Dvorak Update: Act 2 Is Coming!

With the new year upon us, I've had a couple of people ask me when Dvorak is coming back, and I thought I'd give an update!

As mentioned before, Dvorak will take a break during November and December each year it runs. This isn't a fluke -- November is National Novel Writing Month, which I do every year, and it's hard to keep up a consistent update schedule during the holidays. After that, Dvorak will go for one book (twenty chapters), take a short break for some plot building (coming up with ideas and what not), then launch the second book and finish by November.

This cannot happen without you. Dvorak will ALWAYS run off of fan ideas. Without you, the series falls flat. I will always use your ideas in any up and coming Dvorak chapter. You can submit your comments here on the Dvorak site; or if you are logged into Wattpad, you can leave a comment or send me a direct message.

With that, now that it's almost December, I wanted to remind you that I'm sticking by my date. The new Dvorak book, Digital Merge, will start on December 28th! Yes, that's a Saturday. No, don't ask questions. Yes, get hype. This is going to be awesome.

I'm not going to spoil anything about the new book yet, but I will give some clear-cut rules and info:

-- The series will feature our Dealey Five once again, with Isabel Gonzalez leading them on their first mission.
-- Digital Merge will begin on December 28th with a special prologue chapter; after that, the series will run for 40 chapters, two being posted each Friday. Because of this, the chapters will be smaller. (I'm experimenting with this format to help break up monotony that I experienced with The Dealey Five -- plus there will be more characters in Digital Merge, so we'll need the breaks to make sure we cover everybody!)
-- Much like The Dealey Five did, Digital Merge will be featuring some old characters that I'm excited to bring back to SOSI/Cap-Sid.. I hope to have more actual updates on this site now that it's up and running, featuring more details and background information.

While Digital Merge is updating, The Dealey Five will go through quick edits and be available in book format soon (read: when my cover artist finds a boombox). I know I'll be looking forward to seeing it next to Dvorak Classic on my bookshelf. Please continue to support Dvorak, and read Digital Merge when it premiers on December 28th! I look forward to it.
