Hey!
In case you’re new here, my name is Abigail!
If you’re here you may know I’m an author, but what exactly is going on with my writing right now? Well, years ago I began work on a series called Paradox, the story of a family separated by time-travel that reunites against all odds. The first book, Alchemist of Eternity, was published in 2021. It’s a hilarious, whimsical adventure that builds into a nail-biting finale on a distant planet. The book was quickly followed by its sequel, Rendova.
But what is happening with the series now?
For years now, many of my readers have been demanding to know when the next book is coming out. Rendova did end on a bit of a cliffhanger after all, with (spoiler!) Duke admitting to Cariss that he shot the main character back in book one. If I was the reader, I’d definitely be a little annoyed, or I might have given up by now and assumed the story would remain unfinished.
But… I have good news.
After a few trying years (including four different surgeries in my family, ER trips, strokes, new baby, new job, a death in the family, and so much more that perhaps I’ll share someday but not today), Paradox is back.
Release the confetti!!
Real life may have eaten into my writing time for a while, but it only fed my inspiration. After all, the heart of this series is the realness of the characters and their struggles. Despite being sci-fi, some of the most treasured feedback I’ve gotten about this series is how relatable it is! Behind the experimental fire that goes wrong in Rendova is an estranged mother and son struggling with hurt and pride. Beyond the mysteries of space in Alchemist of Eternity is a man mourning what his life should have been, and finding the courage to try again. I drew heavily from real life to tell these stories, and I’m ready to do so again.
I want to hear my readers laugh, I want to see my readers use their imagination, and I want to make my readers feel. And I think the continuation of Paradox will do that better than ever before.
Here’s what you can expect.
- Alchemist of Eternity will be re-released this year with a new cover, and a few edits to the storyline. If you have read it before, you will still understand the rest of the series. But if you want all your book covers to match, you’ll want to get the new one when it comes out 😉 . If you choose to refresh your memory, there are a few new scenes to look forward to, and if you’re new to the series, it’s now a higher-quality place to start!
- Rendova will be re-released. It’ll have a new cover as well, and minor edits – just a word or two tweaked to better fit the rest of the series, and better represent how I’ve grown as an author.
- The two books will be available on my site. They will also be on sites such as Amazon and Barnes and Noble, but you support me directly when you order from here!
- Special products are in the works: bookmarks, signed copies, poems, free short stories, fun quizzes, and more!
- And finally, WHAT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR… the story will continue with the release of “Game to Lose,” a haunting mystery involving a forgotten colony, a traitor, and a missing girl, with a dash of romance for Jett and Parker and a large dose of humor involving Tate, Anton, Logan, and a cat.
What can you expect from the next 6 books of Paradox? There is so much in the works. Duke’s redemption. The secret identity of the over-arching villain. Spaceship racing. Robbie’s past. A city under siege. Parker’s secrets. A trip to the Wild West. Swordfighting. Jett’s true destiny. A new time traveler. And so much more wild and crazy stuff.
This blog will be updated regularly, I promise. Bookmark me in your mind, so you’re ready when I am.
I’ll see you in the pages of Paradox soon.
Until then, take care, and God bless!
