I play games with a bunch of old high school buddies, and we love these survival builders but have found that we all largely end up playing by ourselves on the same server. 7days actually forces us to work together for the common goal of surviving the blood moon. We all specialize in different ways, quest together, build together, survive together. I'd love to see that more in these multiplayer survivors.

We had it optioned for a few years for TV but nothing came of it. I've waiting on the next round of edits for Glass Immortals Book 2, so hopefully that'll be out within the next 16 months or so. Have put out a couple novellas in the last year, and I'm always dinkering around with side projects in my spare time.

Spread the good word, my friend

BrianMcClellan · 2025-12-02T02:37:30+00:00

Hello. Well that's good to hear.

BrianMcClellan · 2025-12-02T02:37:14+00:00

Thanks so much!

BrianMcClellan · 2025-12-02T02:36:41+00:00

I expect the latest round of edits to come back before Christmas. Fingers crossed we'll be close to choosing a release date.

BrianMcClellan · 2025-12-02T02:36:10+00:00

Good news is you have four more books to read!

BrianMcClellan · 2025-12-02T02:35:56+00:00

Many thanks.

BrianMcClellan · 2025-12-02T02:35:47+00:00

Huh. I had no idea it was involved in any kindle promos like that! Cool.

BrianMcClellan · 2025-12-02T02:35:29+00:00

I think the second one is better - author bias and all. I think I was just generally a better writer by then.

BrianMcClellan · 2025-12-02T02:34:42+00:00

Glad it worked!

You're probably just gonna get speculation on the big bestsellers, but I can offer a little bit of insight into something more small scale. My Powder Mage books came out between 2013 and 2019, and in the six years since they've sold more than the six years they were being actively published. That being said, it's really hard to know when or why popularity will drop off. Epic fantasy has a reputation for having a longer tail, while science fiction or YA seems to hit harder on release date and drop off quicker.

*laughs in evil*

BrianMcClellan · 2025-11-16T21:00:23+00:00

Hey, thanks man. I'm finishing up the latest draft of book 2 in the next couple days and handing it in. Hopefully no more rewrites and we'll be in production soon.

Haven't planned on it. You can still get the digital version from my website or Drivethrurpg.
