It took a little longer than I had planned, but I'm so excited for everyone to read the finished, polished version of the book!

You can check it out right here:

For those that listen on Audible, Christian is currently recording book 4 RIGHT NOW and hopes to have it done in the next week or so. The audiobook is looking like it might be around 30 hours long and then we still have to go through the proofing and approval process which takes like 2-3 weeks, but I'm really hopeful we have it out for everyone by the end of June at the latest.

Portal to Nova Roma: Empire (book 5) is going to be out in August and is likely going to be around 30 hours or more on audio as well. I'm hoping to release both the Kindle and audio version at the same time for the final book in the series, so fingers crossed all the scheduling and issues with Audible work out!

In other news, I'm doing a small book tour to celebrate the release of the Jake's Magical Market hardcover edition into physical stores. If you happen to be in the Denver area on July 9th, swing by Tattered Grove Aspen bookstore at 6pm and I'll be signing books and hanging out! Or if you are in Seattle on July 17th, visit me at Elliott Bay Book Company at 7pm!

I believe each store will have hardcovers available for purchase, but if you want to help me out you could also pre-order a copy here:

Follow me on social media for more details about the tour and stuff.

Thank you everyone!!! I hope you enjoy the book!

It was pretty stressful to make so many changes right before the book was sent to the printer, but I am so happy that everyone convinced me to return back to the original cover (with an older Jake!).

And Aethon did an amazing job with the colors and the back/spine artwork. It all just came together to look so much better than I ever could have hoped.

Big thank you to everyone here and on my Facebook/Patreon/Discord that commented and shared their opinion about which cover to use. Also a huge shout out to Aethon and Rhett who worked with me to change the cover at the very last minute and get it all prepped and out the door on time.

And hey, if seeing the final product makes you want pre-order the hardcover you can still do so!! :P

The more pre-orders we get the more shelf space Barnes and Noble will dedicate to the book, so I appreciate all the help I can get!

Thank you all!!
