Early feedback indicates this might be the most exciting book I’ve ever written, but I’d love to hear what you think via review or email, baldron@nakbaldron.com. Reader feedback is crucial to my process. My main desire is to entertain you, and feedback is how I know if I’m succeeding. I read every review to learn what is or isn’t working with the series. If you’ve noticed a major improvement as the series progressed, it’s most likely due to reader feedback.
With this project behind me, I plan to take a short vacation to the woods. Unplugging from the internet and taking the time to plan for 2020 will do wonders for me. I turn 30 next month, and I need to take the time to reflect on the past decade of my life while I plan the next. I already know that writing and publishing will remain a crucial role in my life, but there’s some finer details that need to be planned out.
Do you have a book recommendation I should take with me?
I’ll be off grid, but I plan to buy a few books for the trip, and take plenty of pen and paper. However, the thought of retyping my fiction is painful, so I’ll also take my Alphasmart Neo2—the only piece of electronics I plan to use while I’m off grid. Unless you count a water pump, and I don’t. I’m not that hardcore.
I’m not ready to discuss the finer details, but I promise 2020 will be an awesome year for the Chronicles of the Seventh Realm. Several new projects are in production, and the universe is about to become a whole lot bigger. . .
If you like reading these notes at the end of every book, you’d enjoy my newsletters I send out most weeks. While I do share updates on the Chronicles of the Seventh Realm, I also make a point of sharing what’s happening in my life outside of writing.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
MY LOVING DAUGHTER! You’re what drives me to be my best, even when I want to call it and say, “Fuck-it. It’s good enough.” Knowing that one day you’ll sit down to read—or more likely listen to the audiobook—these books one day keeps me focused on my craft. I hope I live up to your expectations. And I want you to know, you’re my favorite too!
Sabetha, your constant support is more than appreciated, and I hate that it’s easier for me to express my thanks here in this book than on a daily basis like I should. Without your encouragement early in my career, there’s no way I’d be here today. I would have given up and chosen an easier path. Thank you for not allowing me to settle for less.
Manda, Jess, and Zach, thank you for all the check-ins during this long process. Knowing I had you waiting on this book kept my focused on my readers, and not my own internal bullshit. Thank you!
