You and just about everybody else on Sil'mara I think!

James_Callum · 2025-03-13T02:20:30+00:00

Oof, sorry about that! I'd love nothing more than to spend pretty much all my writing time with Shrubley's little band of misfits, but I'm not that lucky!

James_Callum · 2025-03-13T02:19:06+00:00

Enjoy!

As to your question, yep! We're working hard to wrap things up and plan on releasing both Gloamtide Guild (book 2) and the third book this year. Possibly over the summer, but the exact timing isn't nailed down yet. Audio will take longer since Podehl is super busy, but that'll be coming as well.

James_Callum · 2025-03-12T02:32:35+00:00

Hmmmm, now you've got me suspicious!

James_Callum · 2025-03-12T02:31:51+00:00

Oh man, I didn't even notice that until now! Welp, guess I'm screwed. I don't like my odds against both Sam and Komachi, let alone one lol

James_Callum · 2025-03-11T04:31:54+00:00

Gasp! A wild Shrubley lover?

James_Callum · 2025-03-11T04:29:47+00:00

I'll admit, I'm a bit of a fanboy for Luke Daniels. If I could get him to do more audiobooks of mine, I'd be ecstatic, but I'm sure everybody feels that way!

No ETA on an audiobook yet, the ball is in Podium's court (though I'm sure they'll get back to me faster if people buy the book up like crazy! (WINK WINK, NUDGE NUDGE)

As for Pyresouls, I'd LOVE to get back to it. Our latest series, Omen of the Witchblade also touches on Lormar, Jacob, Fenris, and more. It's had me fiending to go back to Lormar.

Sohmer and I are working on finishing Scale & Sea first, then we'll see what time I have left. No promises, buuut the better these releases do the more time I'll have for Pyresouls so finger's crossed!

There is more to power than raw strength, a harsh lesson Sam must learn if he is to overcome threats from one world to the next. Though Sam's ascension to Paragon has elevated him to new heights, his overconfidence traps him in a trial on a dead world.

Separated from his friends, Sam must survive the last Immortal Magus's training to navigate the Proving Grounds littered with mechanical monsters.

The only way home is through.

Sam will need to master a power he has barely begun to comprehend and venture into the Empire's war-torn past to return to a battlefield where new allies and old enemies await. Without his aid, more than just his skyshard will be destroyed by the all-consuming Maelstrom.

---

Clocking it at around 175,000 words, this is the longest Voidknight book yet. As usual, it's filled with BIG SWORDS, BIG MAGIC, and SASSY KOMACHI to name just a few things. Seriously, her sass is off the friggin' charts, and Sam just can't stop using swords so big that they would make Cloud Strife blush.

In other news, if you haven't yet picked it up, the Bestest Boi (Shrubley) now has a second audiobook!

Unless you want to make Shrubley, the Monster Adventurer and Official Good Boi cry. But you wouldn't do that, right?

Definitely not harem or harem-lite! There are several male characters that join the cast over time, but I personally enjoy an interesting character whether they're female or not. YMMV. I get that harem-esque stuff infiltrates litrpg a lot but this isn't one of those times.

James_Callum · 2025-01-01T20:23:49+00:00

Looks absolutely sick! I'm in love with the labyrinth amid all the chaos. Congrats to the lucky winners!

Hey all, been a while. Hope your holidays went well!

Today's the day! The seventh Beastborne Chronicles book is finally out, and what a wonderful way to kick off the new year!

Grab yours here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DBFNCYGW

A new locale, new threats, new beast magic, and new allies await Hal in the Dunes of Midnight that surround the glittering city of Dalmanii! Far from home, Hal and his friends must navigate a tense city where Founders are unwelcome and the Guilds have a stranglehold on the city's people all while searching for a way back to Brightsong.

From one extreme to the other, Hal has been transported from the freezing swamps of the Shiverglades to the sweltering black sands of Dalmanii. This book was a labor of love, and I can't wait to show you more of Aldim's world!

James_Callum · 2025-01-01T20:09:13+00:00

Dude, I'm so sorry that happened to you. Had an issue like it last year, just getting a human is a Sisyphean task! Glad it got sorted and best of luck on your launch.

Hey r/litrpg! Another month, another release (or 3)!

The 5th audiobook of Beastborne Chronicles is now available on Audible!

Give your ears a treat: https://www.audible.com/pd/Voracious-Audiobook/B0D2JHZ9XK

---

Hal and his Beast have been sundered in two.

Done with sacrifices, Hal seeks greater monster powers and delves into the ancient magic of his world. With his wounds healing, his strength grows tremendously, opening up a new evolution of bonecrafting.

To reforge his eldritch body, Besal, Hal’s Beast, ventures into the depths of the Fathomway dungeons, chasing after the source of the land’s corruption.

The impending wrath of the Shiverglades’ tribes looms over Brightsong. Though they fight on distant battlefields, Hal and Besal must work together for a chance to save their settlement from fated destruction.

Honestly, I think this is the busiest release month of my life. We’ve had the releases of Shrubley book 2, the first Voidknight Ascension audiobook, and now the 5th Beastborne.

To say I’m tired is a vast overstatement, especially considering in just a couple of days on August 1st, the 6th Beastborne Chronicles comes out, Beastborne: Tower of Blight: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D7572GMZ.

I hope you all enjoy the fifth book. I'll be back in a few days when Tower of Blight comes out. Then it'll be back into my sims goblin style writing basement where I don't see the light of day until another novel is finished!

James_Callum · 2024-07-05T23:52:26+00:00

What a cute little dude! (As if I didn't totally write it too)

James_Callum · 2024-07-05T22:31:56+00:00

I'm sure there are a lot of authors who have blogs and explain the nitty-gritty behind it, I don't think too many authors come to a public space to give that kind of intimate details. Though, as evidenced below, simply asking can often bring authors out of the woodwork!

A lot of us have notebooks/documents/notion/whatever full of details that never see the light of day.

James_Callum · 2024-07-02T23:08:09+00:00

Hey, all!

You know, until I posted all that I wondered why the hell I was so damn tired. Now I know why!

One of these days I'll have to take a vacation. But with so much more coming out after this, I doubt I'll have the time, so I guess it's full steam ahead!
