The Plan

by John Bachkosky (6/21/23)

Happy Summer Solstice!

As I mentioned in my April post, my band is hard at work on our second album! It’s become quite an ambitious project, but I (in my biased opinion) think it’s some of the coolest music. I can’t wait for you all to hear it early next year.

In the meantime, I’ve decided to forge ahead with Land of the Elements! Yes, that means that no agent I queried wanted to represent the book. More on that in a minute. I’ve decided that I want to leave some room for sequels to this book, so I need to rework the ending a bit to fit this new plan. This shouldn’t be a long process, but I do need to comb through the story once more to ensure all the details line up. Once that’s done, it’s self-publishing time!

Land of the Elements will be available this fall - I’ll announce the official date later this summer once I have all of my ducks in a row.

If you want to get a taste, you can read Chapter One now!

About the agents: While I’m disappointed that the agents I queried decided to pass (or just didn’t respond), I am still very proud of and excited about this book. It’s a love letter to my own childhood, and I hope everyone that reads it enjoys the adventure!
