Why are the books short?

​

Believe it or not, it's intentional. The Ascension Series is written in fast-paced, serial "novelette" style. Each book will run between 25-50k (roughly 150-250 pages); hence the price of only $2.99 per book.

​

 

cliffhangers? really?

​

The Ascension Series is a six-part story arc. That means not every installment will have a neatly wrapped beginning-middle-end. Think of it as your favorite television drama - sometimes we're left with more questions than answers, while other times we feel fully satisfied while awaiting the next part of the story.  And while I wish I could release a new book every week, it's not realistic. The good news is you'll only wait a month or so for each new installment! Preorders for the following book will be available as well.

​

​

BUT WHYYYYYY?

 

When a friend asked me about this concept I had, to release shorter installments in a faster sequence, she warned me that readers expected longer books in this genre. (I've certainly received this feedback from some). But while I was toying with plots and mapping character arcs, I realized why this format felt so natural. It reminded me of my youth reading graphic novels, and of my love for leaner writing style. No unnecessary words is my goal.

​

​

Can you make the books cheaper?

 

For less than the price of a latte, you're getting 50+ hours of my top efforts per book coupled with professional editing and proofreading, which (I hope) provides you with a bubble of escape and immersion in an exciting new world. 

 

On the other hand, I get it. I really do understand. And I have some good news for those of you who want to read but can't reconcile the price point: Books 1-3 and 4-6 are now available in boxsets, which will give you a price break.

​

​

can I get a glossary?

​

Sure thing! Here you go. The glossary will be updated with each book and first appears in volume four: Rebirth.

​

​

will there be spinoffs?

​

Maybe. For now, though, the focus is Fiona's journey.
