2022 First Quarter Check In

Wow, it’s been a long time since I’ve uploaded something here, but it’s not because I’ve been sitting on my hands. The pandemic has somehow been one of the busiest times in my life and I have a lot to show for the hard work. I got married at the end of last year which has been an amazing adventure in its own right. I got a job in my favorite industry with a company I adore. I’ve been freelance editing over at Reedsy.com, which has empowered me to help others bring their writing dreams to life. I also started a gaming channel on Twitch and Youtube with my friends and we have been putting out consistent content for almost two years now! It’s been a lot of good stuff. However, I still have a lot of work to do. 

For starters, I owe all of you the sequel to the Magician’s Sin. I have been hard at work on the Titan’s Gambit for the last couple of years and it is slowly coming into shape. I’ve got it all outlined, I just have to buckle down and actually finish writing it. For total transparency, I am at 33,000 words out of a forecasted 70,000. It’s longer than the first book and I am juggling a lot of material in this story. Caroline and Chevron are working together to stop a Mad Titan from destroying Titan City. There’s a mayoral race going on between a bad candidate and a less bad candidate. Caroline is taking her first steps into the wider world of wizardom, and there’s a wise-cracking Irish criminal who seems hell bent on becoming a main character. It’s a lot, but I do think so far it is a stronger offering than the first book and I really can’t wait for you to get your hands on it. I’m going to try to add a word count banner here on the site that I’ll update as I’m writing. Partially for accountability and partially because it’s a fun little reward for my lizard brain. I also want to get to a point where I can release blog posts more often—on top of all the other blogging I’ve been doing for the Untold Stories Project and for Green Ronin.

On top of the Titan’s Gambit, I have a couple extra books in progress. I’m working on the Starhaven book for Mutants & Masterminds and on producing more Astonishing Adventures. I can’t get into specifics other than to say we have a lot of cool stuff coming on that front. I also have a book I’m working on that keeps taking up space in my brain, but I want to get Titan’s Gambit out to you all before that one gets going. 

Thank you as always for your support. I’m very excited to get books in your hands as soon as possible. Titan’s Gambit will be out this year. I’ll be sharing chapters here on the blog in the meantime. Thanks for reading and talk to you soon!
