2022 Production Schedule

In the interests of getting this out there for my own motivation and accountability, here’s The Plan for this year. The next novel in the Temple of Vengeance series, is Raven Queen, Avenge. I expect her to be about 100k words when she ships, just like the first volume.

Caveat: This schedule is tentative and subject to change. We’re relocating back to Texas from Seattle this year (long story) and landing in Dallas this time. What can I say, I come from a long line of hillbillies, wanderers, nomads, and pirates.
