2025-10-19 22:09:10 +0000 UTCI'm loving the books, but that release schedule looks packed. Just don't burn out my guy.

2025-10-19 22:07:47 +0000 UTCAs is stated in this post, it's with the narrators. I don't have a set date yet but will update here as soon as I get info and can narrow it down. The closest I can guess is December/January based on audible delays.
M. Tress
2025-10-14 16:47:27 +0000 UTCWhen are you going to release the audiobook on Monster Girls In Space #6. I really really enjoy your books but have a hard time reading due to TBI and have to enjoy them through audio. So can't wait for it to come out.
Clarence Fairchild
2025-10-14 16:45:35 +0000 UTC34 to 70. I'll be pulling down those chapters shortly as they are the old unedited chapters and amazon requires that I not leave them up.
M. Tress
2025-10-07 11:43:13 +0000 UTCI love SBMG and read in on Royal Road. If book 1 was chapters 1-33, which chapters will be in book 2?
Jon Price
2025-10-07 10:10:18 +0000 UTCLoved the lasr lost bloodlnes book. Looking forward to the next 3!
Bryan Swanson
2025-09-28 14:14:39 +0000 UTCI'm glad you are enjoying the books so far. Its always been my goal to write interesting material to give my readers a break from reality. I'm not a veteran, but I have several friends who are and I try to keep things as true to their experience as I can to give an accurate portrayal for things. The idea that my books might one day become a movie is such an amazing one. I'd love to see it!
M. Tress
2025-09-13 11:56:17 +0000 UTCI'm new here but, like everything you have written. I'm just fan boying out right now. I'm just so curious are you a veteran. I am and some of your stuff rings as someone who knows or was in himself. Also can't wait for you new stuff. Dude your work is probably the best thing I have read in years. I PRAY you get a movie deal. Your ideas are fresh and new but your characters are the backbone of what legends are made. I am older so please take this to heart from a 53 year old nerd you are really really good. As a nerd I am sure that you series with monster girls in space is the best of company with Star Wars. I work for the mouse and have been telling everyone that is a reader that you are a fresh breath of air in the universe we follow. I also mean this with everything you write. It does the soul good to hear it sometimes. Please don't stop you are that good. I know that if you read this it sounds shallow but you are really good so don't listen to the idiots out there. Be proud of your work and just know that someone like me. Who takes the time to write this out are hundreds more who won't tell you but feel the same way. Just wanted to say it people always second guess if there good enough but I'm here to tell you ARE. Well that's enough of the ego boost. Just glad I stubble one of books to read in my downtime. You are good don't let anyone tell you're not. Well that was it just letting you know an old nerd loves your work

2025-09-13 11:47:27 +0000 UTCDecember 2025. I thought I'd updated the FAQ with that information, so no worries on asking.
M. Tress
2025-09-08 22:33:39 +0000 UTCI know you probably see this a lot but mgis 7 possible release season? I really love that series.
averageJoe
2025-09-08 22:18:55 +0000 UTCSummoned by Monster Girls will continue as a serial until the series itself ends. I expect that the serial readers will get the whole story before the publication cycle catches all the way up to it. Even if the publication cycle does though, I plan to keep the serial chapter release going for the regular readers until it hits its end.
M. Tress
2025-08-19 10:52:12 +0000 UTCWill you continue to make more chapters for Summoned by Monster Girls even after it becomes a full novel?
el trucko
2025-08-19 10:41:38 +0000 UTCI almost think its worse knowing when a book will come out 8/19 seems to be taking way to long to show up. Anyway cant wait to be able to read it then add it to my audible account so I can listen to it while working.
Jon Erwin
2025-08-13 23:07:29 +0000 UTCPre-order for MGIS6 goes up this coming Tuesday. Just getting stuff set up this weekend. 8/19 will be the release date on MGIS6
M. Tress
2025-08-01 09:56:20 +0000 UTCAs Preorder for Lost Legacy is going up, any news on the release date of MGIS 6? As much as I enjoy your other series (lately been binging SFL up to #3, incredible) I love the space setting and lore of MGIS the most. Can't wait to continue Des' journey!

