So, editing still ongoing but had to pause for a medical emergency. Release of Archon is looking to be early 2026.
So, I may have spent about 100 hours on something I hadn't expected to start until next year.

World Eater Sicaran! I think this one came out pretty good.

While editing is underway on the 2nd novel, I do like to keep myself busy between rounds with the editor.

Rather proud of how this fella turned out - Loyalist World Eater Centurion, for those interested. Took a week or so.

Not the best picture, I can try and take better ones if people want 'em.

Of course, I'm always up to something in the meantime. In this instance, hand painting tiny plastic space men with my twitchy fingers.

So, today is the day (despite a migraine) that i rounded off the first draft of the second book!

It'll be a little while before its ready, as now the process of editing and refinement begins. But if anyone cares to know what things like word count are looking like right now here's a peek.

The sun is out and the weather warming up and thus, behold! The very happy face of Bowie after getting to go absolutely bananas in the garden.

Best assistant ever.

Heyo! I'm a newly self-published high fantasy author, writing stories of politics and adventure in a world populated by lizardfolk! The first dropped just two days ago, and I'm deep into writing the second already.
