    This week I’ve continued working through edits on Churchill’s Dragons and Four of Swords, keeping the momentum going across both projects.

    On the reading front, I finished Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, which I thought was excellent—a brilliant mix of science, tension, and heart.

    I also talk about my dark domestic fantasy project, Until the Wyvern Spoke, and share that I’ll be starting to post Silent Watcher on Patreon from Monday.

    Lots of new content on the way!

    I’m still not feeling 100%, so it’s been another editing-focused week.

    I’ve now finished editing RAF Dragon Corps Book 1 and moved straight on to Book 2, keeping things ticking along despite the illness.

    Big news this week: Final Flight—the finale of The Ravenglass Throne—is now live on Kindle!

    A huge milestone bringing the series to its conclusion.

    On the reading front, I’ve just finished This Inevitable Ruin (Dungeon Crawler Carl, Book 7), which I thoroughly enjoyed—a brilliant, chaotic end to the arc.
