The journey is finally complete, but far from over. Seems like double speak, but if you give me a moment, I will explain. First, I want to take this moment to announce, far and wide that, APOK CrossFire, the series finale has finally been released (October 22nd, 2025) and currently available from retail outlets around the world. With the release of the 3rd novel in the series, this marks the end of this writing journey which has spanned 14 years in total. Saying that (writing that), seems unbelievable even to me. It is not lost on me that there are so many people I would like to thank.
There are thousands of you who have supported me and this writing adventure, many of whom are captured in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT section in the back of my books. To all those who have helped no matter how small of a favor, thank you. Thank you to all the fans who have stuck with me and had the patience to stick around, and all those who have joined the cause along the way, thank you.
I have poured myself into finishing this series with a novel that is sure to entertain those stuck between the covers until the final page is turned. I am happy with the ending as were the ARC readers, who took the time to digest the heftiest novel out of three and provide a review. A very special thank you to the ARC readers, Mark, Erin, David and Kathryn.
While this marks the end of the writing for this series, this certainly does not end the APOK adventures… they have just begun.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD “MARKETING”?
Do you have any ideas that could be done to get the novel series into readers’ hands? Please contact me and let me know what you’re thinking… No matter how crazy you might think it is, let me know… or maybe you know someone that’s willing to help.
If you are like so many others who have told me that APOK deserves to be on the silver screen, please help it get it there. There is only one sure way that it will get there, and that’s if APOK becomes a huge success. For that to happen, The APOK Series could really use the help of each and everyone of you. Can I count on you to spread the word, and make APOK a household name? The following are some simple ways to help, because, Every little bit Counts.
• Like and share APOK content, pictures etc
• Write and post a review online, Goodreads, Amazon, Indigo, and Barnes and Noble
• Buy and distribute copies to others – with the holidays just around the corner, this would be a great gift for a reader who has everything.
Regardless what you think of MARKETING, without it, masterpieces would have never been discovered / enjoyed…I just hope that you think APOK is deserving of your time to make the effort. And for those who are so willing to help out the APOK cause, let me know and you can win some fantastic APOK swag.
Until next time, this has been,
Mike
Author of the APOK Series
