All right, so here’s the deal. In short:

The beta version of Book 2 is ready.

Yes, that Book 2.

Those of you reading the Aravinda Loop already know about all this, but for those who haven’t joined the Loop yet, this is your formal notice of impending pants-blowing-off-ness.

What?

The beta-reader group for The Island on the Edge of Forever is mostly formed already, but I thought I should formally announce it.

Oh wait, did I just say that in public?

Yes. Today, I’m happy to announce that the next installment in the Epic of Aravinda series is called THE ISLAND ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER.

And, hilariously enough, it doesn’t involve time travel at all. (Although there are plenty of holes torn in timespace, as per usual.)

If you’d like to join the beta-reader team, just join the Aravinda Loop and reply to the latest email. I will see it. And if you’re not into beta-reading, that’s totally fine. Just do what you’ve been doing. Keep sharing these posts, sending me unsolicited chocolate or Amazon gifts, retweeting my screwball tweets, and generally spreading the word.

Oh, and before I forget, there’s also a little surprise coming to the Kindle store soon. Something I wrote last month, also fiction, that I’m going to release first.

Stay tuned for more on that.
(It’s really flippin’ weird.)

Thanks again for supporting an independent author. Nothing like this would be able to exist without your support.
