Planned serialization of Second ATAC book

Recently I self-published the first book in my concurrent Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict Series, after serializing it on Wattpad between December 2013 and March of this year in print and Kindle formats. Currently I have begun to write the second book in the aforementioned series which as of this blog post has four completed chapters. My intention is to first write several chapters of Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict #2, then serialize those chapters on Wattpad. As for when I’ll start serializing the currently being written novel, I haven’t decided when I’ll start to do so.

Another Book Finished

A few days ago, I managed to finish up the writing process of my concurrent science fiction novel Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict #1. You may be aware that I wrote most of this upcoming novel during the month of November last year. So far it’s being serialized on a weekly basis on Wattpad. If you like to read what’s been posted so far click here: http://www.wattpad.com/story/10358464-amderesta-the-alcasian-conflict-1. Now I’ve began to write the second book in the series which begins immediately after the ending of Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict #1.

Along with the second Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict book, I’m currently working on writing the eleventh book in the Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series as well. I not going to give away too much about the book at this moment. If you read my first Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict book let me know what you think.

Future plans for the Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series/Online Serial plans

Well, I am currently finished up the tenth book in the series which will conclude the STPLA conflict storyline that started in Amderesta The 4th Republic #7. Starting with book eleven, the series will focus on the civil war between the Alcasian Federation and Alcasian Republic depicted in my Wattpad serial, Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict. I  have put together a rough outline for book 11 which could change as I write it.

 

On a different note, I’ve been considered hosting an online serial here on my blog where a different author sends me a story as part of serial and I upload it for people to read. I would have links to each person’s Facebook, Twitter, blog, etc. If you are reading this blog post and would like to contribute a story for my online serial, send me an email at amderestathe4threpublic@outlook.com with a message saying you’re interested in participating. Since I’d like people between the ages of 13-17 to possibly read this serial, try to keep the content suitable for younger teenagers. Once I get a few people signed up to contribute to the serial, I  will plan out the deadline for writing and sending each part to my email listed here in this blogpost to those who decide to particpate.

Planned Online Scifi Serial

Hello people who are reading this,

Normally, I post updates on the books in my Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series, I am currently writing, however I am planning to host a weekly serialised science fiction story on this blog every Friday. This will be a collaberative efforts hopefully with other indie authors who also write science fiction. If you have a blog or Amazon page if you have any books out, I will mention it at the end of your installment. If you are interested in participating, you can send me a message on my facebook page saying you would like to participate in my serial.

Hopefully this will draw people to my blog and help those of you who contribute each week and myself to obtain new readers of our books.

Second Edition of Amderesta The 3rd Republic

Hello everyone,

Yesterday, I made the Kindle version of Amderesta The 3rd Republic, Second Edition available on the US, UK, German, Italian, Spanish, Canadian, Japanese, and other Amazon sites.

During the month of November last year, I wrote a science fiction novel set during the time period of Amderesta The 3rd Republic which expands this paragraph in the first edition: On the AAR-Third Republic border, Amderestan Army Republic Defense Force Combat Assault Groups crossed into Third Republic space and conducted cross border attacks in violation of the treaty signed with the 3rd Republic. Over the next ten years, the Amderestan Defense Force Combat Assault Groups and Amderestan Army Defense Force fought almost daily assaults against the installations on each side of the border. This paragraph has been removed from the Second Edition and replaced with the entire text of Amderesta The 3rd Republic: The 3rd Third Republic-AAR War which I wrote during last year's NaNoWriMo

My plan is to release the forthcoming scifi novel Amderesta The 3rd Republic: The 3rd Third Republic-AAR War as a seperate novel for those who get the first edition of Amderesta The 3rd Republic in August.

I hope everyone has great 2013,

Daniel

NaNoWriMo

This is my second year of participating in National Novel Writing Month, as you may already know if you follow my twitter, liked my Facebook page Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series which this blog is posted to. Basically the purpose of NaNoWriMo is to see if you can write a 50,000 word novel between November 1st and November 30th. Right now, I have written 25,000 words on the novel I am working on for this year’s NaNoWriMo which will be added into the first book in my Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series, Amderesta The 3rd Republic once I finished writing it.

