Aspiring author, fantasy nerd, some cool third thing

It is with great pleasure that I get to announce that my book is beginning distribution for preorders!

The Shattered Realm; book 1 of the Edge of Yggdrasil series will be available on November 6th, 2026 at most major retailers!

The longer I go, the more it's apparent that I haven't published before.

Didn't realize approvals and distribution take about a month apparently.

Still on pace for this year though, and my second WIP just passed 100k words, so at least things are moving!

@AuthorGFAllen It's called being an author.

[Author-Joshua Shearer @eoyauthor]

So, I know I've been pretty silent on here lately, had some stuff to sort out, but I am happy to announce that I'm finalizing the publication of my first book this month!
No date set yet other than in September, but I will post a follow-up as soon as it's live.

You know, I really want to post regularly, answer questions and things like that.

Only problem is, it's hard to do that when nobody talks to you.

Nearly 2000 words on my WIP.

After so long without much progress, it feels good to be out of the rut, at least a little bit.

@Charlie_Novels I have mine set up, but it's mostly cause it came with the writing site I use. lol

[Author-Joshua Shearer @eoyauthor]

@Charlie_Novels New author, have a book coming out soon(ish).
It's called The Shattered Realm, and it's been a passion project of mine for a while now.
Hope it finds its audience.

[Author-Joshua Shearer @eoyauthor]

Honestly really tricky to be active here without going too far one way or the other.
Post too often=must be a bot
Post too little=must not be all that interesting
And trying to find that middle ground while working a job and kids?
Good luck.

Does anyone else have certain songs they listen to for certain scenes they write?
Like listening to the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack while writing a heartwarming moment for example.
Any others?

Well, I'm now one step closer.

Today I created my author website, maybe not much to speak of right now, but it's kind of a big deal to me.
Really happy to share it with you all, hope to keep it updated soon!

Been waiting for almost 3 months for the copyright at this point...long enough to finish 4 different games and backlog another.

Oh well, at least I have edits on my second WIP to keep me busy...

@SDDonovan "How many times do I have to tell you!?" Aaron fumed. "I don't care how busy it gets, using heat vision to cook the meat is not up to code!"

James shrugged, the smell of stale cigarettes on his uniform.
"It's done, ain't it?"

Aaron narrowed his eyes. "Until state catches you."

Trying to stay somewhat active on here; kinda hard to do when you're socially awkward, even through the whole "through a screen" thought process.

That being said, I do hope to have more updates on my book soon.

I really can't wait to see what people think about it.

Be me:

Waiting to hear back on copyright.
Get email from Copyright office.

Super excited.

Open it.

"This is a reminder to change your password by June 2nd."

No further explanation.

Why? Just. Why?

[Author-Joshua Shearer @eoyauthor]

Busy-ish night, but still got some writing done. Plus actually getting to see how much I've done this whole month kinda makes me feel like I'm actually making progress.
Hopefully this actually can get out there, instead of staying stuck in my head. #writing #writingcommunity

[Author-Joshua Shearer @eoyauthor]

Not the most productive night, but hey, 1,000 words is 1,000 words.

I'll take it.

@SDDonovan I've only currently been working on one genre for my WIPs, but I've had a few other fun ideas I'd like to play around with when I finish this one. Namely so I don't get a couple wires crossed.
