Manifest Destiny - Wolfhounds Book 5
Discussions on my writing, my books, related activities, and where I respond to questions.
No, there isn't much here on Lion Taming, unless of course you ask.
It's live and here's the link:

Check it out!
As hopefully all of you know, next week I'm going to launch yet another kickstarter - this one for book 10 in Valens Heritage. Which will close out that series.
I need reward levels for it still. I also need add-ons. (My recent substack post also mentions this).
I've got three rewards currently:
Two Add-ons:
And that's pretty much -IT-.
Obviously I need some more ideas and suggestions, please!
That's right! It funded yesterday on Christmas - a nice touch to be honest.
As of this post, it's got 40 minutes left and is almost $1000 past the goal.
So I need to finish Wolfhounds 5 ASAP (almost done)
Write POI #12
Then Dan's Inferno V
Then the second book in the Wolfhounds Spin-Off trilogy (Valley of Fire)
THEN write the first book in the Wolfhounds follow on series.
Oh, and I think I need to sleep in there somewhere - and write the sequel to Sometimes in the Fall.
In other news I seem to have gotten nominated for an award?
It would appear that the Audiobook version of 'Force Majeure' is up for 'Best SciFi Audiobook' on the 'Discover Sci-Fi' website.
On the Second Page of the selections, 'War Child' has been nominated for 'Best Military SciFi'!
I have no idea how big the DSF awards are
(The publishing company for my audiobooks contacted me, so apparently it has
some standing), but I'd appreciate it, if you'd all go vote for me.

Portals Of Infinity books One thru Seven go on Sale Today on Amazon!
Yes, my first Best-Selling Series, the one that revived Portal Fiction over a decade ago, and also helped start the current interest in Harem stories (and was considered LitRPG at first because it was based very much on tabletop – but there’s no stats or charts, just discussions on ‘rules’) is On Sale!
Starting today (at Noon, Amazon time – no I’m not sure when that is!) until the 28th, the first four books (Champion For Hire, The God Game, Temples & Trials, The Sea of Grass) will be on sale for 99 cents!
Books Five thru Seven (Demigods and Deities, Reprisal, Kaiju), will be On Sale for $1.99!
Don’t miss it! Read the stories that helped launch two of the biggest genres that you’re all reading today!
(Note: Yes, there will be more POI books, I just got delayed on writing book #12 due to life events this year – and Wolfhounds)

It's got 6 days left to run, and still needs $6K. Less than 200 people kicked in.
It's probably safe to say that there wasn't the interest that I was led to believe by folks.
Just a reminder to everyone!
Sometimes In The Fall is currently available as an 'eARC' on Baen Books website.
What's an eARC? It's an electronic Advanced Reader's Copy. It hasn't gone to press yet and may still have a typo or three in it. But you can see it now instead of waiting until March, if you want to.

This is for the Dan's Inferno, Book V : Dominance Kickstarter
I have created 2 (Two) add-ons for those who are interested!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnvanstry/dans-inferno-book-v-dominance-ebook-audio-and-print
The Kickstarter for Dan's Inferno, Book V: Dominance is now ONE THIRD Funded!!
That's right, we're one third of the way there and quickly closing in on Half!
I will be offering some new add ons later in the week, as I work through some of the plot in my spare time. First will be villian slots - there will be at least three villians in this story (who will die, horribly I'm sure) as well as a number of just hanger's on and henchmen.
Those spots will be offered if you want to be one of them! (Villains won't be cheap, but then they never are, are they?) Henchmen, eh, not so much...
I may even offer a spot as a demon or two later on. And of course once we draw closer to the goal, I'll start offering stretch goals, which will be short stories for those Zoo Level and above.
So keep an eye on this space!
