Hello everyone! It’s been long enough without posting these updates, so I wanted to let you all know what’s going on with this author and his books.

Starting with how the next book is going, it’s not just one book that has been going, so to speak. Hunters: Act II is still being worked on, and I’ve done some initial drafting of the opening chapters for the mainline series with Season II: Act VI. This summer is going to be a busy time for me, but I’m still finding time now and again to sit down and get to writing. However, it’s not just these two books I’ve been working on, and for good reason.

As of this date, I’ve written 18 books for Chronicles of Eden. Almost to the big 20, I know, we’ll get there soon enough. But to keep from going a little crazy from writing the same thing over and over again, and to help prevent writer’s block which has been creeping up now and again, I wanted to put my writing skills to making something completely different. This is both to keep things fresh and help relax the mind from overdoing itself with Eden nonstop, as well as work on a story that I’ve been meaning to make for a long time now. And I know what you’re thinking, “Oh no, he’s working on 3 different stories at once? Wouldn’t it be better to focus fire on one at at time to get them out quicker?”. Well, that’s what I’ve been doing with Eden for so long now, and as many have noticed, I’m not getting the books out as rapidly as I used to. Simply put, I need to get some fresh creative juices flowing here or else I’m going to stagnate writing the same thing over and over again. Don’t get me wrong, I love the world of Eden and I’m looking forward to seeing the story grow even larger, but trying to force the chapters onto the pages has been a slow battle lately that I want to course-correct before it turns into a troublesome wall.

So while I have been making progress with the next two Eden books, I’ve only been able to slowly add to them while trying to keep focused and motivated. With that being the case, I’ve been using most of my free time that is for writing to make this new story that I’m finding it easier to put my focus and time into. A new story, a new world, new characters, and a different tone compared to that of Eden. It’s refreshing being able to create something like this, and also I feel it will help recharge the mental batteries so I can then focus more on Eden and get those books coming out faster than they are now.

So what is this new story, you may ask? It’s been one that I’ve been quietly drafting for a while now, with multiple versions being written and then re-written, and then deleted and written again, and then deleted and written even harder after that, before finding the right tone and pacing that I was looking for. For those who have read my blog posts in the past, you may remember me mentioning this work-in-progress that I’ve been tinkering with, and now it’s finally getting the focus and work put into it to make it come alive. The story is titled “The Sword and the Shield”, and for fans of my Eden books and my Rosario+Vampire fanfic, you’ll know exactly who will be starring in this new adventure. The sisters Apoch and Astreal, who were my very first original characters I created when I started writing, will finally have a tale that they’ll be main characters of. I’ll be posting the preview chapter of this story soon on my publishing website, I hope it proves to be entertaining and worth the wait for new content for everyone.

Aside from my writing, life has been going well, and lots to look forward to in the coming months as we enter the last half of 2026. I’m looking forward to Palworld leaving early access, and will be restarting my server and jumping into the world as soon as it releases in just over two weeks. I’ll be traveling a bit with the wife, always fun to go through airport security and chill on the flight with our Steam Decks. And I’m planning to have some big revisions done to the house this fall and winter, really need to redo a lot of the rooms and make our game room and home offices look much nicer, so that’s going to be exciting to see unfold.

And that concludes my big announcements for now. As always, thank you everyone who has continued to support me and my stories all this time. I know with the loss of Amazon as a retailer its made it difficult for some to keep following me and reading my books, and for those who still continue to do so and to all the new readers who have found my books on their many new online storefronts, thank you so much for helping keep my stories alive. I may just be a small indie author, but I’m so happy seeing the worlds and characters I’ve created being enjoyed by so many people around the world, and I hope many more will take a chance on this weird little author’s books for the first time.

Until next time, stay awesome, everyone!

Hello everyone! It’s been a busy month, both for writing and for all the other stuff that makes up real life outside of writing a fantasy saga involving horny monstergirls. While I’m sure the ongoings of my personal daily life are of little interest to most of you, there’s plenty going on in the world of Eden that I wanted to share.

For starters, here’s a first look of a neko set to join the cast of Hunters when the upcoming Act II is released. This little monstergirl can’t wait to make a name for herself as a famous and rich adventurer just like her mother, which is sure to bring all manner of chaos down upon our band of antiheroes when she makes her debut. Say hello to Jewel.

The story of Hunters: Act II is still progressing, no release date yet for when it will be out this year, though as soon as a date is set you can be sure to see an update here when I announce it. I will be continuing to work diligently to get the next volume released as soon as I can.

