money yet, and the Amazon marketing space is pretty byzantine to me.

No updates this week - I've spent all my usual writing time working on edits to Silver Saint and Silver Ghost. Splitting this behemoth into two novels isn't impossible, just a tad tricky.
          
          (The new covers look AMAZING)
          
          I'm also just feeling a bit burnt out, 95% of the comments I get these days are from bots advertising their "Discord art accounts".
          
          If you're a real human and are actually reading this, know that I greatly, truly appreciate you. It's the rare human comment or follow I get that keeps me posting here at all.
          
          Expect big changes soon! Updates will resume.

Scope creep is a real issue.
          
          As it stands, Silver Reign is at 140,000 words, and barely halfway through the plot. 
          
          Iron Empire was only 160,000 words.
          
          If I keep going like this, Silver Reign will be over 300,000 words and counting, and that's simply too much book.
          
          Something has to change.
          
          I'm proud of this series and want to keep it as much of a saga as I intend, and for that reason I'm proud to announce:
          
          Silver Reign is now a trilogy.
          
          Jackson and Taewon's stories will be broken into their own novels, before the third and final book ties the plot up.
          
          All three novels will be made available here on Wattpad, so nothing will be lost! 
          
          SILVER SAINT will cover Jackson Quinn's story as he continues the fight against Axion Industries, rising as a global hero.
          
          SILVER GHOST will cover Taewon's story, fighting in the shadows with the Partisans to hunt Gabriel down.
          
          SILVER REIGN will bring both tales together, culminating in the a final conflict between the two, and the truth behind the Iron War.
          
          Three novels. One story. The rework is coming soon.

The end of the line!
          
          With the entire city on his tail and his window for escape closing, it's down to the wire for Taewon and Phoenix Squad! 
          
          But Taewon isn't the only one in danger—an entire city of innocent people is at risk!
          
          Silver Reign Chapter Forty, "Exfiltration", is out now!

SmittyBS

On the run and out of options!
          
          Taewon's journey up Olympus Tower is at an end, but his hosts aren't too eager to see him leave! To escape Axion's clutches, he'll have to risk it all!
          
          You know what they say about desperate times...
          
          Silver Reign, Chapter Thirty-Nine: "Evasion" is out now! 

SmittyBS

Sic semper tyrannis!
          
          Facing the monster at the top of it all, Taewon is alone, vastly outgunned and at his wit's end! After all it's taken to climb Olympus Tower, is this where his journey ends?
          
          Silver Reign, Chapter Thirty-Eight: "Retribution" is out now!

Also a friendly reminder that chapters published on Wattpad are written weeks, if not months in advance, and do not represent or relate to any current events! :-)

"An amnesiac. A grieving husband. A gravekeeper. A scholar. A governor. Five people, five stories, all with one terrible connection.
          
          In thirty seconds, the most important man in the city will die. Their stories will shape the fate of this great city—or damn it forever."
          
          
          "City of Threads" is a 17,000 word novella I have just completed over the past month, and submitted to the Writers of the Future competition! 
          
          I am happy to announce that it is now in the running, and will soon be uploaded to Wattpad in its entirety. 
          
          It was a fun month of break from writing Silver Reign, which will continue as usual on Friday.

Face to face with the monster behind the curtain!
          
          Taewon Park has come a long way in the past six months, and further still to reach his first true enemy—the trillionaire Ezekiel Stoat!
          
          Now facing the man himself, he may have bitten off far more than he can chew. 
          
          They say money can't buy happiness... but Taewon might be the one paying the ultimate price!
          
          Silver Reign Chapter 37: "Confrontation", is out now!

Exscuse me can you give me a chance to share my short story to build an audience, I’m writing a Mecha. 

The_Metal_Wizard

Yes, they’re experimental short stories that take place after a planned first novel. I’m planning to release each of them until they’re a little more revised. Following two characters, mech pilot’s enduring in-universe scenarios. The first two are focused on my anti-villian/anti-hero Astra in a conflicting romantic entanglement and another featuring her attack on a space station in the way of her outfit’s survival against nearly impossible odds. Andromeda my hero character struggling under a broken system that demands her duty to protect the human race from the Tiamat during a rescue operation to save fellow marines and a shore leave that explores her team’s struggle to move on from lingering traumatic events burnt out from the rotation of combat that they tour through across the galaxy. This is an introduction to a Sci-Fi Universe, set in a galaxy in a constant of internal or external conflict from those that demand humanity’s extinction and humanity fighting among itself.

@The_Metal_Wizard Always happy to help out a fellow author! If you want to make a proper post advertising your mech story, you can leave it here on my page and I won't take it down like I do all the bot advertisements. What's your story about?

Silver Reign, Chapter Thirty-Six: "Recollection" is out now.
          
          I don't have a flashy intro for this one, because it doesn't feel appropriate. "Recollection" is probably one of the darker chapters I've ever written, so it wouldn't feel right.
          
          Rest assured, though, Taewon Park and his allies won't let something so monstrous go unpunished.
