In which we ramble on.
And by we, I mean me.

Hidden Gnome Publishing

5/25/2018

It's my name on all the books, but there's a team of people who make sure they happen. Without help, I'd still be working on House of Blades from my nest under a bridge.

These are the people who help me set my schedule and stick to it. They're the ones who make sure the books get written, and handle the aspects of business I suck at (which is basically everything but writing the books and responding to you guys).

Recently, we had our first long-term strategy meeting where we hammered out our objectives as Hidden Gnome Publishing...a name I made up five years ago so I could fill in the "publisher" blank on House of Blades. Slowly, Hidden Gnome has become a real thing! Sort of!

In this meeting, we decided on the June 1st release date for Ghostwater, and we set my schedule for the remainder of 2018 into 2019. Since then, it's this group of people that has used their pitchforks to keep me sticking to that schedule. There are even more people involved in the books than are pictured here; it's hard to list everyone.

​So when I say "we" decided something, or when it looks like I actually planned something in advance, you can thank Hidden Gnome!

EDIT: If you're having trouble posting comments today, so am I. Apparently a lot of Weebly websites lost comment capability yesterday, including this one. Hoping for a fix soon!

Sorry. about the last comment. I didn't mean to be ungrateful. I'm actually happy about you giving out books.

And also, Pitchforks?

Are the names and job titles / roles of the people at the table a secret?

It's cool to see behind the scenes like this, so to speak. I never even thought you had a support group like that. I just thought you really really liked writing all the time because you get books out fast, man. Whatever system you guys have set up works!

And if you're reading this, Hidden Gnome group, hello! Love your shirts. ;)

So does this mean that we will now get the last audio book for the house of blades? Also does this mean that we can hope for Unsouled audio books? Please Please Please.

Hello,

I'm trying to get a hold of someone at Hidden Gnome Publishing. I was preparing to submit an audio book audition for Unsouled but it no longer appears on the ACX site. Is the opportunity gone? I hope not. I believe this audition is very good (and I don't often say that). Please contact me if the opportunity remains.

Hey Sterling!

Unfortunately, that opportunity is actually closed now. We received far more applications than we expected in a short period of time, so we have our hands full sorting all the applications we did get.

However, this won't be the last time we need narrators! Thanks for your interest, and I'm sorry it didn't work out this time!

Damn! I really liked your material! Oh well. If you don't find your Narrator or would like to hear it for future reference, please let me know. I'd be happy to send it to you.

I sincerely appreciate you letting me know. And wishing you much success!

Sterling
