Writing Updates

For those of you who don't know, I'm juggling 4 WIPs at the moment, but I'm on track to hopefully release one of them this year and two next year.

FAMILIAR, my vampire mystery standalone book with a MM romantic subplot, is coming alone much better than I hoped. I pretty confident I'll have it cleaned up, beta-read, and ready for ARCs before the end of the year. So if you're interested in reading about a vampire hunter's son who accidentally ends up becoming a vampire's familiar and love a chaotic mess of a narrator, you'll want to keep your eyes out for this one! Preview chapters for FAMILIAR are available for $5 patrons on my posting platforms. You can find the previews, blurb, and content warnings listed at the bottom of FAMILIAR's WIP page.

A TRIAL OF WRATH & RUIN, the second installment in The Wild Hunt series, is on track to have the draft completed by the end of this year, which means it's looking like it'll be ready for publishing sometime early next year. If you're wanting to read a bit early, you can find it on my Patreon, Ko-fi, and Ghost, posted every other week for $5 patrons! A TRIAL OF WRATH & RUIN Details →

SPACE ROBIN HOOD WIP—the temporary title should give a chunk of this one away—is cruising along as my other standalone I hope to publish in 2026. This is also on track, and I'm having a blast with it. SPACE ROBIN HOOD Details

Finally, SPIRITS is on track, but it's not high on my priority list for getting published right away. The Custodians series is very near and dear to my heart, but it will likely continue to take a backseat to the rest of my works since it's open-ended for how many books it might end up being (unless I commit to 9, one for each faction, which is a LOT). For those of you who enjoyed TRICK and want to join me on this journey, consider becoming a $3 patron for chapters every other week. SPIRITS Details

BONUS: It's been over the allotted contract time for this one, but "Whisper", my urban fantasy horror piece that was originally published in the CHAOS & CURSES anthology, is now available for free on Itch.io! Get "Whisper"
