I'm a fool! (Update) (Patreon)

I can’t believe I forgot to get you guys your end-of-May / beginning-of-June Patreon content! (Chapter 11 of Gunpowder for the $1 tier and Sulu picture for everyone). I’ll get on this and have both posts up within the next couple hours.

In the meantime, I’ll just take this as an opportunity to tell you why things are falling out of my brain—that is some of the cool stuff I’ve been working on.

I largely missed the turn from May to June because I was helping Virginia McClain proofread the ebook and print files for our anthology, The Alchemy of Sorrow. This team effort between multiple authors was way more fun than formatting a book solo, but it still took a lot of time and brain energy. If you backed the anthology on Kickstarter, you should already have your ebooks. Print books will be coming to Kickstarter backers later, and The Alchemy of Sorrow will release to the public on November 1st!

While all the AoS stuff was happening, I was also on a writing push to the end of a 42,000-word YA project. So, that is now finished! This 42k-word story will either end up as Book 1 of a series or as Part 1 (of 3) of a longer book. Either way, I’ll be releasing it on some platform before the end of 2022. Since this Mystery Project is aimed at a pretty different demographic from the dark adult fantasy of The Sword of Kaigen and the Altima universe, I’ll be releasing it under a pseudonym at first and then letting those of you who are interested know where to find it ;)

In between the writing spurts, I’ve also been editing Blood Over Bright Haven. If you missed my previous updates on the subject, the professional editor I want isn’t available until December, meaning that I have to push Bright Haven's release date into 2023. So, depending on how the Mystery Project shakes out, it’s likely that I’ll be releasing a dark adult fantasy right next to a light YA adventure. Something for everyone!
