Serialization of novel

 Serialized Novels

Those of you who have read books written by Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and other authors in the late 19 and early 20th century may have heard their books were orginally serialized in magazines such as The Strand Magazine among many others of that time period.
 Fast foward to 2014, a lot of writers and authors, myself included having been using Wattpad to share stuff we written in a serial format. In fact, I orginally serialized the 9th and 10th books in my Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series before publishing them through Createspace. At this moment, I'm serializing my scifi novel Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict #1 which was mostly written during November 2013.
The first five chapters which have been uploaded on Wattpad so far can be read by clicking this link here:  http://www.wattpad.com/story/10358464-amderesta-the-alcasian-conflict-1 along with the chapters listed below on the dates mentioned.

Another Year of NaNoWriMo Finished

Well, it's been a while since I've written anything in my blog. Yesterday, I reached fifty thousand words on the scifi novel I started writing on 1 November as part of NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. This novel titled Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict #1 written during the past month  is the first book in a planned four book series set alongside my Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series. The fourth book being Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict which you can read on Wattpad via this link: http://www.wattpad.com/story/3963206-amderesta-the-alcasian-conflict-4

Each Friday starting this week, I will be serializing the fifteen chapters of my scifi novel Amderesta The Alcasian Conflict #1 on Wattpad as I have done with some of the other books I've written so far.

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

New cover for Amderesta The 3rd Republic

Over the past few months I’ve been corresponding with fellow author Tammie Gibbs to have a new book cover designed for science fiction novel Amderesta The 3rd Republic. Without further ado, I give the new book cover that will be on the Kindle, print, Nook, and Kobo version of my book. I love to hear your thoughts on the new cover for my book.

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.

If you have a blog or Amazon page if you have any books out, I will mention it at the end of your installment.

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.

This is a three minute sample of the upcoming audiobook version of Amderesta The 3rd Republic which was recorded by ACX narrator Scot Wilcox. In this scene Jonathan Lencon has returned from investigating the BSI bio-weapon facility on Allian to met with the Amderestan Senate's Defense and Intelligence Committee.

Audiobook Adaptation

Right now, I am working with a narrator through Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX)to create an audiobook version of the first book in the Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic Series. Under the ACX Agreement entered into by my narrator, the first fifteen minutes has to be uploaded to ACX pending my approval or suggestions for changes by September 30 2012. Once I give approval for the first fifteen minute segment, my narrator is bound by the aforementioned ACX Agreement to record the entire audiobook by December 31, 2012. Once the audiobook version of Amderesta The 3rd Republic is available for purchase from audible.com, Amazon, and through itunes, any royalties will be shared between myself and the narrator.

My Recommended Reading Order for the Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic series

Return to Civilian Control. I am currently in the process of writing the ninth book in the Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic series along with a prequel to Amderesta The 3rd Republic. The series is intended to be read as an ongoing serial , i.e each book continues the storylines of the previous book in the series. The eight books currently available in the Amderesta The 3rd/4th Republic series can be purchased individually or in an omnibus from amazon sites in the United States, UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain in paperback versions printed through CreateSpace and kindle verions.
