DRAGONSKULL: SWORD OF THE SQUIRE rough draft done and cover!

I am pleased to report that the rough draft of DRAGONSKULL: SWORD OF THE SQUIRE is done! 86,100 words in 22 days, with two 10k word days in the mix.

Additionally, I wrote 8,800 words to finish the book, and then 1,200 words of short story, making yesterday my 8th 10,000 word day of 2021!

Next up is THE FIRST RIDING, a short story that will take place shortly before the events of SWORD OF THE SQUIRE. Subscribers to my new-release newsletter will get a free ebook copy of THE FIRST RIDING when SWORD OF THE SQUIRE comes out.

I don’t usually share the cover image until I start editing, but I said if I finished the rough draft by the end of the week I would share it, so here is the image below!

If all goes well, DRAGONSKULL: SWORD OF THE SQUIRE will be out sometime in October.
