Will Books 3 - 7 of The Capes Online Series be coming to audible? I loved the first 2 and wanted to continue but they are not yet on audible. The Narration by Joe Hempel is Top Notch and amazing.

Hi, Bryan! Very glad to hear you've enjoyed the Capes Online audiobooks. I agree that Joe's narration really brings the story to life and am lucky to have him as my narrator.
Unfortunately, while I would love to get the whole series into audio, the first two books did not perform quite as well as we expected, financially-speaking. That makes it harder for us to do the audiobooks, especially on Joe's end, because we are doing a royalty split plan rather than an upfront payment per book, so whether he gets paid is dependent on how well the books sell.
This doesn't mean that the other four books will NEVER come to audio, but right now, it doesn't look very likely. Best I can tell you is to leave good reviews on both audiobooks and recommend the existing audiobooks to friends and family so they can buy it, which will give us added incentive to get Books 3-7 out there.
But if you really love Joe's narration and my books, I'm launching a Kickstarter at the end of the month (May 30th, to be exact) to raise funds for my first superhero book, "The Superhero's Test." It's not LitRPG, but if you love superheroes and Joe's narration, then you'll definitely love this audiobook.
