Yep! You read that title correctly!
After careful consideration, I've decided to lower the price of the Kindle ebook from $9.99 to $4.99 in order to compete with other new books and to make a purchase more appealing to all you guys who are interested in buying the book!
In addition to the lower price, I'm calling on all you fans! When you finish reading the book, please leave an honest review on Amazon.com!
Thanks, everyone!

The Archangels Q&A
Hello,
A few days ago, I asked fans to send their questions about the series. Below are the questions answered.
Q: How many books will be in The Archangel Series?
A: There will be eight books in the whole series. However, I am strongly considering making short in-between stories to tell the untold stories that didn't make it to any of the books.
Q: Do you know how your series will end?
A: Yes, I know exactly how it will end. Thinking about it makes me sad and happy at the same time. I will miss these characters, but I'm excited to write my next series as well.
Q: What roles do female characters take on in your series?
A: The female characters in my books take on a bunch of different roles including the leader, the warrior, the damsel, the lady, the villain, and the victim. I think it's important to have both strong male and female characters because not only does it make it more realistic, but I also believe it helps the story move forward in more ways than one.
Q: How did you come up with the idea for the series?
A: I believe it was the second episode of Supernatural that gave me the idea. The episode featured a wendigo (native american werewolf) and the brothers were hunting it and that's how I got the idea for the entire series.
Q: How does your series differ from Twilight?
A: Twilight is a love story between a mortal girl, a vampire, and a skinwalker. Though The Archangel Series does have romantic sub-plots, the series centers upon the never-ending war against evil. The series is a bloody and gritty and the only thing I can compare it to would be the Underworld movies.
Q: Why is it called The Archangel Series?A: In the books, there is an organization that has dedicated their lives to fighting evil and they are called The Archangels. Most of the characters in the series fight with the Archangels.
Q: What will the title of book 3 be?
A: Book 3 will be called FREEDOM.
Q: What do each of your books represent?
A: IMMORTAL represented family. RESISTANCE represented discovery. FREEDOM will represent independence.
Q: How do you come up with your characters' names?
A: It depends on the character. A lot of times, I will do a search for a certain type of name - region, ethnicity, time era, etc.. For the main characters, Alexander and Marcus. I got Alexander from Alexander the Great and Marcus from Marcus Aurelius. Both strong names and figures that I've personally respected.
Q: Have you ever used people you know to create a character?
A: Yes. I've used appearance for some and personality for others. For instance, Sinead's appearance is based off someone I used to know. Alexander's personality is based off my own.
Q: If they were to make a movie based off your books, who would you want to play the characters?
A: I've given this a lot of thought actually. Perfect fit for Alexander and Marcus would be Liam and Chris Hemsworth.
Thanks for reading!

Facebook Live Feed Recap
Hello, so if you follow me on Facebook, you'll notice I've started to do some live videos discussing my book and other things.
If you check out my book on amazon and click the little picture, you are able to read the first four chapters of my book for free and part of the fifth chapter as well. So if you are undecided about buying it, you can read some of the book for free there.
If you'd like more regular updates, you can follow me on Twitter @Tim_Routledge and @Immortal_Book1. Follow me on Instagram at @slimmy_timmy and on Snapchat @slimtim2293 and of course on Facebook @Tim Routledge.
As the editing phase of Book 2 comes to a close, I'll be posting more pre-release things like concept art and other things.
I've started Book 3 already as well and I also have figured out the plot for the rest of the series (which will be 6 books total).
NO SPOILERS HERE
But Book 1: Immortal and Book 2: Resistance. The rest of the series' titles will be "classified" for now, but worry not - they will be revealed as time goes on.
After the series is finished, I will release single short stories that are related to the series. I currently have six in mind as well. Those will be significantly shorter than the books, but each will tell a different story not mentioned in any of the books.
Another thing I shared in my video was the next series I will write after I finish The Archangel Series. It is called The Tales of Telaria.
Tales of Telaria is a world I created from scratch. Created the world, drew the map, created an alphabet, created species, and a bunch of other things. If you've ever read Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Narnia, or the Eragon series, you'll love this series I'm working on. Mythology and fantasy are two of my favorite things in the world and this series is so intense and has so much depth, and I just know you'all will love it.
I also mentioned a sci-fi series that I am working on. The title of that one is currently still underdevelopment. But it will be a gritty, dark sci-fi series. Thinking another six book series. Will be written much like Game of Thrones - with each chapter having a different character. I'm a pretty huge sci-fi fan - loving Star Wars, Star Trek, Mass Effect, etc.. So you'll be in for something pretty epic when you read that series.
As I also mentioned, I have tons of stories that I'm planning - even more than what I have mentioned.
Please check out Immortal on Amazon. Pick it up on Kindle for $2.99 and on paperback for $14.99. Check it out, read it, leave a review! I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks for reading!