In other news, another volume of Sirens of Eden has been uploaded to my YouTube channel, this time featuring the ladies of the Defenders harem taking the stage to make some wonderful music. I’ve updated the page on my Chronicles of Eden website to include a direct link to the channel as it was getting to be a little much having so many media players for each volume building up on the website. That and I figured the playlists on YouTube would be a much better and easier navigation experience for viewers.

Lastly, regarding what to expect after Hunters: Act II is released and the next book in the mainline series comes out afterward, it should come as no surprise that the next entry will focus on Daemon and his followers regarding their quest and what they’ve been up to during recent events. Not to mention Daemon’s girls need their fair share of attention as well, or at least a few more of them other than Sasha 😉

And with that, it’s back to the grind for me. I will try to post future updates more frequently to let everyone know I’m still alive and working to share the growing story in the Chronicles of Eden. Thank you all for your continued support. Stay awesome, everyone!

Finally got around to uploading the music of Sirens of Eden to YouTube on my channel. I’ll be uploading Volumes 4 and 5 of Sirens of Eden to both my website and YouTube soon, and I’m working to get lyric videos made for the popular songs first before doing the rest. Head on over to the YouTube channel HERE to check out the music videos and enjoy the sounds of Eden’s beautiful ladies.

Hello everyone! First off, no, none of what follows is an April Fool’s joke, I just chose to publish this update and changes today because I didn’t want to wait until tomorrow just because of what date it is. Having said that, here’s what’s new and what’s coming up in the future for Chronicles of Eden.

Starting with the upcoming book in the series, Hunters: Act II is progressing nicely and I’m happy to showcase one of the latest art pieces made for the book, that being the new reptile girl in town, Layla.

This girl is sure to bring plenty of excitement, and probably trouble too, for Seth and his group of bounty hunters. There’s still more character art to make, more chapters to write, and a few more teases and subtle hints about where the story will be going to be penned out, but it won’t be long before the next entry in the series is published for all to enjoy. I’ll be posting more updates for the book and its upcoming characters as they develop.

Next, I’m happy to announce I’ve added a new section to the Chronicles of Eden website, that being the “Sirens of Eden” page that is now linked on the homepage and the search bar. At long last it’s time to add some musical flair to the world of Eden, and the lovely ladies of the story are going to be taking the stage to do just that. There are currently three volumes of musical scores that are available for fans of the story to enjoy, with more being planned and made in the near future. I’m also in the process of making animated lyric videos for them which will be posted on my YouTube channel once they’re done (a slow process because writing lyrics is one thing, but animating them is another, but the end result is going to be amazing).

I’ll be updating more of the Chronicles of Eden website along with adding more character bio entries as well, as some of the characters are still missing their details pages while others could use an update. Will try to make more time for this when I can.

And that’s about it for now. Thank you everyone for your continued support and I hope you enjoy the new and upcoming content for Eden. As for me, it’s back to the grind as usual. Stay awesome, everyone!

Hello all! It’s been a while since I last posted an update, so I figured I’d best let everyone know I’m still alive and kicking. A lot has been going on in my life and I’ve been meaning to post more often so readers know what’s coming up next with my books, so I’m sorry to keep everyone waiting.

First off, I’m sure everyone has noticed a recent increase in illustrations I’ve been posting, and also that they’re created with AI. I know some people don’t mind if art is made in AI, and others don’t like it for one reason or another. So let me be clear with my stance on it and how it’s being used with me. To start with, I personally don’t mind AI art. Yes, it’s not always perfect, believe me I’ve gone through many failed creations before uploading the art pieces you now see in the gallery. Sometimes the AI gets it spot on, other times it takes multiple tries to get even the simplest thing correct. That’s how it goes, and only time will help AI get better and more reliable. I don’t mind that fact.

For now, know that I’ve only been using the AI for fun and extra illustrations to post online. It’s amazing to me how easily it can create art and I’ve always wanted to have more illustrations and ideas for the characters come to life. And yes, and it’s considerably cheaper and easier to do it that way, I won’t lie. But for my published books, those are still using artwork created by humans. Maybe I will switch to AI with those in the future, but for now I don’t mind paying the higher prices for illustrations made by human beings to use with the books as I want those art pieces to not only be similar to one another to keep it consistent, but also when it comes to monstergirls, AI can sometimes be hard to wrangle with. I can’t tell you how many times Specca’s illustrations came out with her having a mermaid tail. Mermaids are not nixies, AI! Why don’t you understand this?? And have you noticed that Reiko hasn’t had any AI art of her made yet? Yes, the AI doesn’t understand how Reiko should look given her monster form. Still working on that. And if that doesn’t work out, at least she is getting a new look soon in Season II

So for those who don’t like AI art, you can rest easy knowing the books I publish are still using art made by humans. And for those that don’t mind AI art, I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing all the extra content made for the series. And if you have any suggestions of what you’d like to see with the characters next, let me know in the comments.

