So far, sales of Yara have been slow. Very slow. So in an effort to get this book in the hands of more people, Yara will be available for free in ebook form through Monday!

Come join us in the Mistshire for a tale of love, loss, and duty!

It's been a while since I've talked about my secondary erotica pen name...but for those interested in my erotic stories, one of them just came out on Audible. I have another story being recorded for audiobook release which will be coming soon!

I kind of alluded to this the other day, but if you are a Kindle Unlimited subscriber and you're hoping to read Omen Bears in KU, you may want to do that soon. Omen Bears is slated to leave Kindle Unlimited on Sunday 4/13 so that it can receive a proper wide release.

Got my proofs from two different companies recently, KDP (who I use now) & Draft2Digital. Each has some pros & cons. Colors definitely come out different as does the layout. Not sure how to do maps in D2D yet.

Not convinced I’ll change that yet, weighing the options.

Once that's done, I'm planning to release the first book in the Myths of Mistshire series, Yara! Still working through specifics (date, wide vs. KU, print books, etc), but the plan is to have it released by the end of April.

Next, Omen Bears is currently slated to leave KDP Select/Kindle Unlimited on April 13th. Once I have confirmed that is it off of KU, that will be my next title to be released wide!

April looks like it's going to be a busy month for me, so here's a bit of a window into my book plans this month!

First up, I am excited to announce that I will be taking part in the Narratess Indie Book Sale this weekend! During the sale, both AIDAN & Cora will be free!

Been there so many times. The amount of unwritten stories I started, undeveloped games I've started, unfinished songs I've started...it's amazing how they just kind of pile up after a bit.

Did a first pass at making a map for my next book. Definitely needs a bit more work (and the rest of the land will be revealed/updated in a future series), but it's a start for now at least.

Thoughts?

Ryxal & Zylaverse has now been given a wide ebook release! While figuring out how to do print media is still in the air, you can now find Ryxal & Zylaverse at several of your favorite booksellers.

More to come soon!

Got my copy of @catvoleur.bsky.social’s Covered in Darkness book “A Better Place” the other day. It’s an absolutely fantastic head trip of a book that absolutely makes you think!

Given the news lately, this seems as good a time as any to share the dedication of Cora Christensen.

Today, I'm releasing a new horror short story: Omen Bears.

When a new mother starts seeing terrifying images of her unborn child's life, she stops at nothing to avoid catastrophe. But how much can one person actually do to change a fate they don't truly understand?

With the end of the year coming up, I suppose it's time for the whole Year-in-Review thing. And looking back on this year, it was simultaneously more and less successful than I hoped it would be. I pretty much hit none of my writing resolutions from last year, sad to say.