10th Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Book

I am currently in progress of writing the tenth book in my Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series which picks up directly from the ending of Amderesta The 4th Republic #8. The Amderestan-Analkian EGA War. Since characters in later books of the series make references to events which occur in earlier books, you should read start with Amderesta The 3rd Republic and follow with Amderesta The 4th Republic #1 through Amderesta The 4th Republic #8 in that order. I have the first seven books available as an Onmibus if you like to read them as a single volume.

This book will continue my current story arc that started in chapter 2 of Amderesta The 4th Republic #7. Basically the 4th Amderestan Republic is entrenched in a civil war with the Swearia Tourist Parisia Liberation Army who wants to gain control of the Taronia Region, Tourist Region, Swearia Region, and Parisia Region. As of the beginning of Amderesta The 4th Republic #9, STPLA has been dealt a major blow in the Taronia Region thanks to Jonathan Lencon who commands Amderestan Military forces there. However, things for our protagonists will get pretty interesting as thing progress in the writing of this book. I’ll be posting segments as I write them to Wattpad, if you like to read them.

Planning a prequel Series

In addition to the currently eight book Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series which will be a nine book series when I finish writing Amderesta The 4th Republic #8. The Amderestan-Analkian EGA War, I have starting on a five book prequel series that is set before before Amderesta The 3rd Republic. The five books in the prequel series set before the Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series will have an interconnecting plot that directly ties into events of Amderesta The 3rd Republic and cover the backstory to events that occur in the aforementioned book. Obviously, there is the issue of internal continuity relating the eight soon-to-be nine books in the Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series that will have to be dealt with as I work on the prequel novels. I am considering the possibility of serializing the Amderesta The 3rd Republic Prequel Series on Wattpad as I write it and let you read it in installments until I've finished writing each book. So, I'll have plently of writing to do once Amderesta The 4th Republic #8 is finished. My website www.amderestathe4threpublic.com will have excerpts from each of the prequel novels as well. Thanks to everyone who has gotten a copy of my books in Onmibus format or seperately, you can leave your feedback on my Facebook page Amderesta The 4th Republic to which my blog post will be posted to.

Continuity Issues While Writing an Ongoing Series

Right now, I working on four books that are connected to the Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series. I'm writing the ninth book which continues the events from the end of Amderesta The 4th Republic #7, a prequel: Amderesta The 3rd Republic: The Vellans Adminstration which details events leading up to Amderesta The 3rd Republic's prologue and I am writing two concurrent books which covers a 22 year period after the Second Third Republic-AAR War depicted at the beginning of the prologue. The thing here is keep all of the storylines straight as I jump back and forth between writing each book that's currently under production. Some authors outline the plotlines of their books, while I choose to write by the seat of my pants. Thanks for reading this blog post. If you like to get any of my books, visit my website at http://www.amderestathe4threpublic.com there you can read also read excerpts from my books as well. Also, leave me any comments you may have.

Writing Update

With the publication of Amderesta The 4th Republic #2. The SSAAR-Yenturian-Amderestan War and Amderesta The 4th Republic #3. The Colonization, I am now concentrating on typing up Amderesta The 4th Republic #1. The NDEG Mission on my laptop. So far I'm typing up the third chapter of my book. If you like to read the first two chapters, they are posted on Wattpad. Just type Dan1986 into the search and you should find it.

Also, thanks again to everyone who has downloaded the Kindle versions of my Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic books. If you enjoyed reading them, I love to read your feedback on them on my facebook page Amderesta The 4th Republic, or on Goodreads.

If you haven't read any of Stephen Jennison-Smith's books yet, I recommend you download them to your Kindle and read them. Let's just say that his books have a Monty Python style of humor that will make you want to read more.
