Welcome back! Hope you all enjoyed chapter 3. A quick personal update, then we’ll get into our discussion. PERSONAL UPDATE Declaimer’s Discovery, Part II of the Spoken Books Uprising, is still in the queue with my editor and I continue working away on my own edits to Declaimer’s Flight, Part III of the Spoken Books Uprising. We’ll be reading each of those together as well once we finish the Acktus Trials. Also, as I said last episode, by the time you listen to this, The Acktus Trials will be available for purchase, but as I record this, I’m in the midst of getting everything ready for release. It’s exciting, but also a bit overwhelming–there’s always one more thing to do, one more error in the manuscript, or one more box to check. I’m also going wide with this book and the whole series, meaning it will be available pretty much everywhere you can buy books, not just Amazon, so a lot goes into getting it setup in at the various retailers. I guess I’ll also spend just a minute discussing just why I decided to do this podcast. I want to be as open and honest as I reasonably can be with all of you, so obviously part of my motivation is to expand my reach so I can hopefully sell more of my books. And this, at least, is a way more fun way of marketing than running ads on Amazon and Facebook. But selling books isn’t my only goal here. I’ve thought long and hard about my writing. For a long time I was in denial about even putting pen to paper, or fingers to keys. Writing was something normal people do. But I’ve realized that’s a bad way to think about it. There probably are some truly blessed writers out there, who just churn out amazing prose without a second thought. But most successful writers don’t ride their talent to success, but their tenacity. Writing a book takes a long time, and most people simply can’t grind it out for the long haul. The fact is, I’d keep writing even if I never make a dime, because I have all these stories in my head and I want other people to hear them, even if they don’t have the money to buy my books. So that’s a big reason I’m doing this podcast. I want to share my stories, hopefully give a few people a good time with them, and maybe inspire a few of you along the way too. If it sells more books, great, but getting my stories out into the world and into your ears is great too, and I appreciate all of you for tuning in. Alright, enough chit chat. Let’s get into chapter 3! ANAYLIS CH. 3 Intro So right off the bat, we’re explicitly told this is ten years later. As a rule, I don’t like giving such express cues–I’d rather work the timing into the text and trust my readers–that’s all of you listening–to be sharp enough to figure it out. But here, I couldn’t think of a good way to do that without spending a lot of otherwise needless words on it, so I gave you this guidepost. So it’s ten years after the episode with Baz’s brother, Deliritous, and Rox in the Reading Room from Chapter 2 from last episode. Baz is running errands for Deliritous, so apparently if Baz did suffer any punishment for what happened that day ten years ago, it hasn’t kept him from remaining Deliritous’s slave. Torchsire’s still poor apparently–as Baz notes, he doesn’t wear silk robes like Speakers from other Libraries. Just ordinary black cloth for him, with a pair of sigils stitched on the front. One is a crossed pair of torches with a book between them. That’s the symbol for Torchsire Library we learn. That seems odd, right? Usually you want to keep fire as far away from books as you can, particularly books as valuable as the ones in this world. We’ll have to wait and see the significance of this symbol. The other symbol on Baz’s black cloak is a dragon , which we’ve already learned marks him as a Destroyer, one of the three types of Speakers. Baz makes a point to lament his lack of a hood on his cloak–the Readers don’t want the Speakers hiding what they are by covering up their brands. This sort of has the effect of making hats a sort of status symbol. As we saw, Deliritous wore a giant hat, ...
