JANUARY 2025

LONG LIVE THE WIZARD KING

For those who don’t know, 2025 is a rather special year when it comes to the Wizard King Trilogy. We’ll be looking at the five year anniversary of the series, which got its start in September of 2020 with relase of Return of the Wizard King.

Launched during the height of the whole pandemic mess it initially got lost in the shuffle, but managed to soldier on during the ensuing months, garnering sales and some notice amid the local area and eventually region (and then beyond). Add in two additional titles with their own nearly back-to-back releases the following year and things kept moving forward.

It hasn’t always been easy—there were and remain various challenges in the path that have had to be overcome—but by the grace of God and the support and help of readers and fans (and many, many kind booksellers and stores) we’ve been able to see the series not only remain in print this half decade but even enjoying some reprints along the way.

To celebrate this milestone—the first for this author for any of his titles—all of 2025 I’ll be working with the publishers (print and audio) to help spread the word and see about offering some deals and special promos along with sharing posts across my social media (and elsewhere) with the idea to provide some flashbacks and focus on the series for both reader/fan enjoyment while enticing those who have yet to check out the series to give it a go.

So it’s going to be a busy next few months, which I’m looking forward  to celebrating with you all. Keep your eyes peeled and make sure you’re signed up to at least one of my social channels and/or the newsletter to stay abreast of these posts and other happenings taking place throughout 2025.
