Coming Fall 2009 from MWS Media: “The Sovereign Era: Year One,” an anthology of tales set in the first year of the Sovereign Era and written by some of new media’s best and brightest authors. Featuring cover art by Jeffrey Himmelman (A Song Of Ice and Fire roleplaying game, The Legend of the Five Rings trading card game.)
Thought you folks might want to see the cover.

Definitely looking forward to the release of this one.
Maybe I failed reading comprehension 101, but is this going to be a published book I can pick up at Amazon, a podiobook, or what? If a dead tree or better yet e-book version is there going to be pre-ordering and if so how can I get a link to pre-order?
“The Sovereign Era: Year One” will be a paperback book and several e-books formats from MWS Media. It’s possible a podiobook edition will exist, especially if the contributing authors would like to record their own stories (anybody…?)
No pre-ordering yet, as the exactly release date has not been nailed down. Rest assured, as things move a little farther along, I won’t be shy with updates!
glad to hear it. Is there anything we in the community can do to help this come to fruition? I’ve found I’ve become addicted to all things Sovereign and since you haven’t re-released your e-zine back-log (hint hint) I find the availability of my drug of choice rather limited….
The best thing folks in the community can do is become patrons of my work so that I can dedicate more time to writing, music and other creative endeavors and less time to pursuing freelance client work. In the coming weeks, I’ll have more information about just how the neo-patronage program will work. Stay tuned!
You, Mur, JC and Nathan, nearly all my favourite podiobook authors in one place.
I’ll definitely be buying a copy.

Thanks, Jeff! “The Sovereign Era: Year One” is going to be a fun book… I’m excited as well!
I am *so* there. If you had a pre-order link up, you would have just sold a copy ;) Haven’t kept up with the web-stuff at all, that’s just not my schtick. But loved the podiobook of BMR, gave you a donation through PB.com for that and bought a print copy. So I’ll be buying one of these when it comes out. Hope to hear it in PB form too. The music underlying BMR was one of my favorite parts of the book.
Thanks, Arioch! I’ll have pre-order stuff when I’m closer to knowing the release date of the book.
If you liked the music from the Brave Men Run Podcast, you should get Peril Dance for yourself, for free, from iLike — and be sure to let the band know you heard about them from me!
Excellent Matt. Looking forward to more Sovereign Era stories. This
should be great. Anthologies like this are particularly entertaining.
I enjoy reading the different takes on a world from such a diverse
group of authors.
Thanks, Bruce! It’s gonna be fun!
Matt your one of my favorite authors. I enjoy reading the first book brave men run, and can’t wait until the new one comes out. Thanks for writing interesting books like the books you write.
Thank you, Anthony! I’m excited to release “The Sovereign Era: Year One” as soon as some organizational and logistical details are worked out.
