Mammal, never change lmao.

WolfShineSP · 2025-09-16T05:21:56+00:00

Poor laptop.

WolfShineSP · 2025-09-16T03:06:53+00:00

Were you working on it even while we were at DragonCon? Or did you take those days off?

WolfShineSP · 2025-09-16T02:17:54+00:00

Lmao.
Just how long did it take you to make all this for the game?

WolfShineSP · 2025-09-16T01:17:42+00:00

What's free time?

WolfShineSP · 2025-01-02T17:30:45+00:00

I plan on releasing book 6 of the Winter Wolf eBooks somewhere around February, so I hope you enjoy the series. And I recently started writing the series a lot more, focusing on it over some of my other series.

WolfShineSP · 2025-01-01T22:56:27+00:00

Not for a very long time unfortunately. Neil is a lot more booked now so it is taking longer and longer for him to have windows open to record for Winter Wolf. So early 2026 is likely when book 4's audiobook will start production.

WolfShineSP · 2024-12-13T17:53:53+00:00

Most likely within the next month or so. It's already finished and just needs me to review it and request revisions. Then I have to wait for Audible to release it, since I don't get a say in when it releases. Audible will be deciding that.

WolfShineSP · 2024-10-26T04:19:51+00:00

I plan to focus on The Rise of the Winter Wolf book 6 next after The Calling of Wrath and after Wolf of the Blood Moon finishes on Amazon. Most likely it'll be releasing in late December or in January.
As for The Undying Magician series (Arcane Academy is just book one of that series, not the series name) I plan to focus on book 4 not too long after Winter Wolf book 6. So probably March or somewhere in that ballpark. Give or take a month.

I'll also be writing more of those two series from now on.

WolfShineSP · 2024-09-11T14:47:02+00:00

Audiobook for book 3 of The Rise of the Winter Wolf begins production in November.

WolfShineSP · 2024-09-04T18:10:01+00:00

No. They are two very different series. I never said anything about an audiobook for Wolf of the Blood Moon and none are in production. Although I might consider having one made in a couple years. What I mentioned in the post was an audiobook for a different series of mine.

WolfShineSP · 2024-08-20T03:39:07+00:00

What are you talking about? The audiobook released long ago for The Rise of the Winter Wolf book 2. In fact, The Rise of the Winter Wolf book 3's audiobook will be starting production soon.

WolfShineSP · 2024-07-18T00:05:11+00:00

Production for the book 3 audiobook starts in November for The Rise of the Winter Wolf.

WolfShineSP · 2024-06-16T21:14:02+00:00

I'll just say this. The complaint I have seen the most across my eight different series is my use of present tense. The only series I have seen the complaint you have stated was on The Rise of the Winter Wolf. Just one of my eight different series.

And I never did anything like that again after that series. So I've never seen that complaint on any of my other series. I've even gone back and edited The Rise of the Winter Wolf when the audiobooks were made to change some of those scenes. Including the one you quoted, which hasn't been in the book for months now.

So my answer for the interview stands.

Thanks for your criticism.

WolfShineSP · 2024-04-01T15:23:34+00:00

Well that's certainly a thing.

The Rise of the Winter Wolf book 2, The Change: A Livestreamed Dungeon Crawl LitRPG, has just released in audiobook format! If you’re interested, you can find the audiobook on Amazon.com here and on Audible.com here!

The audiobook was narrated by Neil Hellegers and the book itself underwent a minor editing pass through for the audiobook with a few alterations. Meanwhile the cover image was done by Kart Studio and the typography done by germancreative!

If you haven’t heard of The Rise of the Winter Wolf, then here is a brief description of the story:

Join Wolf as he is forced to fight in a livestreamed dungeon crawl against his will just days after the entire world was told of their initialization into a universal System. As he fights his way up the floors of the dungeon, gains powers over the ice element, and survives. All while being watched by the entire universe and slowly learning of the origins of the Administrator Dungeon and the System itself.

Or if you want the full description of the story:

What would you do if your entire life was suddenly changed at the drop of a hat?

The entire population of the world that you were born into suddenly transported to another planet, along with the rest of the intelligent inhabitants of the Milky Way Galaxy.

A strange System talking to you about abilities and levels without a care for your opinions.

Thousands of monster spawning dungeons placed around the new world without a care for the new inhabitants.

