February 2nd 2020 Update

Queen of Diamonds is up to a bit over 14,000 words, so that’s coming along reasonably well! I’m glad that it’s coming along a little better now, and hopefully it won’t take too long to finish up. I’m really looking forward to seeing what people think ofQueen’s Move as well, once it comes out on the 17th!

I’m still working out what I want to write after it, but it’s something that I don’t need to figure out immediately, so I’ll go ahead and put it off until I get there. I haveHives & Heroism...

January 26th 2020 Update

I got a start on the next book of Lilith’s Shadow this past week, as well as dabbling in a couple of other projects, but I got it up to about 6,000 words, which isn’t bad for how scattered my focus has been. I also wrote several other things, though, so I think my overall total was closer to 10,000 words for the week, which is fairly close to my usual productivity. I think I’m going to stick withQueen of Diamonds for the title, after a good deal of personal debate.

Another thing I’m...

January 19th 2020 Update

Queen’s Move is edited and off to the editor, so everything is settled there! I’m relieved to have that done, as I’m not sure why I wasn’t having an easy time editing it. It’s entirely possible I need to take it easy for a little while longer, so I’m going to ease up on writing for the next couple of weeks. If I can write my usual amounts without difficulty, great! If not, I’d rather not force it.

Oh, speaking ofQueen’s Move, the pre-order is up! You can Find It Here, and I got the cover art...

At long last the audio of Hell’s Ascendant is live! I’m going to link a few of the stores below, and I want to thank everyone for their patience! Hopefully we’ll also have Crisis of Faith soon, but we shall see! I should add, I don’t have an iTunes link yet, or I’d put that below as well!

January 12th 2020 Update

I almost wrote 2019 for the update, whoops. Still, I caught it in time, so let’s get down to business, shall we?

TomorrowWebs & Wards releases! I’m really looking forward to seeing what you think about the continuation of Joy’s story, as I certainly enjoyed it! Joy is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters.

I didn’t finish editingQueen’s Move this past week. With a couple of problems cropping up, I only got halfway through the book over the week. I’m hoping to finish it this week, but...

January 5th 2020 Update

I’ve gotten the final pieces of feedback onQueen’s Move from my alpha readers, so this week I’m going to be diving into editing the book. I expect that to take me pretty much the entire week, and once I’m satisfied I intend to send it to my editor… who unfortunately won’t be able to get to it until the beginning of February, but that’s my luck. Just as well, as I’m still waiting on cover art for the book.

Webs & Wards came back from the editor, and it’s been uploaded and prepared for its...

December 29th 2019 Update

Queen’s Move is edited and off to Alpha readers. I’m taking a brief break to rest and relax this week but hopefully I’ll be working on the next book after that. I really enjoyed writing Queen’s Move and hope that all of you enjoy reading it when it comes out.

I’m currently waiting on audible to approve Hell’s Ascendant. I don’t know how long this will take but it shouldn’t take more than a week or two. Crisis of Faith has been a bit delayed, but I think it won’t take too much longer likely...

December 22 2019 Update

I finished the rough draft ofQueen’s Move! It wrapped up slightly quicker than I expected, with about 99,000 words, which puts it midway betweenBorn a Queen andDown with the Queen in length. This could get longer during the editing process, but I’m not sure where it’ll end up. I’m still waiting on the cover art for it, but once I have a cover I intend to get the pre-order up quickly.

Speaking of the cover, I got new cover art forSpells of Old from Hoang Lap as well! I commissioned this some...

December 15th 2019 Update

Webs & Wards is edited and off to the editor, so at this point it’s time to turn my full attention toQueen’s Move! There isn’t much left toQueen’s Move, I don’t think, but I’m not entirely sure how long it’ll take to finish in total. Hopefully this week or next, but I ran into a bit of writer’s block when I worked on it a little Friday, so… I’m not entirely sure there.

Regardless, I’m anticipating a final review of the audiobooks ofCrisis of Faith andHell’s Ascendant any day now, so those...
