Bad News for BREAKSHIELD Fans

8/14/2016

1 Comment

 
I received some bad news from the publisher of my BREAKSHIELD fantasy series yesterday: after five years in business The Zharmae Publishing Press is closing up shop. Disappointing, but not entirely unexpected, I'm afraid. Zharmae is a small publisher and the vast majority of them don't make it. Although they signed many authors and published many books (including three from me), Zharmae struggled to find their niche and grow as a company.

So, this leaves me in a bit of a pickle. I published the first two novels in the BREAKSHIELD series (BREAKSHIELD and SEIOKANA) through Zharmae, and had the final installment (REAPER) scheduled for release this October. Obviously that's not going to happen. At least not for while. I would like to get the last installment out there, though--I'm a bit of a completionist  and I know fans will want to know how it all ends--so I'm looking into my options. Self-publishing is the most likely route but I'm not ruling out another publisher. Assuming I can one who's interested in a partially previously published fantasy series.

That said, BREAKSHIELD and SEIOKANA are both available on Amazon for a little while longer--Zharmae doesn't officially pull the plug until 31 August 2016--so if you've been thinking about reading them, grab them now. Just a couple more weeks and it's all over.

To be continued...(I sincerely hope)
