What about The Folded Earth?

I found this from a reader. Frankly, I was surprised to see it. I've been feeling few people are interested in my books -- or any person-written books -- which led me to focus on artwork. I guess I made a mistake....

I think what was most disheartening for me was a lack of any communication with my readers. It's actually very hard to put hours, weeks, even years into writing with little response. For example, I get one vacation a year. I remember writing frantically so that the night I was to go back to work, I could publish a book. My whole vacation had been dedicated to that one moment and nothing else. I felt happy, because I'd so badly wanted to get another book out that year, but it warred with the crestfallen undercurrent that came with the realization I had 4 to 6 hours left of time not dedicated to productivity. I was overworked, and it seemed I never came out of the quiet room where I worked invisibly, with no one to talk to about the fruits of that labour. I believed readers were ready for something I couldn't bring them as well -- the dawn of AI novels with their lightning speed seemed like a graceful exit for me at the time. I wrote Cardinal Machines book 1 in 7 days. I wasn't sure I could go any harder than that novel. I followed with 4 more Cardinal books that year too. With a fulltime job, I wrote in carpools, I wrote into the night, when I was riding my exercise bike, yep, I wrote, pacing my home? Yep. I wrote (I have a walking desk). What I didn't do... was talk to anyone. I was alone. Alone with my characters and my plans... but alone. Then, when I launched, it was in silence. That took a toll on me. It's funny, though, how looking back can propel you forward. Upon finishing the 6th book in a series I'm hoping to Kickstart (the series hasn't been edited for a through-line yet and is quite drafty!), I was already thinking about Cardinals, and the King. When did I finish this 6-book, Urban Fantasy / post-apocalyptic series? Well. Yesterday. No, I'm serious! Yesterday! And this was on the heels of my finally winning Illustrators of the Future, heading to Hollywood, picking up a trophy and cash-prize, and seeing my illustrations published in a Bestseller!

Nomsa and The Jump from the award-winning stories "Thickly" (Dorothy DeKok) and "Shell Game" (Zach Poulter).

So now I have a Bestseller on my Amazon bookshelf. And, today, I stumbled into a letter from one of my dearest readers asking about the fate (irony) of The Folded Earth series? Would there be a next one? I just finished drafting an entire series. This one:

Tips to what I'm writing (Urban Fantasy) and where (Hoshino) I also finally made it to 10K followers on Twitter! For me that's absolutely amazing! And, yes. My half-finished Cardinal Machines next book, as well as the King are up next! I want to thank you for reaching out to me about this. I've been giving my all to school, work, art (including co-founding Eclipseartauctions.com) and my art schooling / career (tracyeire.com). If you're still there, THANK YOU. I lost faith. And found it again. Please join me for the future of The Folded Earth, and Cardinal Machines, along with the new series with an ensemble cast, that will feature these fellows:

One deadly mage, one carefree god, and one kidnapped genius walk into a bar.... The Hoshino Series.

COMING SOON.
