Let's GOOOOOO!

4/9/2025

 
It's been a hot minute since my last update, but that's because I've been working hard to get these next two projects to their respective finish lines. But it's a new month, and about time to let you know where the fruits of my labor have brought us.

First out the gate, as of this week we've officially started production on the audiobook for Key of Arcandus! After hearing two of the chapters that have come from Paige already, I'm beyond excited! Publishing a book is already a wonderful experience, but to hear one's characters come to life through another's voice(s) is on a completely different playing field.
Next up is on the publication front. After a year of collecting dust due to real life priorities, An Oath to the Winter Winds has officially been handed off to the cover / interior designers and will be released in the Winter of 2025!

​Preorders will be available through my website on the day I release the cover art. However, keep a sharp eye on upcoming announcements because I have a potential book event coming up in September which might get you pre-sale access if you attend.

While those two projects are reaching their respective finish lines, what's next in store for the Carving Legacies series? 
Book Three
Yes, it's finally time to tackle the next installment in Siroun and Lyonesse's respective journeys, and bring them together. Technically the initial draft for book three was completed back in 2023. But after going back and taking a look at everything I had written, the manuscript just didn't meet the moment for me, and there were a lot of other ideas and connections I wanted to bridge together after working through An Oath to the Winter Winds.

​
There are two new characters coming into the group, and I wanted to make their involvement go even deeper into the overall vision I have not just for the Carving Legacies series, but the subsequent series I plan to write after this one. So, I laid a little bit of the groundwork in AOttWW, and there will be another supplemental standalone in the works for the pair that leads them into the events of book three. Don't worry, these additional projects will not supersede book three's schedule. It's been too long since the release of Obligation's Unity, and I know folks are hungry for what happens next. I've mapped out my production schedule from 2025 through 2027, and assuming the world around me doesn't upend my life (IYKYK), then there should be a lot of new content coming down the pike in the next couple of years.

Yes, yes... I know "years" is a long wait. But epic fantasy stories have a lot of moving parts and pieces, and each time I come back to this world I want to make sure each chapter you read is either connected, completed, or laying the groundwork for something else in the future.

Be well, be safe, be resistant.
