Hey all!
Just wanted to update you on progress.
First off, thank you all so much who have reached out in one way or another and let me know how you're enjoying the series. I'm a green eggs and ham kind of guy. That is, I'd write with a fox in a box; I'd even write and continue the Saga if it was just me and my cat Syl who read it (she's a harsh but honest critique). And while that's easy to say, I'm not sure how I could do it without you all. That I have so many amazing people joining along the journey with Gray, Ayva and Darius means so much.
Book Update:
Deep in book four, Beta Readers have 8 more days then I'll be working on final line edits, proofreader, and working out plans for book 3 and book 4 audiobooks (Spoiler: Hoping to run a Kickstarter and release them at the same time and ideally soon)
Wrapping up Ezrah's short story based in Saga's world, then onto edits and Audio recording - I'll be self-recording this time. Will send more on this as it gets closer
Rewards update:
Ordered over 300 The Knife's Edge, Citadel of Fire, and Bastion of Sun - Waiting for Ingram to print and ship still. The date of shipment looks like 14 days from now. As soon as they arrive I'll let everyone know.
Ordered 200 Visions of a Hidden, Legends, Dreams of a Reaver novellas for "Hero" backers
Ordered over $1000 of shipment/packaging material for everyones books to arrive in pristine condition
Signing First Editions and working on unique rewards as we speak!
I think that's it for now. Oh yeah, if you get a chance please send a few words for a review. I'd so appreciate it. We're in the top 100 of fantasy want to keep the train going! Especially with book 3 and 4 on the horizon :D Here's the link for a review:

Hope all is well, and thinking of everyone in these times! Wanted to give a quick update. Thank you to everyone who filled out your BackerKit, and followed up with private messages. So thankful for the outpouring of generosity with the the limited codes and those who offered up credits for website vouchers - I really appreciate it. Also, First Editions are all lined up as well, thanks all for that :)
As far as where we are in the rewards process, I've ordered all hardcovers and paperbacks, and once they arrive I'll begin the fun and intense project of fulfillment (I got a small team this time). Luckily I've been doing hand exercises so my signing/wrist hand is ready! ✍️
Also hopefully everyone is enjoying Citadel of Fire, just wanted remind that I would be eternally grateful for a review! I love feedback of all types and l want to hear your thoughts. I want to know what you thought of book two, about Gray and company's adventure in Farhaven! Even a few words would suffice! Here's the link ⬇️ Should take 30 seconds or less :D
Just click the small "write a review" button and fill out the stars and let me know what you thought :) It means so much and lets new readers into the world of Farhaven, plus... Trade secret, I read the reviews (authors say they don't, but they do), and I like to know what you like and who knows? Your opinion and take might work its way into future books!
Happy Saturday!
Matt
p.s. I've been asked about making a Private Goodreads group or to include you in our Discord for all fantasy fans and Roninites, to keep people up to date, let me know if that's something you'd be interested in!

I just wanted to reach out to everyone and say thank you so much. I'm blown away at the outpouring of support and help, and the willingness to snag a copy of CoF ahead. I'm so honored to have such amazing fans and readers.
To everyone still waiting and needs their copy, I'll be sending out the rest of the emails and replies regarding codes and vouchers by tonight/tomorrow morning, don't worry! Burning the midnight oil to make sure everyone gets their copy and is diving in to Citadel of Fire :)
We're sitting around the top 100 of all categories and rising! Let's keep this train going!
Woot!
Lastly, if you get a chance to review and when you finish it would mean the world. I wanted to give a heads up, as I've been getting a lot of questions about it, especially those of you who are power readers listening at x2 speed! So again, thank you so much.

Hey my amazing backers,
Thank you so much for those of you filling out BackerKit, and working hard to answer all questions.
Today I'm sending out messages regarding your early-edition copies of Citadel of Fire. So check your mailboxes! Because....
*Drum roll...* Pre-orders are live! And first time full cover reveal!
Just a note, if HAVE already snagged the audiobook via the link above, please reply to the personal message to let me know and you'll receive a $30 credit - or more if you're a first time audible user - on www.roninsaga.com free!
Much heart,
Matt
Full disclosure: the bounty link above is a huge help for us authors as ACX gives us a reward when first time Audible listeners use their free credit via there and are members for 2 months. Also Audible has significantly reduced our promotion codes for distribution recently so providing some extra incentives to help me not run out of codes right away :D But more importantly, I'm so excited for you all to get the book. Happy Tuesday!
