Working on it! Just waiting for the graphic design for the cover to be finished. Sorry, no ETA -- my graphic designer has a full-time job and is doing me a favor by working on this whenever he can find the spare time.

Book 7 is will be the end of Arcane Ascension itself, but there will be more books in the same setting in the future.

(view spoiler)[I know that This isn't a question , but seeing that since karas it would be really cool if you tied him in to the six secret swords series. ? (hide spoiler)]
Andrew Rowe
Not quite sure what you're saying here, sorry! Looks like part of the message might have gotten lost. But Keras is in most of my books, including Six Sacred Swords, and I hope to have more books with him soon!

Audible handles that whole system, but I'm not aware of any reason why credits would not be usable.

That sounds like an error in how Kindle is presenting it to you.
It's probably a result of the fact that the Kindle version is already out, but Audible isn't.
So, for clarity, it's out on Kindle, but audio is out on the 8th as Audible says.

I had a pretty unusual experience with school. I had a sleep disorder growing up, which made it very difficult to handle early morning classes. I was very lucky to have support from my parents, and I tested out of high school at a young age to go to college early. Once I was in college and could pick my own hours and classes, I had a much better time.
Andrew Rowe
I don't have a solid date for audio yet, but it's usually around 6 months.

Good questions.
1. I haven't made a firm decision on a perspective for any WoBM sequels yet. There's a good chance I'll do a mixture between a frame story and a main story with different perspectives, but we'll see.
2. Salaris was his earliest name and the one I identify with the most for the character, but I think Keras sounds better aloud, and I tend to use it more often.

I'm not looking for more beta readers right now, but thank you for asking!

(view spoiler)[Did Hugh Stormward just make an appearance in AA4? (hide spoiler)]
Andrew Rowe
Sure did. =) I have cameos in several books. They're not canonically set in the same universe or anything, it's just a cameo.
Andrew Rowe
I'm not sure what you mean by "ideas". If you mean recommendations for existing books, I'd recommend John Bierce's books, Tobias Begley's books, Will Wight's books, and Sarah Lin's books.

Likely around July for Kindle and somewhere around the end of the year for audible.
This question contains spoilers...
(view spoiler)[In the arcane accension books it was indicated that no unrestricted attunements have access to transference and perception, but the wave walker seems to have both. Is it just that the wave walkers cannot access the time domain? (hide spoiler)]
Andrew Rowe
Good question.
The book Corin is reading in AA2 is only going over primary and secondary mana pairings, not tertiary mana types. Perception is a tertiary, only available at Citrine-level and above, and outside the scope of what the book is talking about. So, the book is a little misleading.
That said, even with access to transference and perception at Citrine, the attunement doesn't have the functions necessary to create time mana. (Notably, reaching dominions is another story entirely -- attunements don't work like dominion sorcery. That's talked about more in AA3 and AA4.)

This question contains spoilers...
(view spoiler)[I imagine this might be a RAFO question and I totally understand if you can't answer but a friend and I were debating about this so I thought I would just ask. (Spoilers Ahead for AA) Would Corin have been able to change Magnus' attunement to any other attunement, or was he only able to change it to an enchanter attunement because he has spent so much time studying nearly every aspect of it and the sub-glyphs within? (hide spoiler)]
Andrew Rowe
This answer contains spoilers…
(view spoiler)[He could have only changed it to Enchanter or Arbiter. He didn't have time to actually manually change or check everything -- he basically just copied and pasted one of his attunements sub-glyphs and overwrote the originals. This is also why it was so much faster than his tests; he wasn't reading it or checking for errors, just copy/paste. (hide spoiler)]

Aiming for sometime next year. There is no release date yet.

Sorry, they're mostly on Amazon for now, since I'm a primarily an indie author and participate in Kindle Select.
Yes, I have plans for more of Lydia in the future. =)

Hey, thanks for the question. I self-publish the Kindle and paperback versions directly through Amazon, so they're pretty much the only place to get those.
There was a Kickstarter for premium hardcovers, which is through a different publisher, but that Kickstarter is over. You may be able to get the hardcovers through an add-on for another Kickstarter by that publisher, such as the Mother of Learning Kickstarters, but it'll probably be a while before they actually ship.
So, unless you want to spring for a hardcover and wait (which is a big investment and I don't really recommend it if you're not an existing fan), Amazon is your best bet. Aside from that, there are some other places you can get the paperback, but they'd be through Amazon's expanded distribution and I'd get a lower share.

Thanks for the fast response! I have ordered the paperback version from Amazon and can't wait to get back into the story. I found your book through a friend loaning me Mother of Learning and seeing your book on the the volume 2 kickstarter when I found it so good I had to procure my own copies. Looking forward to a great start of my journey through your literary world.
