A Kid Sensation Novel
Jim (aka Kid Sensation) counts himself fortunate in that his friends have always been there for him, and he – in turn – tries to be there for them. That’s why it is with a great deal of enthusiasm that he looks forward to attending an event honoring his friend, the teen warlock Kane. However, his plans are immediately complicated by two factors.
First, an emissary from the nigh-omnipotent group of beings known as Incarnates unexpectedly appears on his doorstep. It is an arrival that, while not unwelcome, introduces a certain amount of unpredictability and chaos in his life.
In addition – and of much greater concern – his friendly visit with Kane is utterly derailed by a mysterious and deadly force that attacks randomly…and with murderous intent.
Focused on keeping the body count from rising, Jim quickly realizes that he is dealing with an adversary capable of destroying the entire world – and determined to do so. Even worse, it also becomes apparent to Jim that this enemy is beyond his ken, and even his vaunted super powers may not be enough to avert the global cataclysm that is coming.
great book. halfway through it and i’m already loving it!!!
As always, I love it when readers say they’re enjoying my books! On the topic of Jim’s history, I assume you mean things that may have happened prior to the action in the first Kid sensation book. There are some fun things I can do with that, but to be honest I’ve been more focused on how to interweave stories about Older Jim – when he’s in his 20s and beyond. The problem is that there’s so much I can still do with teenage Jim, but I think I may have a solution, although I don’t want to spill the beans yet. Regarding the Carver book, I probably mentioned before that it’s in the queue, but – like several others – doesn’t have a firm publication date yet. Hmmm…might be worth posting an update on my blog.
Has there been any update on the audio book? Love your work.
Thanks for the kind words about my work. Right now, my narrator has the audiobook for Conjuration on his schedule and it’s slated to be completed by August 20th. Of course, I’ll still have to review it, but assuming I can do so quickly (and get any issues addressed swiftly), I’m hoping to submit it within a couple of days after that. At that juncture, it’s in the hands of ACX/Audible, who – despite issues in the recent past with audiobook releases – say that any title that meets submission requirements will be made available within 10 business days.
Long story short, I’m hoping the audiobook will be available by the first week of September.
When’s the expected release date for book 10?
I don’t have a release date per se, but the truth is that I’m behind on the writing. I had intended to have Book 10 out a while ago. That said, I’m working on it, but to be fair Warden 4 is first in the queue (although it’s almost done). The publication process typically involves me writing the book, my editor doing her thing, and then my follow-up analysis/incorporation of my editor’s comments. In short, it’s makes predicting a release date a little tricky, unless a pick a date far enough into the future that everything is certain to be done, but that throws a wrench in my plans to release titles as soon as possible. Readers have historically said that getting the book asap is more important, so the trade-off is less certainty in terms of a release schedule.
