🚀 Book Launch & Series Finale | Author Diary – August 30, 2024📚🧟‍♂️

“The Wolf and the Wyvern” Launch:

This week marked a major milestone with the launch of “The Wolf and the Wyvern,” the second installment in the Ravenglass Legends series. It’s always exhilarating to see a project come to fruition, and I’ve been busy with the various aspects of the book release—from coordinating with distributors to engaging with readers. The feedback so far has been incredibly encouraging, and I’m thrilled to see how the book resonates with fans old and new.

Finishing “Punks Versus Zombies”:

In addition to launching the book, I’ve completed the redrafting of the final two episodes of “Punks Versus Zombies.” Bringing this series to a close has been a bittersweet journey. These last episodes wrap up the story arcs that have been building over time, and I hope they provide a satisfying conclusion to the saga that has captivated so many.

Reflections and Next Steps:

As I reflect on this week’s accomplishments, I’m also planning the next steps in my writing career. Finishing one project and launching another opens up new opportunities for creative exploration and development. I’m looking forward to diving into new stories and possibly revisiting familiar ones, depending on where inspiration leads.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on series endings, book launches, or any advice you might have on transitioning between major projects. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more weekly insights into my author’s journey and the evolution of my work!
