"Set Free" A Book by Thomas Walker

[GodlyDevotion]

I wish we had a new book to curb the lonely feelings of isolation. But, please, do your thing. Uhmm. . . If it's not too early to ask, when can we expect a new book? 😁

Other projects that I have been neglecting too long took my attention for a while. The final book in the New Earth series will be coming soon. It's undergoing final proofread now; probably another two or three weeks.

Oh my! Thank you very much. I read your books, and I just want to improve my writing prowess. You are a great narrator. Keep writing, dear brother. You are very good at it. Uhm, I'm sure @dages hasn't seen this yet. He was supposed to be the first to comment, lol. 😂😂

Well, that's up to you guys. The other pen-name has my secular stories. I haven't really advertised them here, because the stories are not JW-Based like the New Earth Series, but it was my first account, long before I started on JSY. 

 

I like to think the stories are entertaining nevertheless, and some of the ideas explored might seem familiar.

 

But the Paradise Series has been my most successful writing to date. One thing I've learned, JW's can advertise better than I ever could using any other means. (Especially Paradise stories) 😆

I can't comment when it's 2am and I'm sleeping

Because we are longing for Paradise and you have good ideas about it. Sometimes it's a little bit to much scifi for my taste but it's great.

I wish I could write a story myself but sadly I can't write a single word for a story! 

My brain feels foggy. 

 

By the way, I'm still in the process of translating 'Just see yourself'. It's a very slow process but I should say I'm enjoying it.

It's a very flattering thing you're doing, and I hope it's a source of encouragement and discussion to all our Korean-speaking brothers and sisters.

 

When I started JSY, I really did only intend it to be a short story, just for my own family. I have no idea how we got to this point; but I'm grateful to everyone.

The Last Book in the "New Earth" Series

 

[Dages]

Yes ! I wanted to see the picture you'd choose for the cover... It's a very good one.

Matt!

 

Thank you so much for posting the link to your last book (Set Free). I tried to find it on Amazon, but it's still listing digital as the only form available. Using your link, I was able to order a physical copy of the book for an elderly sister in our congregation. She's been wanting to read it since I first told her about it, but we couldn't find the link to the hard copy.

 

Amazon says it will be here on July 11 or 12.  And now I see that your NEWEST book will be "released" (pun intended) on July 12. But I think I will save that news to give her later. Too much excitement might not be good for her heart.

 

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[Thomas Walker]

With just over a week until release day, I thought I'd put up the usual Previews.

 

*** Synopsis ***

 

"The Ending Is Part of the Story Too..."

(Years 900 to 1000)

 

The Thousand Years began with a great test. To receive the promised Eternal Life, in a perfect Utopian paradise, there remains one more challenge to overcome.

 

Grant is the Last Returnee. His history with some of the people he meets on arrival is long and complicated... And with less than a Century left until humanity is tested for the last time, he must find his faith, and his own place in the world quickly.

 

New faces, and returning characters alike will be tested in varied and personal ways, as danger is suddenly loosed upon a world that has all but forgotten it ever existed.

"Released" is the Fifth and Final book in the 'New Earth' Series.

Sorry, I should also say: If any of my fans in the USA buy a paperback, and get it in the next day or two? Would you let me know if it looks right?

What a conundrum! The book is scheduled to be released the first day of Regional Convention! Did you purposely set out to torture us, Matt??????!!!!!!

You're right. Maybe I should hold off until next week. Y'know. For the good of the congregation.

[JudyO]

And risk starting a revolt against your next book (whenever that may be)?

I think not....LOL

Okay Matt where is it?

I was wondering who was going to ask first.

 

I clicked 'Publish Now' on Amazon over fourteen hours ago, and usually it's online within twelve. But this is the first thing I've published since Covid started, and they're saying 'It Can Take up to 72 hours'. It's never been a third that long, but if they're short staffed at Amazon...

Me, too. I almost want to stretch this one out, since it may (?????) be the last one in the series.

[Dages]

This is the kind of story we don't want to see an end... One day, we will have this story to tell...

[Thomas Walker]

I'm sorry, gang. We're now at the 24 hour mark, and it still hasn't gone online. I really did think we'd get here sooner.

 

I can start the thread and post the chapters on my blog. Shall we say... the first seven chapters, until tomorrow. (Or the day after, depending on Amazon?)

[Dages]

Great!
