HAVE ALSO LISTED MY OTHER MAJOR SERIES IN THEIR CORRECT ORDER, JUST TO BE HELPFUL   ; )

 With several series available in print and audio in the Ryanverse, I think it will be helpful to set-in-stone the proper reading oder of books in the Ryanverse. Please note: Once you’ve read them all and in order, reread them. It’s the law in the Ryanverse. You don’t want Jon or EJ coming to subdue rule breakers, now do you? Also, Sapale said that if you don’t tell your friends to buy several copies, she’d forcing calrf down your throat. Be afraid!

Links are for Amazon/Audible USA. All are available on each foreign sites for those vendors.

  1. Can’t wait for the next installment of the Ryanverse. Unwonderland you say? Untill that one drops I’ll entertain myself with your Ryanless books.

  2. I do wish they could be made clearer online listings on Audible.
    Perhaps things like “Ancient Gods (the 3rd John Ryan Collection) Part 1”. Just anything to make it clear what the next book in the series is. There must be some meta data field on Audible/etc that would help guide readers. My wife appears to have more books in the series than me yet doesn’t know parts I’m talking about as she’s gone in an odd order. I ponder how she hasn’t noticed.

    Upon finding this blog, it’s also clear “Ryanverse” isn’t a useful search term when I need to re-find it, what with the name already used for a series by Tom Clancy.

    That said, I’m thoroughly enjoying the series, I’m onto Ancient Gods right now and I’m loving the utterly different theme, very Gaiman like in style and yet done in such a way that it perfectly slots into the universe without breaking anything. Very cleverly done 🙂

    I do wish I could get the motivation back to write again, you seem to have an abundance of it!

    1. Hi, Andy. Thanks for reaching out. I definitely agree about Audible. Even though they are owned by Amazon, they are very bad at providing useful info. They are also fairly unreceptive to us producers’s input. Not sure why, but yeah, they have room to improve. You are correct that Tom Clancy is a little bit (he said smiling) more famous and hence pulls in more Ryanverse queries.

      Thanks for your praise. It does help. Ah, motivation! I procrastinate so much I think I’ll start up The Procrastiation Olympics just so I can medal … craig

  3. “The Boxsets for this series: There are none ( I was confusing more people and selling so few I didn’t go there)”

    While the names were a bit confusing due to inconsistancy, the fact that there will not be publisher packs for The Timeless Void and beyond is increadibly disapointing considering the price per book is the same as a pubplisher pack. It’s hard to justify spending 40 dollars for a 7 hour book when we were getting two books for that same price prior. Should note, i buy via Apple Books because I don’t like how Audible takes advantage of writers by taking the largest slice of the pie.

    Personally, i probably wont continue buying the series and will just re-read what I’ve already purchased as the cost has just doubled for me to continue reading. Very sad, because I do love your books. But unless they go on sale or the price drops, I can’t continue.

    Please, reconsider making publisher packs or decrease the cost of the individual books.

  4. test.. I just made a comment but it’s not showing up. So I wanna see if this one works before I take the time to write it again.

    1. Thor, thanks so much for your comments. You obviously understand the “audio world”. First off, I have no decision-making role in anything involving the audio. That’s all Podium. They pick the narrator and everything else. Now, I like Podium a lot, but they definitely have exclusive control. They also take, like Audible, a very healthy cut of the total sales. I don’t know exactly why Podium decided to switch from Packs to singles. I assume it was simply a corporate decision.

      In terms of Apple vs Audible for us authors, I honestly don’t know much about that. If I were to indie produce my books, I’d obviously have studied the issue.

      Finally, all my books are on KDP, and even if you don’t do KU, they’re still priced at around $5, a much cheaper way to go.

      Thanks again, and I do value your support … craig

  5. this think is broken

    1. Hi. I recently change the reference a little. The full post was unsightly on my webpage, so I made a link at the end of this post to the actual list. Hopefully that is still working. Please let me know … craig

      1. Looks like the link isn’t working.

      2. I think (?) I fixed it. Please let me know … cr

  6. The link at the bottom of the page is not working.

  7. Summer 2024! So ready for “How Ryan Saves Time.” I am filling the void with your Time Diving books, wish me luck.

    1. Hope you’re enjoying Time Diving. Not sure why How Ryan is taking so long at Podium, but it will happen … craig

  8. Hi, and thanks! I think it slower since Scott has gotten very popular. I must wait in line now …. craig

  9. Damn – you have been busy! Need to reread everything and then catch up! Until then. Keep writing! 😊

    The list is very helpful btw, found your site through looking for the correct order of readage..(not a word but should be).

    1. Thanks, Matthew! I will accept any praise …. craig