2025-08-01 07:18:34 +0000 UTCnothing yet. Audible normally asks for 2-6 weeks from the date it was submitted to be approved, so it should be sometime in the next few weeks since we are at the 2-3 week mark.
M. Tress
2025-07-08 15:39:27 +0000 UTCAny word on mgis 5 audio
WolfKnight22
2025-07-08 15:37:09 +0000 UTCI am glad to hear that they are helping. I hope that things get better for you soon.
M. Tress
2025-06-30 21:28:55 +0000 UTCThank you for all your hard work! Your books are helping me get through a very difficult time in my life (PTSD).
A-KNTE
2025-06-30 18:31:34 +0000 UTCthe teasers for the next MGIS book will start up in a few weeks ;) so soon!
M. Tress
2025-06-29 17:22:57 +0000 UTCCan't wait for the space monster girls!
Jlaristotle
2025-06-29 17:01:59 +0000 UTCprobably about 20ish, but I don't actually have record of it
M. Tress
2025-06-18 03:31:31 +0000 UTCSfl 2 wasn't finished on here was it? If not what chapter did it end on? Been so long since I've read it
Eric Lavin
2025-06-18 01:55:23 +0000 UTCIt's in recording, so hopefully coming soon! I am looking forward to hearing what voices the actors pick for the girls too. Glad you are enjoying it! The FAQ's here get updated on stuff like that with release dates as I get them, as well as my socials and Discord server ;)
M. Tress
2025-06-17 16:16:24 +0000 UTClooking forward to more monster girls in space, Desmond is the Man i have the first two audio books of lost bloodlines also looking forward to Summoned by Monster Girls audio book, just keep on keeping on, you got some great Voice Actors doing a great job for ya,

2025-04-08 02:00:31 +0000 UTCPoor Belle. Curious to see how Desmond and the girls are going to spin this to all the hopefuls looking to join the team. 2 random newbies joining out of nowhere are gonna be a tough sell.
Together_Comic
2025-04-04 20:31:32 +0000 UTCHello How are you M.tress
Eva Daisy
2025-03-20 20:29:32 +0000 UTCYep, I let the people know about the issue on the audio already, I hope it's corrected soon. I thought I'd made an announcement here. Guess I will now!
M. Tress
2025-03-01 17:06:33 +0000 UTCWanted to let you know the MGIS 4 audio is out. I wanted to let the author know that the intro chapter is the outro chapter. but wanted to let people know it out and that. Question will all if lovers be taller then Desmond? Thought it such funny and cool aspect of the relationships. Thanks for all the great books

