Some Changes
Getting ready for 2026
For those of you who don’t know, I have another business that I own and operate by my lonesome and the good news is...it’s picking up business. Because of that, I’m going through some restructuring with the creative side of my life. I’m still going to be writing, but I won’t be releasing five books a year like I have been. I’m thinking more like a couple a year, but that might end up being three from time to time.
My books have also been moved over to Kindle Unlimited (KU). I was selling wide before (on various sites) but feel that this will be a better option for me right now. That might change in the future, but as of right now, you can only buy paperback and some audiobooks directly from me.
I’m also going to be deleting my Patreon account. I tend to post more over here anyway. My Patreon account will remain open until the new year.
Vengeance: A Xander Walsh Novella
Vengeance, the second book in the Xander Walsh crime thriller series, is now available.
Blurb
In the city of Birchwood, where every street whispers secrets, Detectives Xander Walsh and Damon Schaeffer are called to investigate a series of ritualistic murders. As Xander delves deeper into the town’s history, he uncovers a legacy steeped in betrayal and bloodshed.
With each clue he unearths, Xander finds himself drawn into a twisted web of ancient beliefs that echo his own haunted past. As the line between the past and present blurs, he must navigate the treacherous waters of loyalty and heritage.
Caught in a labyrinth of secrets, Xander must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect Birchwood. With time running out and the stakes growing higher, can he uncover the truth before becoming the next victim of a past that refuses to stay buried?
Writing Schedule
As stated above, I’m working on some restructuring. The main bulk of changes are going to be to Wayuką́ but with the way things are looking for next year, there are going to be some writing changes as well.
The main change is going to be my writing schedule. I’ll only be writing one day a week next year (consciously, I tend to randomly write poetry). The day I’ve chosen is Wednesday and I’ll be writing the whole day.
The third book in The Hourglass Collection will still be released in February of 2026. One more readthrough of the book is needed and I plan on doing that at the beginning of the year. After that, we’ll see what happens. I do plan on releasing the final book in the Conjure series later next year and am pushing to get the third book in the Xander Walsh series released as well.
Tribal Business
One of the reasons I needed to make some changes is because I’m currently on the language committee for my tribe. The holidays have slowed things down a bit, but I’m expecting things to pick back up after everything settles down. Next year, I’ll have a dedicated day for working on language study sheets.
On Repeat
I love this song. I came across it while watching an episode of The Walking Dead (season 3, episode 13). There are two videos for this one. The first is the original song and the second is a live performance I found a couple of days ago. I hope you enjoy Warm Shadow by Fink.
Alright y’all. That’s it for this year. I’ll see everyone in 2026. Stay safe and warm and have a wonderful holiday.
