Planned Print Books for 2025

 

It's always  been on the cards to make as many tales available in as many formats as (practically) possible, including:

  • eBook format.
  • Print format.
  • Audiobooks/stream.
After assessing viable options for print; Amazon's publishing service appears to offer the best balance between options, cost, and quality. That said, for the time being, Amazon will be where these print options can be found.

The types of print offerings will be as followed:

Single Tales:

As per this blog post, the following two titles are currently available in print:





Also, at the time of this blog post, the following two titles are being prepared:
During May 2025, it is expected the title The Crossing of Crocklemell will also be available in print.

Collections:

During the latter part of the year (likely autumn), the first 'Collection' will be published as a print-only option. These collections group together stories based around a general theme or character.

In the collection of 'Beasties: Collection One'; the stories contain something monstrous.

Beasties: Collection One


This collection will include the first editions of the following individual tales:
These collections allow for the inclusion of short stories to be made available in print where it would not be practical (or cost-effective) to create a print version of a single short-form story.

Next year, more collections are planned including one for Cora Winstanley (as featured in The Oakmere Grynfang and Bristlewurm).

The Undelund website carries an up-to-date list of stories planned for print found at the link provided here: Undelund Tales - Story List (Print)

Only the truth will do

Imagine a world where lies were highlighted the instant they were spoken and imagine how quickly the world would become a better place. Let’s imagine for example… …how 99% of politicians would be swept from power and into the dustbin of history, or better yet imprisoned for their lies and half-truths. …how inept middle-managers will be booted from their cushy jobs when they can no longer blame their teams for their own shortcomings. …how many interpersonal relationships would crumble when the light of truth shines upon them. The subject of telling the truth, and the consequences of not doing so, is explored in the upcoming tale, Meet Chompy . Another theme explored in the story, is that of good people fighting hidden battles and driven to do bad things; but what’s not known to the observer, is what fuels the individual’s actions. Meet Chompy   will be a novelette and is due for publication in the summer of 2025. Cover for Meet Chompy For more details on this story o...

False friends as inspiration

The upsides of having a true friend are manyfold. Among the positives, are that a true friend will accept you for who you are, cheer your successes, lift you when you're down, and be there for you through thick and thin. Behind your back they'll speak well of you, protect your reputation, and the friendship will be equitable and mutually beneficial. Oftentimes the dangers of having a false (or foolish) friend are overlooked. Among the negatives, are that these people will drain your energy, lie to you, and drag you into unnecessary drama. Behind your back they will mock you, gossip about you, sabotage your efforts, and they take far more than they ever give. Quite frankly, false or foolish friends are not the friends of anyone; and in my opinion, the people they are conning simply haven't connected the dots yet. Like many others, I've suffered false “friends” and when I kicked the final one out of my life it's been a gift that keeps on giving. The moment I burned th...

Voices from Undelund

Veering away from posts about stories and their status; this brief article explores the ‘Voices from Undelund’ that appear on the Undelund Tales website . Background When writing, one of the things I like to do is have a picture in my mind of not only the character’s personality but also how they ‘look’. The reason I like to have a clear picture in my mind of each major character, is because each scene of the story plays out in my mind as a mini movie before I try to convey the scenes using words. The ‘Voices of Undelund’ blends a character's avatar with something they think, write, or say; and clicking the graphic will take a website’s visitor to the story being referenced. The goal is to give potential readers a teaser around the characters and story content. Example Below is a recent addition to the ‘voices’ from the story Bristlewurm . The character is Cora Winstanley and is one of sixteen I’ve created that relate to the story. Of those sixteen 'voices', f...
