Well, it has been a while.

Some important news: I had an unplanned surgery earlier this month, which is what delayed a lot of my updates and information regarding writing and the podcast. I can share some new information with everyone now.

We have titled the pod I Think You Should… and this is so Bea and I can discuss any and all things we think are just cool and worth your time. We’ve done some bits on video games and music, and are looking at other ideas around books/authors and movies. We’ve canned about five episodes, the goal being to record and release 15-20 as a “season” of the podcast. While that is live, the Patreon will go up and membership will include releases of my writing as I plug away at book four (which is nearing the 50,000 word mark).

As always, thanks for reading.

Okay so, it is official: we have a podcast.

I originally asked my friend Bea to record the first episode on Cozy Core games as a guest …but we had too much fun so now we are cohosting the pod. It will be called I Think You Should…

I am thrilled beyond words to be doing this with Bea, and I think we have a killer lineup of topics and guests. However, we are approaching this very differently than other pods. We are pre-recording 20 episodes that will constitute Season 1 of the show. Those will go live once they are ready (probably around December or January).

The Patreon will not go live until the show is available, I am not going to charge folks anything for early episodes or drafts of my work until there is a substantial amount of it out there. I hope people will check it out once we put it out there, but if not, who cares? We are having a blast making this show.

For those who support my work, go buy the books (or email me at trevorhpaul@gmail.com and I will mail them to you). Otherwise, hang tight, the pod is coming!

The TH Pod will be moving forward! I have received interest from a number of people and intend to send out possible recording dates to everyone who is interested in participating. Thanks for reaching out, and once I have figured out a schedule, I can start talking release date for the podcast and the Patreon.

8/8/25

The podcast list and plan is in the works! I have landed a number of guests and am sorting out topics. Once I have a more thorough list and have made sure all my equipment is working properly, I will set up a schedule and record a bunch of episodes in advance.

This probably means that the Patreon and episode releases are going to be a few months away. In the interim, I’m writing and getting plenty of content to offer for those who end up subscribing!

8/6/25 – Big Announcement

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to end the radio silence with some updates on where things stand with The Legacy Chronicle and my writing work as a whole. I am currently plugging away on the fourth book, though it is taking longer than previous installments due to a lot of threads I have to weave together over time.

Additionally, I have learned that Sherman’s Books policy for local writers has changed, and I have to hit certain sales goals in order to keep the books in circulation there. The only book that meets their current criteria is The Sword, so from here on out, you will only be able to get The Shield and The Steed on Amazon or by emailing me directly for a copy.

Because this shrinks my readership and reach substantially, I am making some significant plans for expansion into other avenues to build readership and provide content to people who follow my work. With this in mind, I have a new priority list I am sharing with you:

  1. Complete The Father and ensure that book four comes out in the next 12 months or so, ensuring the series continues a relatively steady stream of publication. I am a writer first and foremost, and this is my central work, so it needs to be top of the chain.
  2. Launch a podcast, to be entitled TH Pod, which will feature interviews with various other creatives and friends on things they, or I, think you should consume. The structure will be “I think you should [verb]” and a topic. For example, “I think you should read The Sword by TH Paul.” The podcast will feature a discussion of the book, film, game, album, or whatever it is we’re interested in, and some samples and excerpts to sell the audience on the work (we will be sure to include spoiler tags). Wes Covey, a long time collaborator, is working on a theme song and I am soliciting guests, so if you hear from me, consider being on! If you don’t hear from me, but would want to participate, please reach out!
  3. In addition to the podcast, I will be creating a Patreon account. For those who do not know, Patreon allows artists to monetize their work at various tiers. I am currently planning on offering three tiers: Supporter, where you pay $1 a month just to show support for ongoing projects, Member, where you pay $5 a month to get excerpts of ongoing writing works, early releases of the podcast, membership in a Discord server I will be creating for followers of the Patreon, and the ability to request certain topics for the podcast, and lastly Subscriber for $10 a month, which gets you everything the Members get plus for every two months of membership at that tier, you can choose any of my works to be shipped to you, signed, for no additional cost (this will include future works as well).
  4. Lastly, I am still working on a few other writing projects that will likely be released as short story collections or smaller novels. I am also working to get the No Monsters digital edition completed, hopefully by November.

So, there is quite a bit going on. Please reach out with questions or if you are interested in participating in the podcast. The plan is to build a collection of a dozen or so episodes BEFORE I release any of them, and similarly I will not launch the Patreon until I have the content to populate it (I won’t let people pay for nothing).

Thanks for reading,

T.H.

I have been made aware that there is a pagination issue with No Monsters where the Table of Contents and the actual page numbers do not match up. I am going to update the file and will post when the corrected version is available.

You can still purchase the book from me or on Amazon, but just be aware of this defect if you do so before I make the adjustment.

No Monsters is now available on Amazon and directly from me in paperback. The Kindle edition is going to take some formatting work before that becomes available, price TBD.

I have learned that Sherman’s will no longer be carrying The Shield and The Steed as they are not selling enough copies. I am looking to find new places to make public appearances at starting in late July and onward. If you know independent book stores or conventions that would welcome an author from Maine as a guest/vendor, please reach out!

Updates and samples from the first draft of book four in The Legacy Chronicle are coming in the next month or so.

Thanks for reading,

T.H.

No Monsters is officially available for purchase. I am ordering copies to sell myself that I will sign, so you can reach out to trevorhpaul@gmail.com if you would like to order one. Otherwise, you can find the book on Amazon at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3HZBNNK/ref=sr_1_1?crid=YXPHBUWFAETL&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.-JyexCYbq_EU520lhyJaTA.-OFWu7D4mrySDIvIAJSAP687S80ZsTM0qyGsgvBBGxE&dib_tag=se&keywords=no+monsters+the+paul&qid=1743684495&rnid=2941120011&s=books&sprefix=no+monsters+th+paul%2Caps%2C95&sr=1-1

Huge thanks to Burke Sabatini for doing the exceptional artwork!

1/23/25

No Monsters is done and ready for publication.

I will be putting it out on Amazon in the next 2-3 days, and also ordering physical copies that I will sell to anyone interested, signed, for the same cost as Amazon: $12.00.

If you would like a signed copy of the book, please email trevorhpaul@gmail.com or you can connect with me via the Facebook page for my writing: http://www.facebook.com/legacychronicle

Sherman’s will be selling copies eventually, once I have the final approval from the printer. I will update when that happens.

For my readers who have enjoyed The Legacy Chronicle series, this is not from that universe. It is a science fiction short story collection, with a smattering of horror and other elements. It’s got adult language and I would generally rate it for 15+ in most cases, so keep that in mind when considering if you would like to get a copy.

Thanks to everyone for your patience and support. I have two more projects I am currently working on, one being book four of The Legacy Chronicle and the other being a separate story in the same universe.

As always, thanks for reading,

T.H.