Next up, what’s going to happen with my publishing given what happened with Amazon? First, regarding my Amazon store page getting taken down, and since Amazon support won’t even reply to my inquiries about it anymore, it’s safe to say they don’t care that they wrongfully terminated another indie publisher and are just going to keep looking the other way. That being the case, there are two things I’m going to be doing. Number 1, I’m going to keep publishing to the many other online retailers that are hosting my books, with all the store links being listed under each book on my AGordonPublishing and Chronicles of Eden websites. I’m also getting ready to have paperback and hardcover versions of them made again with other retailers, more on that later. And, Number 2, I’m debating adding a tagline to all my books now. Perhaps something along the lines of “Chronicles of Eden – A monstergirl harem series too hot for Amazon!”. What do you all think? It’s a work in progress.

Regarding the next book in the series, that would be Hunters – Act II, with the initial draft for Season II – Act VI also being written up and planned for release after. I’m looking forward to expanding the world of Eden through Seth’s eyes, and the new faces that are going to be showing up will bridge the side story with the main story even closer together. It’s almost like they’re going to cross over at some point, am I right?

Lastly, what have I been doing in my spare time, if any, when not writing? The usual really. Been working on getting through my expansive movie and anime backlog (it’s a losing battle, but I still must try). On the gaming front, I’ve been enjoying Helldivers 2 (For Democracy!), the classic world in World of Warcraft (For The Alliance!), the stories and amazing characters in Genshin Impact (For my teams of hot, badass girls!), and also journeying once again through the world of Skyrim (For the Dark Brotherhood! Yes, I’m not always on the side of justice in these games).

So that’s about it for now. I’ll try to post more updates frequently to keep everyone up to speed on what’s going on with my books and such, and of course I plan to post more illustrations of Eden to bring more of the world and its fantasy to life for all. Until next time, stay awesome everyone!

I wanted to let everyone know that I am aware that not all the new ebook storefronts are showing up under the Books2Read page link posted under all my books. They were supposed to be automatically added in, but some don’t appear to be showing up still. To fix this I’m adding them to my websites directly. I’ve included store links for Barnes & Noble and Smashwords under all books that have their store pages up. I will continue to monitor and add more if they are not included in the Books2Read page as they should be. And yes, I am also looking into options for adding paperback books again for those who like to physically hold the books. More details on that to come. Until then, happy reading!

From the world of Eden and myself, wishing everyone out there a merry Christmas and a wonderful holiday weekend!

For everyone wondering what’s been going on over at Amazon and the book storepages going missing as they have, I’m afraid I have some bad news. Recently I received a notice from Amazon that my Kindle storepage had been taken down, citing only a vague reason for my account “attempting to manipulate their services”. Responding to the notice to dispute it was only met with automated messages from their system, ignoring everything I wrote and saying the decision was final. Of the rare times I was able to contact a human being at Amazon to talk about the account being wrongfully closed, I was redirected to their automated system, which again replied with a basic “tough luck, we made our choice.” Multiple attempts to appeal the wrongful termination of my account were met with deaf ears from their automated replies.

So there you have it. I have no idea why my account was flagged for suspicious behavior, I have no ability to dispute their claim as they will not listen to anyone, and based on what I’ve heard from horror stories of other authors suffering the same problem like this out of the blue in the past, there is no recourse as Amazon simply doesn’t care if their system wrongfully terminated someone’s account. And no, I’m not calling for a “Boycott Amazon, boo on Amazon!” campaign here. As upset as I am about these events, I’m not blind to the fact that there is simply nothing I can do about it. Nothing will change Amazon’s mind, nothing will make them see the error that was made, and as much as I don’t care for them now, it’s not like I’m going to stop ordering from Amazon’s website in the future myself because, let’s face it, they have a monopoly on online service and product sales and there really is no getting around that.

