Hi Frederik- thank you for the message. The confusion lays in the way Goodreads formats the edition and page numbers next to each other. (2, 350) The page number is accurately show as 350 and the " 2, " you see before the 350 it referencing that it is a 2nd edition. Hope that helps clarify things. Cheers!

Hi Nina, thank you so much for reaching out to me. Since I signed with OfTomes Publishing back in Oct 2015, all copies of the first editions of both Rising and Ashes have been pulled from the market. OfTomes will be re-releasing New World Ashes (book 2) on January 5th, 2017. I apologize for the the the long wait, but promise it will be well worth it.

I am currently writing like mad on the next book in the NEW WORLD series, NEW WORLD: ASHES. Trust me, you won’t want to miss it.

I generally get flashes of scenes— a girl on a rooftop, an action-packed fight sequence or an impassioned kiss. From there, my mind melds around these moments and a basic plot begins to develop. As the plot matures, so do my characters. I tend to have a really loose technique when it comes to writing. I always have an idea of where my story is going, but often the journey getting there is just as unexpected for me as it is for my readers. I jot notes on everything and anything within reach when inspiration strikes, old receipts, paper bags, or on my hand. I find these moments of epiphany are where some of my best ideas originate—not forced but inspired.

Push forward. Writing can be tedious, and it is easy to get caught up in what you have already written. My best advice is to keep moving forward. The first book I wrote, I continually read and re-read chapters I had already written instead of moving the storyline forward. I constantly got stuck. For my second book, I just kept writing. If there was something I wanted to add or re-write I took a side note to go back once I was done. The whole process seemed to flow much better that way.
Also, don’t give up. Getting your book out there is a long and drawn-out process. It can be discouraging at times and downright crushing at others. For every one person who is willing to say yes to your book, there are fifty that will say no. Remember— that’s okay! Some of the world’s most renowned authors were rejected by dozens of agents before getting a yes and some of them even self-published their first books. If writing is really what you want to do, don’t give up. Some of the best books came from authors who were too strong-minded to take no for an answer.
Lastly, write because you love it. Not to make money or to be famous, write because you’re passionate. Because if you’re passionate, it won’t matter what anyone else says, you are doing something you love and that’s more important than a stranger’s opinion.

Hi Mychah,
New World: Rising is currently available on Amazon.com in both print and digital format, and on Createspace.com in print.
I am currently working with several local bookstores to get it on their shelves and hopefully Barnes and Noble later this year. I will, of course, update the availability of each sales location as they become available.
Hope that helps!
Thanks!
