Still no timeline, trust me, when I have one you won't have to search for it. This is the closest thing to an update, and even it is only a very rough idea: http://www.drewhayesnovels.com/blog/2...

You can read the whole reply in the FAQ (http://www.drewhayesnovels.com/faq/) but all series are assumed to be ongoing right now except for Super Powereds, which ends with Year 4. I promise, I'll be very clear in the books when a series has reached its final entry.

(view spoiler)[Have you considered (or are you already planning) what Brandon Sanderson is doing by setting each of your "standalone" series' in the same universe, where they will slowly collide together as part of the overall grand story? (hide spoiler)]
Drew Hayes
If I confirmed or denied, that would be spoilers, so I'll just have to say say no comment. :-D
Drew Hayes
I deal with this in the FAQ (http://www.drewhayesnovels.com/faq/) but the general rule is that unless I've said otherwise, you can assume a series in ongoing. Right now the only confirmed last book for a series is Super Powereds: Year 4, which will wrap that series. Fred #4 is written and with the publisher as we speak, so it should be out in 2017.

Technically speaking, you can read them in whatever order works best for you (the spin-offs, the main books obviously are in an order). I wrote Corpies and B&B to run parallel with SP, so you can read either without getting too much of a spoiler on anything big. That said, having talked with readers I think the most commonly preferred order is: Year 1 -> Year 2 -> Corpies -> Year 3 -> Year 4 (to current) -> Blades & Barriers.

This comes up a lot, so I added a long answer to the FAQ: http://www.drewhayesnovels.com/faq/
This question contains spoilers...
(view spoiler)[Where does Thistle recognize Fritz from? She is clearly not a simple sorceress who sells magical wares. Fritz learned at the end of the book where he recognized her, but I am still confused. Is it answered in the third book? Is there a clue that I can be point to that I might have missed that would clear this up for me?
I loved the two books and Im looking forward to the third book and the others you have written! (hide spoiler)]

Sorry, no spoilers :-)

Not sure how much more I can really do on that front. I have a page with all known release dates on my site (http://www.drewhayesnovels.com/events), put up the books for pre-order on Amazon, add listing here, talk about the impending releases on Twitter, and throw Digital Release Parties with live-feed and prizes on Facebook. I think I've hit all the big ones.

It came out in July 2016. Here's a link, hope you enjoy! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

No date on Year 4, since it's still so far from completion. Corpies isn't planned to have any sequels though. That's not to say the characters may not appear in future works, but Corpies was really a story about a very specific time in one character's life, and once that ended the tale of Corpies was complete.

Awesome, thanks for reading!

They are on there as we speak. Generally, the gap between book and audio is ~2-3 months since Tantor has to wait on my finished manuscript to start production, and doing this sort of schedule means I run tight deadlines. Trying to lessen that, though.
Drew Hayes
Many more. No set number yet, but there will be at least a few.
Drew Hayes
October 19th, which is already here, so I hope you like it!
Drew Hayes
I do, though rarely. As a small-time indie author I only get invited to so many signings and Cons. If you're in the Texas area, I'm planning on going to Comicpalooza 2017 in Houston, and I may do a con in Charlotte if all goes to plan.
Drew Hayes
Good choice. I also like the idea of Topher Grace in the part, he played nerd pretty well.
