    This week, I reached the midpoint of Churchill’s Dragons (RAF Dragon Corps, Book 2) and have started posting editor-ready chapters on Patreon for early access readers.

    The story’s coming together well, and it’s exciting to share it as it develops.

    I also talk about the upcoming release of Rising Storm (The Ravenglass Throne, Part Eight), which is out this Monday! If you’ve been following the series, be ready—things are about to escalate.

  • 423 - November 2, 2025 - Churchill's Dragons, RAF Dragon Corps, Punk's Not Dead, SAD
    Nov 1 2025

    This week, I passed the 24,000-word mark on my current work-in-progress, Churchill’s Dragons (RAF Dragon Corps, Book 2).

    The story’s really taking shape, and I’m enjoying building on the world established in Book 1.

    I also received the completed audiobook for Punk’s Not Dead and will be doing my final listen-through before it’s ready to go live.

    On a personal note, I’ve Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) creeping in, so I took a few days off. I booked a short AirBnB break with my wife and son to rest, reset, and recharge.

    Sometimes, rest is the work.

  • 422 - October 26, 2025 - Ravenglass Throne, RAF Dragon Corps
    Oct 24 2025

    This week, I’ve been getting back into fantasy, and it feels great to return to the worlds I love.

    I received Part 10 of The Ravenglass Throne back from my editor and spent time going through the edits.

    I also completed final edits on Part 11, getting it ready to send off.

    Alongside that, I’ve been getting back into RAF Dragon Corps Book 2—revisiting the outline, characters, and worldbuilding as I prepare to continue the series.

    It’s been a productive week and a satisfying return to epic and military fantasy!
