I just ordered another set of paperback proof copies for all 7 books with new cover design. Once I get it, if I think it looks good, I'll submit it for publishing. So, all 7 books should be available either end of Dec. or for sure in Jan. 2020.

The main 7 book series is now 100% complete and ready for submitting


Today the entire 7 book Conqueror of the Sun main series paperback version is 100% complete, with PDF files already created and uploaded to Amazon. The only thing that remains is to finish up the book covers, and then create an ebook version.

While working on doing the final read-through on the final book for the 7 book series, I got inspired to create yet another side story for the Conqueror of the Sun series.
From the original idea to brainstorming for less than an hour, I was able to construct the entire scaffolding of the plot for the recently birthed novel.

This new book will be part of the Alternate Light Chronicles and take place during The IIIrd Tear era. The story will be entitled "Conqueror of Sun - Path to Death"

This brings the entire series to an even 30 books now. That is the plan at least, whether I can make all of them in reality is a different issue...

Slightly changed the dock color to more how I imagined it.

Also, I have finished the final grammar run on all 7 books now.

The next steps are:
1) Format the novels for ebook version
2) Format the novels for paperbook version
3) Finalize book covers
4) Publish

Not sure how long this process will take, but my rough guess is 1-3 months to be ready to publish.

I made a scene of the two main characters of the Conqueror of the Sun series in Daz Studio. Shawn and Sabrina Arc. This scene is actually in the 2nd Prelude Book and was meant to be the original cover design.

FAQ:

01. Q: What is the Conqueror of the Sun series about?
      A: This is a synopsis for the series as a whole in book "back cover" format:

          The Conqueror of the Sun series a seven-book epic saga that has been 30 years in the making. The story is about a man named Shawn Arc and his desire for power and control beyond anything achieved in human history so far. The story takes place in an alternate timeline that starts in the 1990s and extends far, far into the future. Arc’s ultimate goal is to conquer the world into a single empire under his organization, the IRF or International Rebellion for Freedom. Shawn Arc is willing to do anything to achieve his goals, whether it be by deception, conspiracy, war, betrayal, or on the backs of millions of dead. At the same time, the story shows that Shawn Arc is also about love, romance, and intimate relationships. Can this man be both monster and human? Or is he merely a larger than normal mirror to reflect the essence of the human condition?
