Lorehaven publisher E. Stephen Burnett shared this news yesterday at EStephenBurnett.com:

My first novel is a science fiction adventure that will arrive spring 2025 from Enclave Publishing.

Today this fantastical publisher announced the news I’ve waited to disclose since I signed the contract in January.

Next year they will launch this title in hardcover. Digital. Audiobook. The works.

• Title? Can’t yet reveal that.
• Cover? Still in the sketch phase.
• Release date? First quarter of 2025.
• Synopsis? That’s also top secret. And yet …

Here’s the quote that appeared moments ago in the Enclave Publishing newsletter. (Sign up and get a free digital copy of Lindsay A. Franklin’s fantasy The Story Peddler!)

For most of my life I’ve explored biblical truth and fantastic imagination. Now here comes the plot twist! All along I’ve also been saving ideas for my own story. Like a certain grand ship, it’s been waiting in the hangar for system repairs, extra hull polish, and just the right moment for launch. Now I’m blessed to work with the fantastic Enclave crew on this mission that may fulfill the dream of one family exiled to a dead world—and even save their Church of the future.

Naturally, I’ve upgraded EStephenBurnett.com with new concept art and a new landscape.
