The only way out for the Warders of the Circle is forward.
Today’s release “All the Nations of the Sky” by yours truly completes Born to the Blade season one!
I’ve learned SO MUCH about writing, storytelling, and business from this series, and am so grateful to my co-writers Cassandra Khaw, Malka Older, and Marie Brennan. They brought so much to the series and I have learned a lot about storytelling from each of them. I’m grateful to @serialboxpub for taking a chance on this series, for bringing the team on-board to help make new moves in storytelling, to meet readers where they are in their busy lives, commuting, sneaking in bits of reading time here and there, and so on.
I’m so honored that the series has connected with readers and that I’ve had the chance to push myself as a storyteller. Having reviewers covering the series week after week has been an utter delight.
In working on projects since BORN TO THE BLADE, I can already see the improvements to my craft – in characterization, worldbuilding, action scenes, and sentence-level craft. It’s been a lot of hard work and even more excitement, wonder, and joy.
So thank you to everyone who has been reading the series, to everyone that reviewed an episode or the season or talked about it with friends. The future of Born to the Blade now comes down to word of mouth and continuing to spread and earn new readers.
If you want to see what happens next for Kris, Michiko, Ojo, and everyone else, keep talking about the series with your friends!
