Hey all, as many of you may have seen, I posted Symbiote XIII- In My Mind a Monster Slumbers the other day, and have again picked up my book, hopefully for the last time. There's only three, MAYBE four chapters left, and the story will come to its conclusion. Without spoiling too much, I'd like to reveal the titles of the final 3 chapters, with a possible epilogue if two parts aren't enough for the ending. They are as follows, with estimated release schedule as well.
Symbiote XIV- A People Scorned (Estimated release in 4-6 weeks)
Symbiote XV- Landfall (Estimated release in 10-12 weeks)
Symbiote XVI- The Withering Hour (Estimated release in 16-20 weeks)
Once the final chapter is complete, it's on to post-production! This will consist of going over all of the previous chapters with a fine-tooth comb, rewriting parts of them for continuity and polish, and overall just getting the entire work put together in a publish-ready package. These final draft chapters won't be put up online, and will instead be saved to be put out in the published book.
After everything is all together, I'll be working with a few friends of mine to typeset it, commissioning a cover and a few scenes from within, and printing around 20 physical copies at the bookstore here in town, which I will sign and put up for sale. Depending on how well those do, more will be printed. I'm not planning on doing digital copies initially, but I'm not opposed to putting it out there through that medium eventually. I'm also kicking around the idea of a kickstarter to get the ball rolling.
Anyway, thank you to all of the people that have followed this work since I first started it, waaaay back in 2008. It's changed and grown a lot since then, just like I have, and I appreciate the loyalty ya'll have shown for it over the past 9 years. Finally getting to hold this thing that I've worked so hard to create in my hand is going to be a moment I cherish for the rest of my life.
