Wraithblade 4 Update

I know, I know. It’s been way too long since I’ve given you a real update about Book 4. Two years since Wraithblade 3 dropped, and I’ve been pretty much radio silent.

You deserve better than that, and today I’m finally ready to tell you why.

The Real Story Behind the Silence

I’ve told you a lot about this already, but I’m going to recap it in a bit more detail.

Here’s the thing—and this is going to get personal, so buckle up. I always planned to dedicate Wraithblade 4 to my ex-husband. He wasn’t just someone cheering from the sidelines; he was deeply woven into the creative DNA of this entire series.

For years, we built this world together. Late-night brainstorming sessions, heated debates about character motivations, him challenging plot holes I thought I’d cleverly hidden. His fingerprints are all over the Wraithblade universe, and Book 4 was going to celebrate that. To celebrate us.

Then life happened. Divorce happened.

When Your Heart Breaks, So Does Your Art

Every time I open that manuscript, I’m not just seeing words on a page. I’m seeing our conversations embedded in dialogue. I’m remembering the excitement in his voice when we cracked a particularly tricky plot point. I’m feeling the weight of a dedication that now feels impossible to write.

It’s like trying to finish a love letter to someone who’s no longer part of your story.

The creative paralysis has been REAL, darling. I’d sit down to write, get three paragraphs in, and suddenly I’m drowning in memories instead of crafting epic fantasy battles. Not exactly the headspace you want when you’re trying to deliver the emotional knockout punch this series deserves.

Moving Forward

I’m not giving up on this book. I’m not giving up on YOU. But I’m also learning that sometimes the most honest thing you can do is admit when you’re struggling.

I’m working through what it means to honor the collaborative spirit that built this world while also reclaiming my own creative voice. Maybe that means reworking some elements. Maybe it means completely reimagining the dedication. Maybe it means accepting that this book will be different than I originally planned—and that’s okay.

What This Means for You

I wish I could give you a set release date, but I’d rather be honest than make promises I can’t keep.

What I can promise is that I’m committed to finishing this story. You’ve invested so much in Connor’s journey, and I won’t let my personal chaos derail that.

I’m taking it one chapter at a time, one scene at a time, and I’m rebuilding my relationship with this world I love so much.

Thank You for Your Patience

Just so you know, your messages asking about Book 4 haven’t made me feel pressured—they’ve been reminders that this story matters. That these characters have found homes in your heart, too. That’s kept me going on the days when opening the manuscript felt impossible.

I’ll keep you posted as I navigate this creative maze. In the meantime, know that I’m fighting for this book just as hard as Connor fights for his world.

Much love,

Boyce

P.S. If you’ve ever had to untangle your creative work from personal relationships, you know this struggle is real. Thanks for understanding that sometimes the most important battles happen off the page.