M. Tress
2025-02-24 19:16:03 +0000 UTCIs there a working book title to MGIS5 yet?
Bob Sneberger
2025-02-24 17:07:50 +0000 UTCYep. I rotate which ones are coming out as they come up in rotation. I can't leave the advance chapters up when I release the official publication, so I usually take them down about a week before official release. Currently its Lost Bloodline 2, which releases 3.9. Next up will be MGIS5 that starts on 3.3 to release mid April. After that it'll likely swap over to SFL3, but I haven't decided what the book after MGIS 5 is going to be yet.
M. Tress
2025-02-22 15:09:45 +0000 UTCDo you put out any advanced chapters of steel forged legacy here?
striderfighter
2025-02-22 14:09:43 +0000 UTCDefinitely maybe. It's not fully written yet so it's possible;)
M. Tress
2025-02-17 21:12:25 +0000 UTCI'll have to look into that and see. thanks for the idea.
M. Tress
2025-02-17 21:06:06 +0000 UTCCan you give us a hint if we will see Jorgia in MGIS5?
Bob Sneberger
2025-02-17 19:55:13 +0000 UTCMaybe you can open a store front on your website. Brandon Sanderson had a book come out and offered 500 signed books at regular price on his website. It was not advertised at all, just a one line sentence. They sold out in 15 minutes and I missed one when I tried to get one at the 20 minute mark.
Bob Sneberger
2025-02-17 19:52:57 +0000 UTCGlad you are looking forward to it. Wrapping the rough draft right now before it goes to the editors. Book 4's audio has been submitted, so it's just a matter of waiting on Audible to release it.
M. Tress
2025-02-16 03:27:19 +0000 UTCCan't wait for more mgis and for book four to come to audio
WolfKnight22
2025-02-15 21:24:00 +0000 UTCLookin forward to more MGiS!! Just re read the first 4 in prep for the 5th.
Jeremy Patrick
2025-02-10 06:58:43 +0000 UTCYes, you can order them through amazon.com. at the moment the only way to get signed copies is to catch me at an event. Still working out how to do signed ones I can ship out
M. Tress
2025-02-09 01:56:10 +0000 UTCAre paper copies of MGIS published and if they are, is it possible to get signed copies?
Bob Sneberger
2025-02-08 20:48:40 +0000 UTCGlad you enjoyed it. I considered going the angle of harry potter in space but the harem aspect was just too much fun to write
M. Tress
2025-01-10 00:36:10 +0000 UTCExcellent. I found your work for kindle on Amazon by looking to see the top books in science fiction. Book 1 came in at number 4 overall. Frankly I had no idea it was a harlequin. I was developing a story line of Harry Potter goes to space and your series is along those lines. I am enjoying the writings, and look forward to seeing how Desmond’s career progresses, and to find out if my guesses on how the story comes to fulfillment.
Bob Sneberger
2025-01-09 23:04:03 +0000 UTCYep! Book 5 for MGIS is on the way right now, should go out in april and I expect to start releasing the preview chapters sometime in february once Steelforged book 2 goes out
M. Tress
2025-01-09 22:54:18 +0000 UTCHello. Sorry to bother you while you work. Will there be updates on MGIS 5? Excellent series by the way.
Bob Sneberger
2025-01-09 22:47:19 +0000 UTCsweet, thanks for the heads up William!
M. Tress
2025-01-09 21:42:17 +0000 UTCIt out right now by the way. You have to type it into the search engine to have it show. Since audible takes a bit to add to the author page and that
William Tex
2025-01-09 20:30:09 +0000 UTCIt's with audible now so hopefully will be soon!
M. Tress
2025-01-04 17:17:14 +0000 UTCcant wait for MGIS 3 to be out on audio just loving them in audio
WolfKnight22
2025-01-04 17:15:43 +0000 UTCI appreciate it. Yeah there were some problems from the narrators that allowed errors to slip through. I'm working with them to re-proof everything and get it corrected and reuploaded.
M. Tress
2024-11-23 16:32:09 +0000 UTCWill there be an update for the audiobook? There are some mistakes in the audio where the lines are being repeated, likely the editing missed something. I think I noticed 3 or 4 instances so far... still have 5h to go until I finish the audiobook. Didn't want to put this out on Audible..
Tikerusey
2024-11-23 16:14:56 +0000 UTCYes actually! I just heard from Royal Guard today that it's with ACX, so sometime in the next two weeks we should see book 1 go live on audible. I'll make a big announcement when it does :D Also, yes, both MGIS and Steelforged Legacy will be dual audio.
M. Tress
2024-11-01 20:05:25 +0000 UTCHi I was wondering if there was any update on the Audible for MGIS. Also will it be single narrator or duel? I ask due to reading threw it and would love to listen to it why working on projects or house work. thanks for taking the time and writing this series and Also Steel Forged.
William Tex
2024-11-01 19:50:28 +0000 UTCYes that’s them thanks 😁
Nicholas Stone
2024-09-23 10:36:41 +0000 UTCprobably thinking the Tra'Kaal, the sneaky one that was with Throneblood?
M. Tress
2024-09-23 10:35:09 +0000 UTCM. Tress, I am loving your work and was first hooked on your MGIS series. I am finishing up my second read through before I start on your SBMG series on RR. I’m not sure if you will have Des pick up any more girls for his team but it would be awesome and interesting if one of the ones he picks up is on of the Hands (can’t remember the species name)
Nicholas Stone
2024-09-22 23:46:09 +0000 UTCHope you enjoy them, at the moment the only other one out in the wild is Summoned by Monster Girls, which is entirely on Royal Road at the moment (Save the early release chapters here). Hoping to have book 4 for MGiS out in november, but that's all dependent on if Des and his girls cooperate or not. That and Steelforged Legacy next month. Trying to get more material out to folks and burning through the backlog of what I have written xD.
M. Tress
2024-09-20 19:15:51 +0000 UTCThank you so much for sharing your stories. I burned through all 3 MGIS books in about 2 days. (Muscle mommy Monster Girls are a weakness of mine lol) I am a huge lore nerd and your setting was fascinating! I also really enjoyed your sense of humor and how your presented the narratives. I'll be consuming the rest of your works as I find them, and as soon as my money situation improves, pitchin into the Patreon Proper!
WandRnMonk
2024-09-20 18:32:16 +0000 UTCBeen reading mgis and its soooo good. In later books wil des be able to do permanent enhancements? Gotta admit I was a bit disappointed he only had one speciality
Ryan Helmbold
2024-09-18 23:49:26 +0000 UTCGreat! I'm glad that it is working out for ya ;) hope you enjoy the book!
M. Tress
2024-07-15 19:32:52 +0000 UTCManaged to bloody complete the order it was a minor address mismatch... now I can catch up with the rest of the chapters without the new ones spoiling me <3
werotan
2024-07-15 14:46:53 +0000 UTCthat is very weird. Was it via the website or via kindle app? i know a few folks that were having issues with it via the app/phone that had better luck accessing it via the web on their phone, they just had to swap it to 'desktop site' mode on the cell.
M. Tress
2024-07-15 10:08:49 +0000 UTCTried to buy book 1 today and amazon won't process the payment witch us funny because they have no issues processing audible payments...
werotan
2024-07-14 21:14:53 +0000 UTCfor MGiS book 1 yeah. I plan to do a few teaser chapters for each of the books as they wind up and get started, and then when I move to a longer release schedule, teaser chapters will come out for the other books for a good month or more.
M. Tress
2024-07-06 22:10:13 +0000 UTCIs chapter 13 the cutoff for book 1 and will you post any future chapters on here?
