    Mar 28 2025

    This week, I finished the draft of Hunters—a gritty Space Western I’ve really enjoyed working on.

    I’m still undecided on what to do with it long-term, but for now, it may stay as a Patreon-only project.

    April is shaping up to be huge, with three book launches on the way:

    📖 Forged in Blood – April 4

    🐉 Wyvern’s Shadow (The Ravenglass Throne: Part Two) – April 12

    ⚔️ Blade of Sorrows – April 17

    I also wrote a couple of Guild of Assassins short stories, which I’ll be sharing on Patreon over the coming weeks.

    Plenty of exciting content on the way—thanks for following along!

    Mar 21 2025

    This week, I wrapped up the draft of Dragon Squadron (RAF Dragon Corps), and I’m thrilled with how it’s turned out.

    But with three book launches on the horizon—Wyvern’s Shadow (The Ravenglass Throne: Part Two), Forged in Blood, and Blade of Sorrows—my focus now shifts to prepping those releases.

    In this episode, I reflect on the many open projects I’ve got on the go and the importance of staying focused rather than jumping into something new (no matter how tempting!).

    It’s time to clear the decks before taking on the next big adventure.

    Mar 14 2025

    This week, I’ve been deep in Dragon Squadron (RAF Dragon Corps), and what started as a novella has now evolved into a full novel!

    I’m currently 16 chapters in out of 24, and the story is shaping up beautifully—I’m absolutely loving where it’s going.

    In publishing news, Shattered Kingdom (The Ravenglass Throne: Part One) is now released, and Forged in Blood is officially up for pre-order!

    It’s been a busy but exciting time, with lots of new stories heading your way.

    Looking forward to pushing ahead with Dragon Squadron and getting these books into readers’ hands!
