July 20th, 2026 Update
Good afternoon! Sadly, this week's progress was not what I'd hoped at all. Moonshadow is only at 35,500 words, meaning I didn't even reach par for the week, so over the last two weeks I've gotten very little done. That said, my vacation is up, so this week should be back to normal. I might try to push to make up for the last two weeks a bit, but I don't want to burn myself out either. I'm feeling relaxed, so the vacation was very much needed. Other than that, I have a piece o

Umm... uhh... Hi! So... update. There isn't one. Apparently, I really needed the vacation. I've done practically nothing this week but sit at home and play video games. There was all the release day stuff, but beyond that, not much at all. So Moonshadow is sitting exactly where it was a week ago. In other news, Lost Mask is being picked up for audio. I just handed over the last of the files they need today and I'm hoping to have Tess Irondale narrate again, but right now that

Release Day!!!
I have 2 releases and 1 Preorder!!! Lost Mask https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3JJVLC7 Kirantha Lost was born into a world where an ancient war ruptured the ley lines, shattered the world tree, and forever changed the world and civilization. Now the only way for people to use magic safely is by refining and absorbing magical cores from monsters. Kira was found as a baby in the snow and raised in an isolated village where she is the only nonhuman. Kira doesn’t know what she is, ju

Tomorrow is release day. Both Lost Mask and the Elite Born Audiobook are releasing. I'm so excited, especially since I just got the preorder link for Reborn Elite, meaning I can promote all three at the same time!!!! This makes my life so much easier, and I'm excited about tomorrow. Here's the preorder Link! https://www.audible.com/pd/Reborn-Elite-Audiobook/B0H7HPXT6Y In other news, Moonshadow is up to to 31k. I had a great week, only one slow day, which I almost made up for

I'm a bit late in making this. Thankfully, I didn't forget. I had trouble getting to sleep this morning, so I'm getting a late start. So, I'm going to make this short. I missed a day of writing and had a short day Saturday night due to having to do background work on sheets and the like. It's been a while since I had to do that, lol. Despite that, I wrote 2k on monday and hit 1.5k the rest of the days so I still managed to get out 7.5k words this week. Still not 9k and defini

Not much to say this week. It was honestly a pretty terrible week for writing. But fear not! I still managed to write nearly 7k words, so despite being terrible, it was still productive. I need a vacation. I just didn't have any motivation to do anything while at work. Thankfully, I have two weeks coming up. Moonshadow is up to 15k words, which puts me in this odd position of being 3k behind where I'd like to be and 3k ahead of par, but that's where I'm at. Otherwise there is

The week was fairly uneventful and productive. I did have one bad day, but even then I reached my standard par range, and most days I hit my stretch goals. I wanted to have a perfect week and hit my full stretch goal, and finish three chapters, but fell a little short of that. So yeah, Moonshadow (tentative name) is at 8.3K as of this time with 2 finished chapters. I'll likely finish the third one today. My goal for the week is to fully hit my stretch goal of 9k, and possibly

This week's update is fairly short. The Preorder for Lost Mask and Elite Born are both fully live. I got the MP3's for Elite Born and my biggest fear didn't come to pass, so I'm happy. I haven't listened to it, but I'm going to try to listen through before the release date. Beyond that, nothing much to report. I got an outline ready and I'm going go start writing RotBMW 2 today. Do I have a title yet? Nope! That's the first hurdle, and even then it's going to be tentative. So

Lost Mask Preorder Live & June 1rst 2026 Update
As the title says, I uploaded Lost Mask last night, and it's fully live on Amazon. You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3JJVLC7 Releases 07/07/2026 I'm so happy to be done with it and moving on. I felt like I could have written it faster. Between that and the sheer length, I've been working on this for six months now. I was hoping to get three books out this year. I'll be lucky if I can get two at this point. I'm still proud of it and eager to see its reception

I'm slipping. I realized last week, just after I posted the update, that I forgot to do my post the previous week, and I'm a day late. Honestly, not much to tell. I'm deep into the editing process. I've finished the second pass and am working through the final read-through. I plan to finish this week and upload on Monday. I've sent out a feeler already to Podium for Lost Mask's Audiobook and am waiting to hear back. Elite Born's audiobook will be submitted this week with the

Gonna get this out of the way early. Not too much to report this week. I had a bit of a disaster week and had a couple of days where I barely got anything done. Despite that, I finished the first pass of Lost Mask. The next pass might take longer. ProWritingAid has a lot more tools and reports I can play with, so I'll see what I can get out of those. I want to be done by the end of the month and hope to finish the next pass, but this pass is also the most tedious. So we'll se

It's always weird when my updates line up with something else, and that's all I'll say about May the 4th, lol. I had a good week, not completely where I want to be, but a good week. The pre-order for Moonrise Audiobook is live and you can find it here. Beyond that, I got a good deal of writing done. Lost mask is up to 149,500 words. I'm almost done with chapter 44, and chapter 45 will be the last chapter. I'm not sure how long that chapter will be, but either way, the book wi

An up and down week. I won't go into all the details, but things conspired to keep me only at par, and that was a bit of a stretch. Otherwise, I have no new updates on anything. Moonrise Audiobook is still not live on audible. I'm tempted to poke Podium to poke Audible to see what the hold up is. The other three audio books are also in limbo. I likely won't know how far they are until Podium is close to releasing the first. I'm guessing they'll all be released pretty close to

Oh boy... Some of you who are on me Patreon are likely aware, but last week and the beginning of this week have been... yikes. The last twenty-four hours have given me whiplash. The start of last week went terribly, a bout of insomnia followed by sleeping poorly, and I just was not able to write Monday and Tuesday. That said, I'm only 500 words behind for the week. I was going to try to make that up last night, but then Reddit drama happened. I won't go into detail, but let's

Good evening, a bit late with this today, but I had a bit of insomnia and now I have no energy. So its going to be a rough start to the week. That said, I had a very good week. Didn't 100% reach my stretch goal, but I'm definitely ahead for the week. Lost Mask is up to 130k words and I feel like the end is finally on the horizon. After I finish the scene I'm on, I have four more scenes before I move into the closing section of the book which should be three to five chapters.

Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing alright and got through April Fools day without incident. I don't have much news this week. Writing went up and down, but I managed to stay on par. I'm reaching the halfway point on the scenes I want to cover before moving to close out the book. Lost Mask is up to 122k and still on track for 150k words. In other news, Moonrise has a tentative release date of May 19th. As soon as I have the pre-order link, I'll post it everywhere. Also,

Another week without much news. I had a rough week writing. It started out good and then just sort of dropped off from there. I kept waking up early and my neighbors sounded like they were trying to come through the ceiling. This left me tired at work and it was just hard to write. I was also trying to figure out the details for the scenes I want to write before I get to the conclusion. As of writing this, I've had a par week, but that includes the five hundred words I've alr

Not much to report this week. I'm still in limbo on the audiobooks and I had a par week. That being said, Lost Mask has a rough plan for how I'm going to end the book. I'm looking at about eight to ten scenes in the current section, and then three to four chapters to close out the book. The scenes in the current section may not take up a full chapter each, but we'll see. This means we're still looking at about 30-40k words, putting me right around the predicted 150k mark, but

Not much to report this week. The narrator for The Ashes series has been selected. I doubt they'll be doing a live performance, so to be safe and not violate my contracts at all, I'll wait to announce who it is until the first book has a release date or I notice the narrator has announced it themselves somewhere. Otherwise, I've had a fairly standard week. I'm safe and staying inside until this snowstorm passes. I hope everyone has a good week. Project Status Lost Mask - 104,
