Seismic Semester Release Date = March 7th

 

Welf Coming to Get You, Foul Mouth!!!

So...I started working on this book September 2018 just after I published "Glassbreaker Goes Home".  It's...been a journey.  Most of it was written in the last year and a half once my spine calmed a bit, on a phone note app of all places.

I think it's the funniest novel I've written.  We can probably agree this is not a light claim to make.  It might even challenge "Meet the Bonnies" for funniest ANYTHING I've ever written.  Granted, you fans don't agree with me on what's funny sometimes, because I found the start of FM5 with Drunk Emo KH hilarious and a bunch of you knocked me for it.  But...this one is funny.  I laughed at stuff on my last edit, which never happens.  Also teared up a few times...so have extra tissues and panties on hand just in case.

It's...800 something pages of slice of life and teenage drama and my only aim was to make you feel like you were living with King Henry at the Asylum, because with how small and brief the school timeline has been so far, you haven't gotten to feel that.  We've also had characters get pushed completely out of the way and I tried to add a bunch of them into this novel so you had a sense of them outside a name.

You're also going to meet about 40 new characters, many of them family members of fan favorites or fan love-to-hates.  One of them who I just decided I enjoyed writing and now they've blown up out of nothing.  Lots of you will find her annoying, I find her hilarious, or better to say KH's reaction to her hilarious.  Many of these children will also play roles in the coming mainline novels, some very important roles, since in FM7 they're already Pents.

Those of you who just read for what happens next and want explosions and punching...will probably be disappointed outside one fantastically violent chapter.  There is nothing wrong with this.  It's just not that type of novel.

Those of you that read for characters and relationships and the little moments between two characters in a room over a cup of coffee...will probably be ecstatic.  King Henry has many, many complaints about the number of visitors he has to put up with this semester and the many different beverages he has to brew.

Shippers...oh, boy, you shippers...the ammo you're gonna have after this one.

So...until March 7th...I will be working on the next three in whatever order I feel like (Vicky Novel [taking place on the eve of FM7], War to End All Wars [the sequel to this one and school story finale], and The Most Obvious Trap [which I will still reference as FM7 despite being published as the 8th or 9th novel in the series, cuz I love being confusing!]).  That's the plan for the rest of 2025, not just this month.

If you're a beta reader, files went out!  Please respond!  If you didn't get any and usually beta read, email me!  Or just finally answer the email I sent telling you beta was here, TREY!!!

  1. Man, I’m so excited to see a new Foul Mouth novel rolling out. This is one of my top three favorite urban fantasy series. All of your characters are delightful to read and your world building has been superb. I can’t recommend this series enough to folks, even if my wife rolls her eyes every time I bring it up. Glad to see your plugging along. I wish you all the success you deserve with the work you’ve been putting in and look forward to more Foul Mouth and whatever you have coming afterwards!

  3. I am looking forward to a long weekend of reading the novel! If it rivals Meet the Bonnies on the hilariousness scale the tissues will be needed for tears of joy.

  4. Fuck yes jefe. Screw the people who just want the future pow boom fight shit. Yeah, that's fun and it's cool to read, but the young King Henry stuff is hilarious. If it's even close to as good as Meet The Bonnies it's going to be great. Also, did people really not like drunk emo shit King Henry? It made sense for who he is, he always goes 27 out of 10, and also it's just funny. Fricking babies.

  5. I'm getting really excited now, I'm so looking forward to re-entering this world. Your prose and characters sing to me in the same way as Sir Terry and Robin Hobb. I hope 2025 is good to you (and your back).

  9. Drunk emo KH was hilarious 😂 and so relatable during a breakup. My favorite scene in all novels so far has been KH's smackdown of the Guild, but I am eager to be proven wrong in future books.
