Kingdoms in Chaos now available!




Well it has been fifteen months since I published Whill of Agora 4, and I am happy to announce that Book 5 is here. I had been writing about Whill and the crew for about 10 years and needed a little break from that story line. I've since released The Windwalker Archive Books 1 & 2, as well as Afterworld and Blackthorn Rising. After a long break it was really fun to write about Whill and the other characters again. Book 5 is now available, and so far the reviews are phenomenal. I'm already hard at work on Book 6, and Book 7 won't be far behind. Considering that Whill of Agora was intended to be a trilogy, it amazes me how far the story has come. It continues to surprise and excite me at every turn, and I hope it does you as well.

Here are the links to the various venues.

Audio Book Kickstarter

Legends of Agora Audio Book Kickstarter




Hello Everyone,

I've just launched a Kickstarter to help fund my audio book project. My goal is to raise enough funds to have the entire Legends of Agora collection turned into audio books. I've added some great value to the incentives, such as 3 eBooks for a $10 pledge ($15 value), and many others. If you are interested in helping to get this project off the ground, check it out at the link below.

Hope to see you there!

Blackthorn Rising postponed until June 18


    

 

Hello,
For personal reasons I've postponed Blackthorn Rising until June 18th. If you've pre-ordered the book you needn't worry, it will be delivered promptly to your kindles on the new release date. I apologize for making you all wait another month, but I promise it will be worth it. When the book comes out in June, it will be a much more enjoyable reading experience than it would have been had I rushed the process.

Thanks for bearing with me.

Michael Ploof

P.S.
I wanted to offer up my thanks to all my loyal fans. The Whill of Agora bundle made it to #144 on the USA Today Bestsellers list this week, and I couldn't have done it without all your help. I greatly appreciate your continued support.

Whill 5 Cover Reveal


Cover Reveal!
Whill of Agora

Book 5

Kingdoms in Chaos



They say don't judge a book by its cover, but in this case, please do...

The artist Durrrrian (yes 4 r's) created this beautiful rendition of Whill on his throne. If you would like to see more of his work you can check him out at Deviant Art.

It's hard to imagine that it's been almost a year since the last Whill of Agora book came out. After finishing A Crown of War in January 2014 I needed a break from Whill & Co. I'd been writing about them since 2003, and while it was a blast, I had a lot of other stories begging to be told. I've since written Talon 1 & 2, The Orion Rezner Chronicles, and Blackthorn Rising. On December 26, I decided that it was time for the next chapter in the Whill of Agora saga. I'm happy to say that Kingdoms in Chaos is coming along well, and will be released later this year.

Until then, you can still pre-order Blackthorn Rising for 40% off release day price. It will be available on May 19.

USA Today bestseller!!




We did it!


Thanks to all the support of our great fans, and the endless hours of hard work by the many authors involved, FIERCE has hit #94 on the USA Today bestseller list. We thought it might be a close call, and have been biting our nails since Sunday night waiting for the list to be posted for the current week. Yesterday night fellow author Daniel Arenson posted this pic, and I nearly fell out of my chair.



Being a part of this bundle has been an incredible learning experience. This profession can be a lonely one, and it has been awesome working with and getting to know so many great authors. I would like to thank everyone involved, namely Terah Edun and K.j.Colt. They've proven not only once, but twice, that they have what it takes to put together a bestselling bundle. I'm constantly impressed by their organizational skills and marketing prowess. I expect nothing but great things for these Fierce ladies of literature. :)

*FIERCE will be on sale for .99 until March 31.*
