PROJECT DAWNBREAK
PROJECT DAWNBREAK
This project is the for the third and final book in the Realm of the Prophets Trilogy: a bittersweet ending that sees My’ala five years in the future, now with a young daughter of her own. It’s a return to the more philosophical narrative of the first book - seeking to answer the question ‘what are we?’ - and will of course have another mentor figure to help guide My’ala’s journey. But this particular mentor may be a bit bigger - and a bit scalier - than the others we’ve seen so far…
“Project Dawnbreak has been fully developed, and writing will commence on June 15th 2025 with a prospective release date of 1st August.”
PROJECT HOMELAND
PROJECT HOMELAND
This is the working title for Book 3 in The Blood and Steel Saga, taking place roughly two weeks after the events of The Horns of Grief. The book has undergone extensive planning - far more than any other book I’ve ever written - and current estimates put the page count between 900-1100 pages long. It looks to be the biggest and bloodiest of the series yet, and despite starting the book in January 2024, we will likely not see the finished project until the end of the following year.
“As of mid-April 2025, Parts 1-3 have been fully written, and the entire novel is 54% complete. Part 4 - the largest in the novel - has commenced writing, and will be finished in mid-June.”
PROJECT FACTORY
PROJECT FACTORY
This is something of a random pet-project that I devised as part of my job working in a factory, where an entire facility is run on a single A.I. operating system that… well you can probably guess what happens next. It is approximately ten chapters long (novella length) and will take the perspective of a young school dropout looking for some money to pay rent, and get away from his chronically-overbearing mother. As for a writing/release date, I have no idea - it will likely be something I write over the space of a few weeks as a palette cleanser to a much larger project. We’ll see!
“This novella is completely planned with chapter-specific notes, and will likely take between three to four weeks to complete (exact dates are currently undisclosed).”
