After the longest publishing break of my writing career. I released Tarnished Vow in May. The second book that follows, Shattered Vow, is planned to release on Aug 30th 2025. But I am aiming for early August. 

I'm focused on building out this world. My plan for the rest of the books is to release them in volumes. 

Ideally, I would like to release one book/novella/volume a month within the Crows Serial. Building out all the storylines. 

​

After Shattered Vow. I am releasing the first volume of the twins' books, that is Bastion, Luca, and Emilia's story. 

​​

Followed by the first book in the Crows of Harlan. Which is Vivienne and Jamison's story. 

​​

There is also a MC within the Crows world, that I want to get a book out for. But I know time wise, I'm probably not going to get that volume written, edited, by the end of the year. My schedule is already overloaded. 

​​

I've been a hermit for the past few years. Which was a change after sharing my writing, daily, weekly since 2010 online. Even after Inkitt signed my first book in 2016, I had always been active online. 

​

Though, it might have been better if I hadn't shared every thought that came to mind, during active psychosis. But that was what I did for a very long time. 

​

I've spent a lot of time thinking about my writing. And this next decade. 

I am focused on building a writing career that can last the test of time, even with the changes coming with AI. 

​

I regret a lot of the tropes I weaved into older work, but at the same time. I know that is part of the process, to learn from mistakes. 

​

In life updates. I have become very focused on my health. I haven't had a psychiatric admission in over five years. My schizoaffective disorder has never been so well managed. My mental health is in an amazing place and has been now for years. 

There was a time I never would have believed that was possible. 

​​

I am so grateful to have survived that decade of hard years. In the end, it did get better. 

​

Now, I'm just ready to get my new work out there, and expand my writing, into an empire. It might take some time to get my career where I want it. But, after what I have survived I know, in the end I'll do it.
