Have you enjoyed my work? Consider being a Patron of the Arts!



Greetings, Marvelous Readers! I try not to do this very often, but this summer is a pivotal time for me as an author. For the first time ever, I am NOT under contract with a traditional publishing house. Everything I'm writing will be completely self published. And over the next six months, I hope to be publishing FIVE novels, Myridian Constellation Books 1-4 (formerly Dark Sea Annals): A Sword in the Stars (Author-ized Edition), The Errant King (Author-ized Edition), The Forsaken Continent (Late June), Mirror of Souls (August), and GHOST 2: Minister of Fire (October).



And so, if you've enjoyed my stories or, by God's grace, have been built-up, encouraged, or inspired by my writing, would you consider becoming a Patron of the Arts on behalf of my future stories? In Ye Olde Days of Yesteryear, artists, musicians, and writers were sponsored by private citizens who wanted to make sure more of their favorite creative works could be produced.
But in 2017, becoming a patron of the arts couldn't be easier. 



If you're still reading, thank you. If you're thinking you might like to become a patron for me, check this out:

I am so excited, especially that you are finally able to continue The Dark Sea Annals, and in the slightly less edited format you've described. I have been an avid fan of all of your writing for a good nine years, and this series has easily been my favorite, as well as an inspiration in working on building my own epic fantasy world in which I have begun to write novels. God alone knows if I'll ever publish a thing, but I love fantasy as a genre and for me , as 10-year-old struggling with being an outsider, it was your books that opened that door for me.

I love the Dark Sea Annals and hope that you pick up on some of the numerous errors in the reprinted edition. I am also wondering which book is next in the series, Mirror of Souls or The Forsaken continent? Keep up the good work Wayne!

DarkAutumn, thank you so much for posting. That's so encouraging! Stoked that you're working on your own fiction!

Anon, my new editor is awesome, so hopefully, between the two of us, we've cleaned all that up. :-D

Oooh, I am so excited for your books!!! I can't wait!!! My sister has been attacking me with all her theories and speculations for the next Dark Sea Annals since she recently raided my book stash and pounced on those right off.
Also, I really hope you get to add to The Skeleton Project stories soon!! Those are actually some of me and my sister's favorite stories that we have read in a long time, and we can't wait to see how it all turns out for Agents Pershing and Minnis. =D

I have been waiting for the third book in the Dark Sea Annals for years and now it is late. (yet again). Please set deadlines you can keep Mr. Batson! I am really looking forward to the third and fourth books...

At anonymous, I can only apologize for the delays. Book 3 was supposed to be out in 2013, but then, the publisher got smacked by the ebook revolution, and their sales tanked. So they asked for a revision of contract, but I declined and requested the rights back for the whole series. They agree but with a time-killing caveat: I had to wait until they sold through their stock of my books. That took 2+ years. Then Thomas Nelson wanted the Dreamtreaders trilogy...it was much needed income and much more stringent in terms of deadline. So three years went by. And, in between all this, my family has (by God's grace) had to weather some very serious medical issues. All to say, I haven't been sitting around binge-watching Netflix and ignoring Book 3. The new versions of Book 1 & 2 will come out first, with book 3 "The Forsaken Continent" due soon after.

Thank you for the reply Mr. Batson. Now I know why there has been such a huge delay in the series. Looking forward to the next few books!

Dear Mr. Batson,
I am so grateful for your writing. Your books are my favorite! I can hardly wait until The Forsaken Continent comes out! Any hints as to when that will be???
Also, did a lot change with the new edition of The Sword and the Stars? I'm curious as to what made the book so much longer.
Thank you for writing and for loving Jesus. I love Jesus too and am really thankful for books written by Christians.
Thanks again for helping me to love reading.
