    PERSONAL UPDATE







    Welcome back once again to the podcast. It’s Sunday, July 24, 2022 as I record this, episode 28 overall and the first episode of season 2! We chatted a bit before the episode began today, so I’m going to jump right into our analysis section.







    ANALYSIS: PROLOGUE







    Listen to the week’s episode to hear D. T. Kane discuss the prologue of Declaimer’s Discovery, including:







    * The prologue’s opening line: “Reading Books can get you killed, Stephan.” Sound familiar?* Who is this Stephan character?* Rings connected by chains on each finger* Colored robe* Able to Read and Write? (Duke Joseef says “I have kept your secret”)* Teaching a Reader to Scribe* Doesn’t seem to know what a Harbour is* Where are we? Somewhere we have yet to go in the Spoken Books universe!* The “role” Stephan has “assumed”* Legislation to give Speakers a day of rest* “Men can only take so much before they begin to resist.”* Scrivnic Dogma* The True Path?* Stephen says he’s been trying to subtly influence events, but already meddled too much, won’t stop the Speakers* What frightens Stephan?* What does Stephan find outside the Duke’s chambers?* What happened to his Harbour?

    PERSONAL UPDATE







    Welcome back to the book club! Today is Sunday, August 14, 2022 as I record this, episode 4 of season 2 of the podcast, and episode 31 overall.







    My big news this week is I got my draft of Declaimer’s Stand out to my Advance Readers and editor. I’ve still been tweaking a few things myself as well, mostly just tightening up some language and correcting a few stray typos. It’s amazing that no matter how many times I read something, those pesky mistakes still make their way through. I found four misspellings of the word “soldier” the other day. *Eyeroll* Ah well.







    As I noted in my newsletter this week, I had a lovely time visiting some family on Long Island last weekend. There are few things I enjoy more than Long Island pizza and bagels, and I got my fill of both!

    PERSONAL UPDATE







    Welcome back to D. T. Kane’s Epic Fantasy Book Club. Today is Sunday, August 28, 2022 as I record this, Episode 6 of Season 2, and Episode 33 overall.







    Well, last week I admitted lying to you all and that I was still doing edits on Declaimer’s Stand, Part 4 of the Spoken Books Uprising. Well, I’m now done! All I have left to do is wait for my editor to get me her edits and then it’s off to the presses! Start getting excited for release day, September 16.







    As for future plans, I don’t think I’m going to have another book release this year. I might have the next one written before year’s end, but I’m not going to be able to line up my editor in time. Never to fear, though! That just means I’ll be able to release two books relatively quickly at the beginning of 2023, as I’ll just launch right into drafting Part 6 once I’ve completed Part 5 and am waiting for editing. Part 5 is actually a bit of a smaller story too, so it should be relatively quick to write. It’s a bit of a side quest if you will,

Amazing!

I’m loving this podcast! For someone who doesn’t have time to read this is an amazing format where I can still enjoy a fantastic fantasy story. I love the concept of this new fantasy world and enjoy the memorable characters. I also really appreciate the discussion section because it reiterates things I may have missed and I gain a deeper understanding of the world and characters straight from the author. Highly recommend!

Unique way to listen

I really like this format as I have wanted to read this book but not been able to squeeze it in yet. Now I get the benefit of not only listening to the author read the story but I get to hear an in depth analysis of what we are reading, how we got there and what is planned for down the road. 12 books holy crap I am in for a long ride but I buckled in and ready.