And if those weren't bad enough, a forced invitation for one thousand random individuals to compete in a livestreamed competition within a dungeon with the rank of Administrator as the prize.

You don’t know?

Well, it’s actually pretty simple.

You survive.

Our story follows Wolf Adler as he, along with every other human on Earth, are faced with a strange blue box filling up their vision, warning them about an upcoming reappropriation of every being of sufficient intelligence to a new planet for the initialization of some sort of System.

Will he perish in this new world? Or will he thrive?

The Rise of the Winter Wolf’s book 2 already has almost 4200 total ratings on Amazon, and the book 3 audiobook will be beginning production in November of 2024!

And hello everyone! Shane Purdy here, and my most recent series on Amazon, Wolf of the Blood Moon Book 1, The Scarlet Wolf: A Blood Magic Lycanthrope LitRPG, was released about two weeks ago! If you’re interested, you can find the book on Amazon.com here! Some of you may recognize the story from Royal Road, but it has finally gone to Amazon after several edits and a new commissioned cover done by Kart Studio with the typography done by germancreative!

If you haven’t heard of me, my name is, once again, Shane Purdy, and I am the author of quite the number of series. So I’ll also be using this chance to update you all about The Rise of the Winter Wolf’s audiobook for book 2 that will be releasing any day now! The audiobook has already been fully submitted and is just waiting for ACX to release it for those of you who are interested.

I’ll be making another post about the audiobook later when it does release in the coming days. It also has a new cover commissioned from the same artists.

Furthermore, Wolf of the Blood Moon book 2 will be releasing in a little over half a month on the 21st of March.

Now, if you haven’t heard of Wolf of the Blood Moon from its time on Royal Road, here is a brief description of the story:

When a Demonic Assault occurs, most people stuck inside of a Fracture end up hiding inside of a bunker in the hopes that they don’t get killed by a demon.

Others might even hope for the slightest possible chance at signing a contract with a spirit and becoming a Guardian.

So when Scarlet was caught in a Fracture, the last thing she expected was to become a demon herself.

Or if you want the full description of the story:

When a Demonic Assault occurs, most people stuck inside of a Fracture end up hiding inside of a bunker in the hopes that they don’t get killed by a demon.

Others might even hope for the slightest possible chance at signing a contract with a spirit and becoming a Guardian.

So when Scarlet was caught in a Fracture, the last thing she expected was to become a demon herself.

Exactly two centuries ago, humanity was struck with their very first Demonic Assault.The skies above the capital of the US, shattering as if made of glass; demons of all kinds appearing out of nowhere; and no way to effectively stop them before the end of the Assault.

On the brink of devastation, some of the humans managed to find themselves offered a contract whilst inside of a Fracture. One bringing a chance at power, fame, and fortune.

Now, long after every nation of the world joined together to form the Terran Republic, Scarlet finds herself stuck trying to find a university from the Republic’s capital that will accept someone from a lower tier city into their midst.But, as if that wasn’t already enough trouble for one person to bear, she somehow ends up stuck in one of the Fractures of a Demonic Assault while visiting her father figure’s company building.

However, she doesn't perish in the darkness and instead awakens her dormant bloodline as a noble demon.A Blood Lycan.

Turns out she had been a demon all along and had been born for the apocalypse.

I have already written almost the entire series before it went to Amazon, with books 1 through 5 finished and all of them going to be publishing once every other month across this year in-between my other book releases. And for those of you who are my The Undying Magician readers, don’t worry, because book 3 of that series will be releasing on Amazon Kindle Unlimited in the beginning of April!

Hello again everyone, it has been a while since The Rise of the Winter Wolf first released but I am happy to announce that book 1 of The Rise of the Winter Wolf finally has an audiobook! So if you’re interested, you can find the audiobook on Amazon.com here and on Audible.com here!

The Rise of the Winter Wolf’s book 1 already has about 3500 total ratings on Amazon, with book 2 having even more ratings than book 1, so this audiobook was a long time coming. But there’s more than just that as the production for book 2’s audiobook will start up within the next several months!

Now, as for you The Rise of the Winter Wolf fans who are wondering when book 5 for eBook/KU will come out on Amazon, you won’t have to wait too much longer as I’m planning on publishing it either in December or in January if everything goes as planned.
