When I published "The Spiral and The Threads" back in 2024, it was a huge weight off my shoulders, having completed the last of the original seven books I'd planned as the "core" volumes for The Nod/Wells Timelines speculative-fiction literary universe.

Oddly enough, because I'd already started work on the first expansions in the form of "8: Tales of The Big Men from The Nod/Wells Timelines" and "The Nemesis Legacy," I never really felt "done" in spite of the huge sense of accomplishment reaching that milestone provided for me.

In a similar manner, with "8" published, and work on "The Nemesis Legacy" winding down, I still find myself busy as ever, with all sorts of projects remaining in the pipeline.

The first of those, a re-release of the novelette "Mr. Perkins Goes to Hell" will be hitting Amazon on October 3rd, 2025, with a snazzy new cover that will hopefully attract a plethora of new readers to The Timelines. Of course, those of you who already experienced that tale via Kindle Vella or as part of "The Spiral and The Threads" may not be particularly excited about this development but I've always felt Mr. Perkins' origin story had a lot of untapped potential as an initial experience akin to "Academic Displacement," so I'm very curious to see what comes of it, and eager to see it take its place on The Nod/Wells Timelines "value menu."

Next up in November of 2025 will be an omnibus edition, containing "The Big Men," "309," and "Shards." This will be the first time an ebook of "Shards" arrives anywhere other than Amazon, and the first time ebooks of "The Big Men" and "309" will be similarly obtainable in over five years. Again, I'm very excited and eager to provide such options despite remaining committed to keeping the individual books in KDP Select and available via Kindle Unlimited for  the foreseeable future.

Of course, "The Nod/Wells Timelines: Volume I" will be followed by various editions of "The Nemesis Legacy" in January and February of 2026. It's been absolutely thrilling putting that project together and I can hardly wait for everyone to experience it next year. I don't want to oversell it, but I honestly think it's one of the coolest and most fun things I've ever written. Moreover, I feel very confident that fans of The Timelines are almost certainly going to thoroughly enjoy it!

2026 will also see "The Nod/Wells Timelines: Volume II," which will include "The Nemesis Effect," "Big Man Down," and "500," and similarly make those ebooks more widely available for the first time ever.

Finally, in 2027, "The Nod/Wells Timelines: Volume III" will combine "The Spiral and The Threads," "8: Tales of The Big Men from The Nod/Wells Timelines," and "The Nemesis Legacy" to "complete" the omnibus editions. Later that year, I will be releasing an official compendium for The Timelines to mark my ten-year anniversary as an author. Needless to say, that is going to be a massive tome, containing extensive book and character profiles, "The Story Behind The Timelines," and several all-new Tales of The Big Men, as well as some other goodies and surprises.

All of that, and various other projects I'm not ready to talk about yet, are going to keep me very busy for the next few years but the good news is that there will be no shortage of content for fans of The Timelines, new and old, to experience.

Until next time, happy reading, everybody!