Influenced By
Hello! So in this post I will be talking about some of my favorite authors and how they inspired me to write like I do.
First we have, C.S. Lewis. Known for the Chronicles of Narnia. Great books if you never read them! I read these way back when I was in elementary school and this is how I got turned on to Mythology and fantasy fiction in general. His writing style is clear and basically a no-brainier to understand, which is why The Chronicles of Narnia are basically children's books, however, I will still bring them out every once in a while and read them again.
J.R.R. Tolkien! Now this guy is a genius. Best known for Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. The Hobbit is more suitable for younger ages because of its lighter tone, still a great book though! The Lord of the Rings is a very complex book series. But its complex in a fantastic way. Tolkien created his own language! Just think about that. He invented a language. His books are fantastic and he is a great inspiration to me.
J.K. Rowling. Best known for Harry Potter. You can probably notice a trend forming by now, I bet. Fantasy is what I do. J.K. Rowling, I absolutely love the way she writes. The world she created is purely amazing. (The books are better than the movies!) I really love her characters. Not just who they are, but how she wrote them. The many different personalities. For example, Voldemort is the series villain, but I liked him a lot. He was cool villain with a goal that was similar to Magneto in X-Men. So it was cool. I liked him. The villain I couldn't stand was Professor Umbridge. In the films she's annoying enough to where you get the idea, but in the books - you really want to kill her! That's some amazing writing right there! When you, the reader, want to kill a character in the book.
George R.R. Martin. Best known for Game of Thrones. This guy is definitely up there with Tolkien! The world he created is amazing and not to mention he created languages too! He took mixtures of different languages and created a new one. That's a lot of work right there, but so amazing! His fantasy world gave me tons of inspiration. The dark tone in his books is really cool and something that's not really expressed in a lot of books. But I really like it, it makes it realistic. And speaking of really hating a character! Geoffrey and Ramsey! Am I right??
I've also noticed while writing this article that everyone I've named so far has initials in along with their names. Wonder if I should do that? Tim L. Routledge. Or T.L. Routledge. I don't know! Leave your suggestions in the comments!
Continuing on! Joseph Delaney. Best known for The Last Apprentice series (Seventh Son). I've only just started to read his books, but so far they're fantastic. Magic is hard to include into fantasy at times. But I think he did a really great job with it. So far I'm loving the books!
Christopher Paolini. Best known for the Inheritance Cycle series. This guy wrote his books when he was younger than me and was very successful. How can he not give me inspiration?? Plus gotta say that I absolutely adore any awesome books about dragons, GOT included! His books are a mixture of everything awesome and I love his books.
Well there you have it! Those are my inspiration authors. Hope you enjoyed!

Who Am I?
Hello, so I've told you all about Immortal and a little about the Archangel Series. But you may be wondering, who is Tim Routledge? Or you might not be at all! And that's fine, but I'm going to tell you anyway!
As you know my name is Tim Routledge. I am twenty-three years of age. I have been writing since I was a wee youngling. Started small with short stories. I remember I wrote one, can't remember how old I was, but it was called Whiskers. It was about a dog during The Civil War. Can't remember the plot, but I remember writing it.
Other than writing novels, I am also a screenwriter. I've written a few films and a TV series. Some of which will be filming this year and I am very excited about that. I work with Patriotic Centurions, who are an amazing group of people and probably the hardest workers I've ever known.
Let's see, what else... I am a born again Christian and was saved at a young age. I attended a small private Baptist school from preschool through high school graduation. Went to college for about a year and decided it wasn't for me. Since then I've been working various jobs and working on getting my books and screenplays out there.
Some random facts about me: I used to play bass guitar in a Christian Rock band called Escape From Darkness. We had two small concerts and then we broke up. I'm a pretty big movie nerd, I can practically quote all the Star Wars movies from start to finish...and Lord of the Rings....and possibly Harry Potter... Favorite color is red - don't know why, just like it. I love country music. I love classic novels like The Count of Monte Cristo and Phantom of the Opera. I know a lot of random things... I'm related to General George Pickett - Google, if you don't know him. I'm a huge Chicago Bears fan. From Chicago so don't judge.
I get inspiration from a little bit of everything. Songs, dreams, movies/tv, books, everyday life... Life makes the best stories.
That's all I've got for now! Leave questions and concerns below and I will reply to them as quickly as I can!

Where to Get Inspiration
Hello, so if you've read a previous article I posted, you know that I got the idea for this series from an episode of Supernatural.
This is true. It was episode 2 of season 1. It was called: Wendigo. Which is werewolf of sorts. The premise, the location, the "creep" factor; they all played a role in creating the series. If you've never watched Supernatural, you should! Awesome show!
Anyway, it started out as only a short stories or a series of short stories, but when I started to write it. I kept writing and writing and soon it was long. And about halfway though, I decided to make it a book series.
Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes. I've gotten ideas from dreams, songs, books, movies. But the best inspiration I can get is from everyday life. So much happens in the world around you! All you have to do is go out and look around. People watching is one of my favorite things to do. As well as using my imagination to recreate the world. Like what if we were all the size of a G.I. Joe action figure? Imagine how big a bush would be to us or a tree? How awesome would that be? A flower the size of your head! Animals bigger than you! Riding a dog to work! Endless possibilities!
Songs are tricky. It's usually just something I hear in the song itself. Can't remember the song nor the artist, but I heard an hourglass mentioned and I thought, hmm what if there was a big hour glass and someone somewhere only had that much time to find and rescue someone else? Or only that long until he, himself would die?
Dreams are pretty awesome. They're basically like movies your brain created. I had a dream recently where I was protecting two little kids from an alien invasion. The aliens were these big brown monsters and they really didn't like being shot at... So I had to climb up through a ventilation shaft while carrying the two little kids. It was very dramatic and very scary for me in the dream. BOOM! Story!
Inspiration can come from anything. You just have to look for it.
