《RE: Monarch》Amazon Announcement + QnA

Announcement + QnA + Title Change
I've been holding onto this for a while.
So I’ve hinted at it several times, and outright said it once or twice, but today’s chapter marks the end of Monarch Book 2. Book 2 you ask, what happened to Monarch Book 1?
Monarch, A Progression Fantasy Series
Book 1: Covers everything from Ignis I to the end of Enclave.
A highly edited version is now up for pre-order on Amazon and the series is signed through Aethon for three books. Obviously pre-order and give me money if you want, but if you want to wait, it will be up on Kindle Unlimited at release. An Audiobook Version narrated by the unbelievably talented Luke Daniels should go up simultaneously, so if you want to hear some of Cairn’s rants and speeches rather than read them, keep an eye out for that. I know I’m excited to hear Luke go crazy with the material.
Because it’s going up on KU, I will have to take those chapters down sometime late March, so early warning that’s coming in around a month.
So what does this mean for the average RR reader? Not much, really. Other than the fact that Monarch is basically guaranteed to continue, as it’s signed, I’ll still be uploading chapters here on RR as we go.
I quit my job six months ago to work on writing full-time. I’ve been working on Monarch for more than a year, even during the hiatuses. So, I’m taking short break from actively posting chapters to outline and plan Monarch Book III. It’s going to be a big story, but also a deeply personal one for Cairn, with a lot of plot points from book I and II coming to a head in a new setting. So I want to get it right.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting me through one of the craziest periods of my life.
If you want to check on something I’ll be working on for fun in the meantime:
Double-Blind here on RR.
Modern apocalypse LITRPG story with my tone/voice and some extra sass on the side. Squid Game/Code Geass/Solo-leveling influence. And of course, all the character work you’re used to. It's been a lot of fun being able to make modern references and taking a poke at the LITRPG genre
Happy to answer any questions you have. May take me a minute, but I’ll get to them all.
Monarch will return.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel (An Irreverent Fanfiction)
Fates Parallel is a gripping cultivation story, following the adventures of a half-spirit girl with nothing as she grows both as a cultivator and as a person after arriving at the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial and Arcane Arts. It features fleshed-out, believable characters, wonderful world-building that informs the course of the plot, and girls who hold hands. Fates Parallel is a very good story, and you should read it! Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek look at this same world from a different angle, following a totally regular girl who brings bad luck with her wherever she goes. It features shallow, joke-name characters, a focus on the least interesting parts of a fantastic world, and girls who hold hands (potentially). Jingyi Bo is in Fates Parallel is an amazingly hilarious (so says me) fanfiction and you should read it! (This is a Totally Author Approved Spin-Off (Fanfiction) for Fates Parallel, which you can find in a number of places including here on RoyalRoad! Please do read it!)
