Oh, I like Windows in the Sky, but you definitely want your title to be the first thing that comes up on a search. That's Wonderful news. I am really looking forward to it. No spoilers, obviously, but is this a conclusion, or do you plan for this to be a longer series? A few of your side characters are really strong (looking at you, Rook and Andreska). Do you struggle at all to keep them contained.
Andrew Monroe There will be three "standard" books, so two more to publish for the sequels on a Leaf and Pebble.

That said, I'm also really into Rook and Andreska, …moreThere will be three "standard" books, so two more to publish for the sequels on a Leaf and Pebble.

That said, I'm also really into Rook and Andreska, and will probably do one or two standalone novels that follow a side character or two. Right now, I'm leaning towards Rook :)

And definitely a struggle. It's tough lol.(less)

Hi. I really loved Leaf & Pebble. I was wondering why and how you chose the title of the book. Also, when can we expect book two?
Andrew Monroe Hi Robin, thanks for the question and love!

First, the title. It refers to Nil and Volant. I liked the idea of small objects representing them, and wood and stone seemed like excellent analogies for them. The actual title came from my girlfriend after I'd finished the book though.

Also, a little trivia. I'd originally titled it Windows in the Sky, but I come from a marketing background, and there was already a book and album named such, and I didn't want to compete :)

The second book should be out SOON. I'm working through the final draft currently. I'm hoping to release by the holidays this year (2022), but my day job has been exceptionally demanding for a while now. (less)

New Book Coming Out! (But not the one you were expecting)

TL;DR: DEAD BY TOMORROW BOOK RELEASE- 12/15/2020 (Click here for Amazon Pre-order)

Wow. I'm really inconsistent with blog posts.



BUT, since my last post/update, I've finished the first draft of book two of The Learner Trilogy, and am 1/3 of the way through on the second draft. It'll probably be February 2021 for the release, but either way, that's not what this post is about.



Here's what it's really
