Atlantis Rises

I’ve been absent from the blog (and writing in general) for a little while. Some personal problems got in the way of things, but I’m back in full swing again. Atlantis #5 should be up on Fictionwise Monday and I’m putting the finishing touches on Atlantis #6.

Jeff and I have both given the way we’re publishing some thought. While we love the interaction that’s possible with a monthly publishing schedule we’ve found that no one is taking us up on it. In light of that we’ve decided to fall back to a quarterly schedule, which still allows us interaction if people ever decide to takes us up on it. Quarterly also means more money for us (Fictionwise charges the same conversion fee no matter how long the book) and longer issues for you. The plan is to triple the size of the issues and charge between $1 and $2 an issue (the price is still up in the air, wherever it falls you’ll save money over buying monthly issues). Finally quarterly gives us more time to work on and polish issues, I really think this is a winner no matter how we slice it. The final thing this does is gives us some time to work on other projects and take a break from our main series without missing release dates. For me the quarterly publishing will start with issue 7. So look for somewhere between 9,000 and 12,000 words (not to mention a ton of action and some major revelations about Terry and his crew).