I will, however, be taking down my audiobook version of Chronicles of Eden – Act I from their ACX service, as I don’t see a reason to continue selling my books of any kind on their platform after this abuse. I suspect they will not notice nor care about that either.

And that brings us up to now. Over a decade of selling on Amazon with my books has just been wiped out, just like that, all because of what was likely a simple error on their part that they couldn’t be bothered with fixing. Still, this does show that it isn’t practical or safe to “carry all your eggs in one basket”, so to speak. While Amazon will no longer be a storefront for my books, there are other options that I’ve begun reinstating, and I will not be going with any platforms that require they be the sole distributor of my books again.

With that, I have updated all the store links on my AGordongPublishing.com and ChroniclesofEden.com websites to direct to the now open storefronts for my books. Some are still in the process of coming online, and I have to find a few more homes for the digital collections that are currently only available on Google Play Books. I know there are people that only prefer to use Amazon for their ebooks, and to that all I can say is, sorry but I would not expect Amazon to reverse their decision out of the goodness of their hearts at this point, so do not expect to see my books coming back there again. And to everyone who posted reviews for my books in the past, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to screenshot them before the pages were taken down. I did love reading what people wrote about my stories, and I hope to see new ones appear as I continue to write my books and publish them for as long as I can.

For now, below is a list of the ebook distributors that will host my books moving forward:

• Google Play Books
• Barnes&Noble
• Rakuten Kobo
• Apple Books
• Everand
• Tolino
• OverDrive
• CloudLibrary
• Baker&Taylor
• Hoopla
• Odilo
• Vivlio
• BorrowBox
• Smashwords
• Palace Marketplace
• Gardners
• Fable

Just wanted to update my readers that at the moment there is a problem displaying the Amazon storefront for the books. I’ve already reached out to Amazon regarding this and hope to have it fixed soon. Sorry for any inconvenience to those who were looking to get any of the books. Will keep everyone updated on this as well as what’s coming up next with the series soon.

Hello everyone! It’s been long enough without any updates, so I wanted to break the silence and talk about everything that’s going on and what’s coming up.

First off, I hope everyone is enjoying the latest Eden book. And yes, as many might have noticed, it is the biggest entry in the series to date. In fact, it was so big, that when trying to upload the hardcover manuscript to Amazon, I actually hit the page limit and couldn’t do it until I made the font one size smaller to decrease the page count just enough. So yes, it is in fact the biggest Eden book out there, which brings up something I wanted to let readers know. I am going to try to keep future books from becoming so overwhelmingly large like this again. I want to keep the size more manageable and release the books more often rather than letting them build up to these huge volumes that aren’t released as frequently. I was tempted to split this book into two volumes and balance them out, however I really wanted to finish the current story arcs that were going on and didn’t want to keep them going into another volume. The characters need to move along to keep the story going, so I decided to end the current story arcs in this latest book, which meant some pretty big chapters to tell everything. So for those of you who like really big books, I hope you enjoy this one all the more. To those that prefer smaller entries, know that I’m going to work to keep the page count down in future books compared to this behemoth.

Next, something that readers may have noticed is that all my books are back to being Amazon exclusives, which means they are once again available for KindleUnlimited subscribers. The choice to remove them from the other markets was made due to a few factors. One, I hate having to exclude or censor illustrations like I’ve had to do through Draft2Digital’s publishers, I want to show off all the amazing artwork and characters this series has to offer. Two, managing so many publishing platforms and working on advertisements and book links for everything was rather difficult and time consuming. And three, the majority of readers do appear to be coming from Amazon, so from a marketing sense it would be easier to focus my advertisements and promos through one marketplace rather than juggling so many others for little gain. So as of now and moving forward into the foreseeable future, all book releases will be Amazon exclusives. Except for possibly audiobooks.

Speaking of audiobooks, there are some things in the works regarding that, but that’s going to be a dedicated post at a later date. For now, know that the prospect of turning the entire series into audiobooks hasn’t been abandoned and is still being explored.

Moving on to what’s coming up next in the series, I’m happy to announce I’ve already begun work on Chronicles of Eden: Hunters – Act II, and once that is done I have the storyboard for Chronicles of Eden: Season II – Act VI written up for what’s next in the mainline series. Make sure to check out the official Chronicles of Eden website for all updates and teasers.

And that’s all I’ve got for now. Thank you all for your continued support. There’s so much more to tell in this story, and I’m looking forward to sharing it with you all. Until next time, stay awesome, everyone!
