In the next few weeks we'll be seeing the release of The Order of the Sleepwalker.

This is a book that I originally wrote while a Junior in high school, at about 17-years old.

I had written books prior to this, but none at such a scale or length. This will be my largest published book to date.

Originally, upon finishing the book a year later, I had sought out literary agents to get it published. After multiple submissions, I realized it was getting nowhere.

I looked into independently publishing it, like I had done with some short stories. I successfully did so and had some printed copies made for friends and family. But I didn't opt for wider distribution.

Instead, I began writing more stories. I wrote The Detective Games, which shares some characters with The Order of the Sleepwalker.

I looked back at The Order of the Sleepwalker and thought I could do better. So I began a rewrite called Project Ordine. It's been delayed a few times, in the midst of life events and needing to reread and overhaul most of the original story.

Project Ordine is no longer a simple rewrite. While sharing many similarities, it has diverged with key plot points and characters.

I decided to give The Order of the Sleepwalker another try. I did a release without much fanfare under a pseudonym that I've used before.

It was well received. And so, I decided to give it a wide release. The Order of the Sleepwalker is preserved much like it was when teenage Zechariah wrote it. Only with some light edits.

As I mentioned before, there's other stories like this, ones that have never been published before. However, I think those will need full rewrites before publication, or heavy editing.

That said, there's more to come!

The Order of the Sleepwalker is almost here. The release date is July 15th at most online retailers, and it's already available to order in paperback at most physical retailers.

Thank you for your support! It's a privilege to share this early work of mine, and I hope it is enjoyed.

Until next time,
Zechariah
