Royal Road
Guess what guys, reviews are in! Annnnndd...
Well, uh...
Look, I know my grammar is bad. Half the time, I can't even spell grammar correctly. What is good is that I'll be looking for more input from readers on future stories.
How are we going to do that?
I'm working on posting the entirety of Book One of Grimstone on Royalroad.com! It's a website for posting stories. Read chapters on the go! It's also free! Go check it out if you're interested!
My deal with Kindle Unlimited ends on December 9th, which means I can post the novel up then. I do have several finished drafts of novellas and an urban fantasy called Duck and Wolf that I'm working on putting up on the website in the meantime!
As for Chosen by the Blade, it will be free for the first five days of October. At least the kindle edition will be. So that's what we'll be working on next. After that, I will probably have a sale towards Halloween. Please look forward to it!

September Update
So what is on the agenda for the month of September, and what is there left to be done?
First of all, editing. Lots and lots of editing.
Did you know that the Grimstone Series may possibly have nine total books, and books 1-6 have already been completed? Months ago, in fact over a year ago. Drafts for 7 and 8 are already done, and more finalized revisions need to be made, but we're getting there!
So why no Book 2 yet?
Because it's massive. Absolutely massive. There's twists, and turns, dozens of new characters, and I want to make sure it isn't overly overwhelming. I look forward to being able to introduce you all to the rest of the knights and squires of Braytons!
We are aiming at the end of October, but it may take longer, it may be sooner, but it will get done eventually. Until then, I've got another novel that I have in the works. It's not Grimstone, but it's something that I wrote in 2013 as part of National Novel writing month. The spooky things are perfect for October, and I'm hoping to make it free for a limited time then.
But it's also still getting edited.
We'll get there. It'll be good though. Please look forward to it. I'll be posting another update in two weeks with better news. By then I'll have a better idea of when Book 2 will be out.
You want a hint though?
It's called Martyr of the Mist.
See you all in another two weeks!

A Big Thank You!
The Goodreads giveaway ended yesterday. 291 people entered, but only 100 winners were selected. I'd like to thank everyone who entered. I hope to hear from any of you who stumble upon this blog, and even more so, have good reviews?
Is it bad to ask for reviews of any kind? I'm new at this, I apologize.
It's more important to me that you enjoy the story! Let me know if you do!

Welcome to the blog!
Back in November of 2016, I finished the novel, Grimstone: Chosen by the Blade.
I'm proud to announce that it has finally be published. Err... Well, actually, it was published back in March. Self published, actually, on Amazon, but I am now proud to announce that I can finally start promoting the book!
What's it all about?
The Grimstone Series follows a group of squire on their adventure to become knights. There's magic! There's sword fighting! There are entrance exams! What more can you ask for?! Romance? Ghosts? An adorable little mute blacksmith? We've got those too!
Where can you get yourself a copy?
Like Ebooks? Check it out on Amazon! It's FREE if you have Kindle Unlimited! Want to pay for it, it's $2.99! Don't want to pay for it? Check out Goodreads! I'm currently working on running a contest there where you can win a free copy. I will make another blog post when that happens, so be sure to check it out!
Prefer paperback? It's still on Amazon! Whaaaat? Get out of here, that's amazing! Only $7.99? Are you making any royalties off that? Not really! But go ahead and buy it anyways! Leave a 5 star review! Because it's an amazing book! (If you ignore the minor grammatical details, please ignore the minor grammatical details, I'm sorry, I'm terrible at this self publishing thing).
Want to contact me? You can ask me questions directly using my author page on Goodreads. You can tweet me @AdelaideGWest on Twitter! You can even possibly use this blog if that's more your thing! The possibilities are nearly endless, or more specifically, they end at these three options. Sorry.
