Copies of No Monsters have officially reached my doorstep. If you would like a signed copy, please reach out to trevorhpaul@gmail.com to request one! All copies are $12 each.

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!

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.

The newest proof of No Monsters has been requested. I am hopeful this one will be publication ready (the only issue was aligning the excellent cover art by Burke Sabatini). More updates very soon!

I have finally been able to order a proof of No Monsters. I will post more information when it is here and I know how close we are to publication.

I could release it on Kindle right now, but I think I want to wait for it to be at least reasonably close to publication in print before I pull the trigger on that.

I appreciate all the patience from folks who were probably wondering if this book was ever coming out. There is now light at the end of the tunnel. I can confirm once the book is ready it will be for sale at Sherman’s across the state of Maine, along with a few other booksellers that agree to carry it.

In other news, I have the prologue and about three chapters of the third book in the Legacy Chronicle done.

More to come soon. Thanks for your patience.

Updates on appearances for the next month and word on the No Monsters book in progress.

I will be at Sherman’s Falmouth on August 3rd from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

I will be at Sherman’s Rockland on August 17th from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

I will be at Sherman’s Damariscotta on August 24th from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

Currently, I am still tackling formatting issues with the new book cover. I will update as soon as that gets resolved. I have begun the first pass on book four and will be writing it throughout 2024-2025. Expect the fifth book to come quickly after the fourth, as like The Sword and The Shield, they are rather tightly connected in terms of plot.

Hey All,

There has been a snag in getting the proof of No Monsters complete. The artwork and interior are done, but we’ve hit some aspect ratio issues and it needs some time to be adjusted so it will appear as it should. However, you can still enjoy the fantastic artwork by Burke Sabatini:

Once the design is formatted correctly and we can order a proper proof, I will have a better timeline for when I can release the book.

Also, appearances at Sherman’s in August are coming! Three Saturdays, dates and locations will be passed on soon!

The final copy edit of No Monsters is done. I am going to give myself a few days to revisit some stories for content and possible modifications, but the publication date should not be far away at all.

T.H.

The last two stories for No Monsters are in to the editor. I will begin the final copy edit process for the whole collection once they are back and provide an update on page count and possible publication.

One of the stories is going to be submitted to a number of publishing houses, so it may be that the collection gets released, then put on hold if bought by a publisher, and becomes available again. I will post updates as that happens.

This is primarily an update on No Monsters as a book.

I have finished the first major revisions of the text. There will be some small changes to a number of stories, but it is mostly done and ready to go. However, I have decided to pull one of the stories out in order to give it the proper due. The haunted house story, “The Greene Estate,” is going to be written out as its own novella and released separately. I do not know exactly when, it may come after the fourth book in The Legacy Chronicle.

The short story version of “The Greene Estate” will be replaced with two new stories that need formatting and revisions, but should be done in a few weeks. At that point, it will be all down to getting everything assembled in one text.

I am looking for potential publishers for either the whole collection or the short story “No Monsters” from which the book derives its title. Please reach out if you have any suggestions or would be willing to look at either work.

I am also on the lookout for conventions or book fairs that would welcome me as a vendor in the state of Maine or in the wider New England area. Right now I am considering Granite State Comic Con and Rhode Island Comic Con, as I have attended those in the past.

If you have any suggestions for conventions or fairs or would be willing to offer a space for a reading, signing, and vendor space, please reach out directly.

T.H.
