Heir of the Bindings: now in Paperback

Heir of the Bindings is now available in print-on-demand paperback through Ingram Spark. The ISBN is 978-1-966887-01-0 and I am told it should be possible to order it through major retailers.

Announcing the release of Heir of the Bindings

The ebook edition of Heir of the Bindings: Elderkin Chronicles Volume I is now available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Smashwords, and various other vendors and library ebook lending programs. The list price is $5.99 US.

The POD paperback edition will be available shortly.

New Schedule at Last

The new planned Release date for Heir of the Bindings, Volume 1 of the Elderkin Chronicles, is January 2025.

The new hoped for release date for Childe of Sorrows, Volume 2 of the Elderkin Chronicles, is late summer 2025.

The new hoped for release date for Duke of the Elderkin, Volume 3 of the Elderkin Chronicles is Winter 2025-2026.

Schedule changes

Needless to say, the original hoped for release dates did not happen: I decided on a more thorough revision of volume 1 before releasing it, and then life got complications. The complications are largely complete and the revision is now progressing nicely.

I hope to announce a new release schedule shortly.

We have been getting a lot of users signing up with no user names and with alphabet soup userids and passwords that look like they were generated by some kind of bot. I have deleted most of them. If this is Word Press being weird about subscriptions, please be sure to fill in the name field when you subscribe.

Elderkin Chronicles

Elsewhere across the multiverse… Young Prince Franz-Karl is the younger son of the younger son of an Emperor. He is also an Elderkin, descendant of Manifest Beings who may be Gods or Demons or merely Outsiders, depending on which philosopher or preacher or politician you ask.

In our world the Holy Roman Empire was famously neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire, and the turn of the 18th century was a time of upheaval and transformation, life and death, faith and betrayal. Franz-Karl’s home is not as different from all that as he might prefer, even before you consider the Binding effects of meddling by the Manifest and their Elderkin descendants.

Survival and freedom are not guaranteed, even for an Emperor’s grandson. After reports arrive of his Father’s death, they may not even be an option.
