by ST Branton
It’s been a little over a year since Lee and I pitched the idea of the gods’ return to Michael Anderle, and since then, we’ve become completely smitten with the characters, the world, and all that Forgotten Gods had to offer.
This has been a really fun run… but I want you to know, the most incredible part of the process is you!
There are authors out there that write their words for the love of the craft. I hear people say they could write their books for an audience of none. Do I get that? Um… sort of. But the truly fun part of it all, what really gets us grinding away through the midnight hours and during lunch breaks and while I wait for my kids at practice is YOU.
So, in this last note in this series, I want you to know that we are forever grateful. We love our readers—those we’ve heard from over the years, as well of the ones we’ll never get a peep out of.
Finally, we started in the world of writing as what is known as “indie authors.” Independent. Self-publishers. But there is nothing “independent” or “selfie” about being an author, whether you’re in the traditional world or not. That’s why we need to offer a big final thank you for the team that surrounds us as well. To the Just in Time reader team, editors, administrative staff, and our incredible cover designer (Hey, Heather!). It’s always a team production, and there were many, many people doing the heavy lifting on this one.
Oh, there’s one last person to thank: ST Branton.
All this time, ST has been tied up in Lee’s basement, wedged between the water heater and a pile of self-help books writing away. He’s a heck of a guy. Almost never complains. A saint, really (get it?).
You might be wondering if we’re letting ST out now. Not a chance! He’s already writing outlines and beats for our next Urban Fantasy, and we are really, really excited about it.
We think you will be too! The working title is The Heinous Crimes of Sarah Slick… Here’s the tagline: “She’s the human that monsters fear at night.” If all goes well, it will be out in the Spring of 2019. Keep your head up and eyes open!
Thanks again for taking the journey with us.
For Kronin,
Chris (and Lee)
