Four Centuries Release Date
I shouldn’t even bother with a release date, and just release Four Centuries on a whim, like I always do. But I should try to act like an actual author, and build anticipation, all that fun stuff I am not good at. š Four Centuries is done, however I want the weekend available for one “final” check, make sure there are no goofy issues that sometimes happen when converting for Kindle, Nook, etc.
So, the release date is December 15th. Just in time for a quick Christmas read. Monday night I’ll submit it to all the sites, and the next morning it should be ready to go (paperback a few weeks later). Tell all your friends, your dog, your boss that hates vampire novels. You know what to do. š
As always, drop me a line or comment to let me know if you enjoyed (or not).
This was a scary novel. Even knowing Victoria as well as I do, I was still nervous writing it. Chapter 1 alone took a few months to get through. I just didn’t know how to begin Victoria’s tale. But once that was over the rest of the novel went together fast.
I had a lot of fun exploring her relationship with Zoey. For those unfamiliar, Zoey made her first appearance as a minor character in Demons LLC. It was in writing her scenes in that novel that I thought it would be interesting to pair her with Victoria. Another take on the “old” vs. “new”. I don’t exactly see her becoming one of the core characters, but I think she will pop up from time to time. (FYI, I consider the core, Victoria, Jack, Kevin, Alex. Although, there is possibility for Marie, the werewolf, to slip inside the circle).
Okay, that’s enough rambling. Two full-length novels in one year. Not sure if that will ever happen again. I hope you enjoy. š

I vote for a hell yes Marie should be in the circle. As was referenced she is part of Jack’s Pack, though Alex, Kevin, and Victoria will give him some crap over it…
December 11, 2015 @ 2:48 pm
I definitely agree YES to Marie!! What little part she had was great!!! I’ve always wanted to see more of her in the group (kinda helps diversify our little family huh??)
December 10, 2015 @ 2:56 pm
Being part of a pack I mean not about Marie Joining…
December 10, 2015 @ 3:16 pm
Yay! Finally and thank you. I enjoy your books very much can not wait to get my hands on this book. Keep up the good good work!
December 10, 2015 @ 3:16 pm

December 10, 2015 @ 3:29 pm
I have been checking monthly for your next release, I’ve read all of your books, but am addicted to this series. Wonderful stories!
December 10, 2015 @ 4:58 pm
COOL!!!!!! Can’t wait!!!!!
December 11, 2015 @ 3:56 am
Very much looking forward to this. Have really enjoyed all of your books. Would love to see more of Jack and Marie.
December 11, 2015 @ 4:24 am
Can’t wait! Really missed Jack and the gang.
December 11, 2015 @ 2:59 pm
Thank you for the update Glenn!! I just put the 15th on my calendar. This is Great. I also wanted to add that I think it would be great to add Marie to the inner circle (to what ever degree?) If this is the case then we can look forward to seeing more books?? HOORAY!! I personally think she would fit in nicely!!… you have my approval ;-D LOL BOO-YAH!! Can’t wait for four centuries and all the rest your genius is going to spin out. Keep on keepin’ on buddy!!
December 12, 2015 @ 10:58 am
Just made my weekend!
December 12, 2015 @ 8:47 pm
I’d like Marie to get into the ‘inner circle.’ Maybe not get her own book, but I think she would be an interesting partner to Jack. Also, I can envision an interesting dynamic between her and Tiffany.

Just got my Kindle copy!
December 15, 2015 @ 6:58 am
Let me know if you enjoy. š Crossing my fingers.
December 15, 2015 @ 7:23 am
It’s great!
December 16, 2015 @ 4:22 am
sitting down to read this now, fresh off a reread of demons llc
December 16, 2015 @ 6:59 am
Ah nice, let me know if you enjoy. š The introduction of Zoey in this novel is a continuation from Demons LLC.
December 16, 2015 @ 9:16 am
Is this going to be released in any other book stores for epub or mobi? I don’t have a kindle and I’ve been waiting for any of the other formats to be released so I can read this book. š Can’t wait to read it!
December 16, 2015 @ 9:50 am
Sure. I use Smashwords to handle distribution to Kobo, Barnes and Noble, Apple, etc. So it’s a little slower than Amazon. I’ll submit to them tonight, but there might be a delay in getting it to their sites. And the paperback version is in the works as well.
December 18, 2015 @ 5:46 pm
Just finished reading, and I really liked the book. I was just wondering whether Victoria is so much faster and stronger than the other vamps because of her age, or is it more like she’s so much older that she just has exponentially more experience at fighting?
December 21, 2015 @ 11:03 am
The “feel” I was going for was that she isn’t necessarily stronger or faster, but the experience is what makes her better. The “newborn” vampires, as I like to call them, simply don’t know what they’re capable of, which is why she can handle them much easier than in dealing with someone older.

