I’ve decided I will pull the trigger on a sequel to Academaze! I already have a fantastic cover by the lovely graphic designer and human A. A. Medina of Fabled Beast Design (@UglyByProxy on Twitter). I recommend you contact him for all your book-cover-design needs. 

The book will NOT be called Academaze II. But what will it be called, you ask. MWAHAHAHAHA! That’s a secret for now. But it will cover the Best of Xykademiqz 2016 and onward.

The book will tentatively be out November 1. I will need to coordinate with Academaze publisher Annorlunda, so we can give folks some good deals on the two books together.

If you are willing to read and review the book on Goodreads (available before publication) and/or Amazon (available only after publication) and/or anywhere else you usually review (your blog etc.), please let me know. There will be an ARC (advanced review copy) signup Google Form around the end of August. Most ARC will be electronic; there will be a limited number of paperbacks available, with priority given to folks who have reviewed Academaze. ARCs will go out mid-September to early October, so people have time to finish reading before publication in November. 

Given that the lovely publisher of Academaze closed a couple of years ago (edit: closed to new  submissions; it’s still actively selling existing books in its catalog), I will be putting out this book on my own. You can expect it to be less coolly pedagogical and more scorchingly unhinged. MWAHAHAHAHA!
