How Do I Catch Up or Read/Listen to The Thieves Guild?

The Thieves Guild epic fantasy audio drama podcast is becoming quite popular. It is also available as novels and also as a serial at Kindle Vella. With so many options across three platforms, how can you catch up if you’re interested? Let me give some recomendations.

You Want to Read The Thieves Guild

The Thieves Guild started out as a book series, and that will continue. However, the podcast and Vella are currently ahead of the book series. Basically, when there is a book’s length of material from the podcast available, I will publish it in book form. These will always be available for the lowest ebook prices available in Amazon, which is currently 99 cents. Additionally, the books are available in Kindle Unlimited as part of your free subscription.

However, the easiest and cheapest way to get caught up on The Thieves Guild is to join my mailing list. By signing up, you will be mailed links to download the ebook of The Thieves Guild and The Burning City for free. I will never sell or share your data, nor willI I spam you. The volume of emails will be less than once per month. You will also receive all subsequent volumes for free.

If you don’t want to sign up for my mailing list, here is how to read the series:

You can find episodes 1 to 99 in two books: The Thieves Guild and The Burning City. Here are the links to buy them:

You can find each episode after episode 100 on Kindle Vella. Each chapter includes a small comment from me at the end, discussing the chapter, my writing, and other things. Here is the link to the Kindle Vella page:

Future Books

Once I get to about episode 130, I’ll be releasing two books:

The Third book in The Thieves Guild series as a stand-alone novel. This will simply be a continuation of The Burning City and be similarly priced at 99 cents. This book will be available for free to my subscribers.

An omnibus of books 1-3. This will be a single volume of the first three books and be priced at $1.99.

Artifacts of the Arcane Podcast Coming

Season One Cover Image

I’ve had so much fun writing The Thieves Guild podcast as a serial story (with one chapter per week) that I’ve decided to launch another podcast with my friends at In Shambles Productions. This is an an adaptation of my Tommy Black series, which has been renamed for the podcast: Artifacts of the Arcane.

The podcast will have a very lengthy but still limited run, with each book encompassing a season. Season three will be all new material, so this will be quite exciting for the poor, patient fans who have been waiting on book three.

This will be a narrated audiobook-style audiodrama, so a bit unlike The Thieves Guild, which is full cast. I do love the narrator, however, so I think you’ll like how it is presented.

The podcast will be hosted by Speaker, but will be available via all major podcast platforms. The first episode drops on September 6.

The Thieves Guild Hits 100 Episodes!

The Thieves Guild, the audiodrama podcast written by me, has offiically reached 100 episodes. I’m quite proud of this podcast, as it’s a full cast production and is epic in scope, even as the characters are personal and easy to root for. I started writing The Thieves Guild as a serial and an homage to the pulp writers and nineteenth century writers that gave me so much joy. So this podcast is a way for me to honor them.

The 100th episode features an interview with me, and it does contain a few mild spoilers, so if you are interested in checking out the interview and the podcast, you should listen to the first 99 episodes first. Don’t worry, they’re all about 10-15 minutes long, so it’s not as much of a time commitment as you may expect.

If you’re interested, you can listen to the podcast below or subscribe via your favorite podcast app.

The Burning City Release Date is Tomorrow

Book two of my series, The Thieves Guild, is out tomorrow. All of the personal chaos that Ralan experienced in book one gets blown up into tons of political machinations. I hope you enjoy it. It’s titled The Burning City because, well, the city is burning. 🙂

The Burning City Cover Reveal!

Burning City Ebook Cover

It’s been a busy year, and part of the year has been revising and updating my Thieves Guild series. It was previously known as The Guildmaster Thief, but I have expanded some of it and totally re-edited both editions. Additionally, I’ll be releasing book 3 in 2024! In addition to the Thieves Guild, I’ve released by sci-fi thriller Thursday. Behind the scenes, my production company, In Shambles Productions, is producing a popular pulp fiction podcast, Conan And Friends. Lots more to come, but back to The Thieves Guild…

The Burning City, Book Two, comes out on December 1, and here is the cover. I love it, and I hope you do, as well.

Thursday is Now Available!

My sci-fi thriller Thursday is now available to buy. You can find it at all major bookstores in either ebook or paperback. I hope you enjoy it. I intentionally wrote it to be a fast-paced edge-of-your-seat read, but I also wanted to examine the question as to who is the “bad guy” when you are undercover.

Stories of My Life

To celebrate the upcoming release of my first science fiction novel, Thursday, I’ve decided to share some stories of my life: Tales from the music industry, tales from my career in writing, tales from my work as a Silicon Valley business development executive, and possibly some random life moments in there, too. You can find them on Youtube on via the below playlist. I hope you enjoy them as much as I’m enjoying sharing them.
