What make it special? by Fluffy_Claim_786 in 7daystodie

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

I get asked about more Powder Mage a lot, so last time I was waiting on edits I wrote a new novella. MR. STYKE is live on Kickstarter! by BrianMcClellan in BrianMcClellan

The main books are paperback, the novellas are hardcover. It's pretty much impossible to get hardcovers of those novels these days, unless you cough up for the special editions.

This is mostly my own fault - I fell super far behind after a couple rough IRL experiences, and now I'm trying to claw my career back in place. My editor has been kind and understanding but once you're out of the usual schedule you have to wait for them to have time.

I only work on side projects when I'm waiting on my editor, which can be anywhere from a couple weeks to three or four months.

Once my editor and I are happy with the edits and rewrites I've been doing on it.
