Speaking of Carefully Worded Wishes, that’s completely paused, and probably will be for a while. (Other future works like Carefully Worded Wishes will take place even earlier.) It was a fun piece to write, and notably, it’s also the story that takes place earliest in the timeline of my currently published works. I still need to edit it before I send it off, but that won’t take long, since it’s only about the length of one chapter for one of my bigger books. In terms of other projects, I already mentioned that charity short story – the first draft of that is done. I’m more than capped – the more beta readers I have, the longer the process takes.) (I always get asked about this, but I’m not looking for more beta readers at this time. After that, I’ll need a bit for self-editing, then it’ll go off to my beta readers. With all that being said, I only have a few scenes left and the epilogue before I can call the first draft complete.

I’ve actually started trimming out some scenes, but it’s still going to be one of the longest books I’ve ever written, if not the longest. Most importantly, though, Soulbrand is just turning out to be really, really long and complicated. Another factor is that I had to pause work on Soulbrand to write the charity anthology short story (which has a hard deadline, since I’m working with others). A lot of that was (awesome) business stuff happening that I can’t talk about yet, but I hope to have more announcements on that front soon. I was hoping to be able say “ Soulbrand‘s first draft is done” when I wrote my April update, but it isn’t. In terms of new books, I’ve got a few updates. Preorders are already available, so click on the links above if you’d like to preorder a copy! We’re less than one month out from the audio launch of Arcane Ascension Book 3: The Torch that Ignites the Stars! I’m extremely excited for people to hear Nick’s fantastic rendition of the story.