They are like rich kids who have just got access to their trust funds.
December 19, 2015 @ 12:33 am
Great book, it was fun reading about Victoria, loved the new characters, and old of course. Keep em’ coming and I’ll keep buying…
Don’t forget to go to author central and add it to your author’s page, the book doesn’t show there yet, only in a kindle store search.
December 21, 2015 @ 11:01 am
Just did, a step I always forget. Thank you much for reminding me. So many little things to do when releasing a new book.
December 20, 2015 @ 1:58 pm
The book was great! I couldn’t put it down and finished it in one reading. I am definitely looking forward to the next installment in this series. And while I loved the book, more action/involvement for Alex, please (if you can’t tell, he is my favorite character)!!!
December 21, 2015 @ 11:01 am
This is good to hear. I’ve been avoiding reviews on this one, so good to hear someone enjoyed. š
December 21, 2015 @ 11:14 am
Turned out great! Took a little longer to read as I was rereading the others.
Thanks for a wonderful addition to the series!
So, any info on book #7? š
December 21, 2015 @ 11:36 am
Book #8 that is…
December 21, 2015 @ 11:40 am
I’m going to make a post about this soon, but I have an idea in the works. Kind of sleeping on it for a little bit. Part of me wants to take at least a novel break from the series, but an idea popped in my head that might be hard to ignore. It all started out as a pairing that caught me by surprise, and it’s kind of moved from there.
December 30, 2015 @ 4:50 am
Sure hope there is another year with two books, 2016! I read all your damned books starting November 19 and finishing the first 6 on November 24, then read the newest this evening. I don’t know how I can wait a whole year for another one! Really enjoy the characters, particularly Jack.
January 2, 2016 @ 1:33 pm
Just wondering if there is another place to purchase the book that isn’t Kindle/Amazon.
January 2, 2016 @ 1:38 pm
Nevermind — I couldn’t wait lol, I bought it from amazon.ca. š
January 5, 2016 @ 10:59 am
Sorry, I missed this. Hopefully soon it will be available in Barnes and Noble.
Although I admit, I’m playing with the idea of KDP Select.
January 5, 2016 @ 8:27 am
And enter the upcoming issues between Kevin and Alicia due to Zoey hanging around š
January 5, 2016 @ 9:14 am
I feel terrible to admit that thoughts of this did cross my mind. I like the few scenes Kevin and Zoey had. But I tried my best to get across there was no romance there. I’m not a big fan of love triangles. I just feel they’re overdone, and can easily become a crutch in fiction. Twilight was based on one, and even The Hunger Games had an element of “Who will she choose?” Author: Oh no, I need to introduce some tension in a relationship. I know! Love triangle! š I don’t think I’ll be going that route anytime soon. But I wondered to myself, as a joke…Alicia or Zoey, who will Kevin choose?….And the Hollywood agents comes busting down my door! š
Kevin and Alicia do have some problems coming up, but they’re not based around another lady or guy, that’s for sure.
February 29, 2016 @ 2:02 am
Thank you for not delving into the overdone love triangle. As a female reader you would think I would love it, but all it does is detract from the characters and make for repetitive reading. So again thank you.
January 16, 2016 @ 6:47 am
Thoroughly enjoyed all the books in this series, thanks for your effort! Would agree that Marie would be a nice addition, as would Nate, though you need to be mindful that, as a group, they don’t become too unbeatable ( a problem John Conroe had to deal with in The Demon Accords).
Looking forward to reading how the “Vampire Council” respond to Victoria, they don’t even know about Alex!
Best wishes for the future, and get cracking.
February 25, 2016 @ 5:26 pm
You need to have one of every creature represented within the circle. There isn’t a werewolf yet, so Marie would be the best bet. I really thought you were going to have them form a group…..kind of like a superhero circle fighting the bad guys. You DO lean towards this in a way, but it still seems a bit broken.
Everyone still lives in separate states and has separate lives which is fine and as it should be, but as a group of the strongest supernatural creatures in the world, they don’t have a set plan in place for emergencies and teamwork.
You’re mixing them together here and there because they either live close enough together or Kevin can make a portal but it still seems like they all haven’t quite pulled their act together yet.
I don’t think Zoey should be part of this team either. She did ok as part of the storyline in this last book, but she should go on her way once she’s stable. I also wasn’t crazy about this last installment. In the beginning you repeated quite a bit of the previous book.
And….I get it. Amet told people about the portal in Victoria’s hotel room, which sent Patrick after Kevin, but
it seemed so drastic going after Kevin like that. Dozens of people willing to shoot up civilian buildings and show themselves to the public like that? Didn’t work for me.
I don’t know….For some reason all of this just didn’t knit together like the other stories. Amet was given $50K. That’s quite a lot of money for just turning on Victoria like that and Amet was shown as being a good guy. Didn’t quite mesh or make sense.
Also, there are so many wrong words in sentences and missing words as well. The amount of mistakes in the text throughout all of the books is really overwhelming. You’re a really good writer and I mean that wholeheartedly, but having so many problems in these books brings you down.
You need a professional editor.
February 26, 2016 @ 7:57 am
I’ll try to do better on the mistakes.
February 26, 2016 @ 12:57 pm
Personally Glenn, I see the haters, and I disagree. Completely. This has been one of my favorite reads in a long time, and lately I have been finding myself reading a lot. I love what you have done with these characters, bringing myths into the new century in some of the best urban fantasy I’ve read in a very long while. I love your cast of characters, with Jack and Tiffany probably being my absolute favorite. But them aside…I read one of your previous comments, and I am really glad you made the decision to hook Kevin up with Alicia. I love the chemistry there (Heh…witch…chemistry..) and really hope that’s something that lasts. They have both been through some really rough patches and I want them to come out the other side with each other. I would never presume to tell an author what to do with his books, but damn I hope they hold together. Anyway, after this long rant, I just want to say thank you again for putting out such an outstanding series, and I can’t wait to read more of it in the future!
February 29, 2016 @ 2:00 am
Please add Marie. She is someone who can truly understand and appreciate Jack.
