Underland News: Ku, Book Removal, Side-story
Greetings Underlanders,
If you've followed Underland to its conclusion, then you know that I ended up limiting it to one volumedue to its lack of popularity and its impact on my Patreon; it was my hope to take the novel to Kindle in the hope that it might find a new audience there, at least enough to justify writing more entries in that universe.
Well, the Amazon launch day is approaching fast. I signed an agreement with the publisher Podium to bring that story to KU and Audible. However, Kindle Unlimited demands exclusivity on the platform.
As a result, Underland's volume I/first half - chapter 1 to 31 - will be removed somewhere between August 1 and 8 (the exact date will depend on the publisher and when I receive pre-order links) from both RR and Patreon besides a few early ones; though like Kairos before it, patrons can download a free PDF version of the ebooks before that date. The second half will follow shortly afterwards.
As you've been following and supporting the story for so long, I'm giving you an advance notice on that front.
I know that some of you are against Kindle Unlimited, and I perfectly understand why; it feels frustrating to follow a story only to see it taken down. If I could legally put Underland on KU without removing existing chapters down from RR, I would.
But as a professional author I've got to put meat on the table; I can only write full-time if I don't have to worry about paying the rent and currently, Underland does not. KU present a whole new audience that may or may not find Underland as entertaining as you did. If the novel does find success on that platform, then I might get around to writing a sequel to Valdemar and Marianne's journey.
On a more positive front, a patron commissioned me to write a short one-shot set in the Underland universe; namely Lord Bethor's rise to power. I've done the outlining and I hope to complete this side-story by August. Not sure whether I'll post it there in the main Underland story or as a separate story/short novella like I did with The Perfect Run: Bad Runs. If you have a preference don't hesitate to say so in the comments.
I wish you a good day, and write you soon.
Best regards,
Voidy.
