The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #565: Thirteenth Hour Sequel Update 14 - Plot Overview

About this episode

Joshua Blum discusses the plot details of The Thirteenth Hour sequel and the release of its soundtrack.

This week, I wanted to go over some main details of the plot of The Thirteenth Hour sequel, which is really four stories in one - Aurora's tale, Logan's tale, Alfred (from the first book's tale), and the plot that weaves them all together. It might be too big for one book. But so far, I'm just writing! 96K words so far and probably only half done. I know I'll have a lot of editing to do! More next week! ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Once Upon a Dream , the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form! It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp , Spotify , and YouTube Music . (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes, CDs, and special editions of the album there as well.) -Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album: -->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM -->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc -->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo -->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth…
