A Whole Lot Going On
New Audiobook Coming Soon
Y’all, I’m happy to announce that next Wednesday, I’ll finally be starting physical therapy for my plantar fasciitis and achilles tendonitis. As of right now, my podiatrist has me transitioning from the boot to tennis shoes. I’m doing well with that so far but finding that I can only manage half a day without the boot. I’m hoping next week I can move to being without it for a couple days at a time.
The Black Hour
The Black Hour: The Hourglass Collection Book 3 is currently available for pre-order. The poetry book will be released on October 13, 2025. In case you missed the poetry excerpts from the forthcoming book, you can read them below.
Crime Thriller Series
I announced in the last update that I’m working on a new crime series. This one will be a novel with a woman detective. I’m currently finishing up another draft and will be sending it off to my beta reader next week. I’m keep everyone updated on the progress. The first draft of the second book has been completed. I don’t know how many books will be in the series.
Xander Walsh Series
The first book in the Xander Walsh crime thriller series, Penance, is currently available in paperback and ebook formats at all major retailers.
I’m still editing the second book in the series and hoping to complete this final round of edits this month. The book will be released on December 15, 2025.
Writing the third book has been put on hold until October so I can get caught up on edits. I’ll be participating in a 90 day novel challenge at that time and plan on writing books 3 through 5.
New Audiobook Coming Soon
The audiobook for Conjure Volume 2: Dark Poetry is currently being worked on. I’ll keep everyone posted on when the audiobook is available.
That’s all for this week. Everyone have a wonderful weekend.
