25K on the new #Arrowflight novel, jumping into chapter 9. 40+ years of worldbuilding on the TTRPG, a film, a comic, and finally the first novel set in that world.
Happy Cosmic Birthday, Space Mom. ❤

Always nice to get the thumbs up from a fellow genre author!
Renegades of Mars is now available in paperback from Amazon and IngramSpark (and available to retailers via Ingram as well!)
Wrote this sentence in the WIP today and it made me chuckle...

But it wouldn't be a proper religion without some strange and unsettling lore.
Thanks! It's my favorite part of the process, seeing words I wrote in print, and my artwork on the cover. As an artist friend of mine is fond of saying, "It's like a real thing!"
Author copies arrived today! They look great!
Paperback available on Amazon, and coming to retail (via IngramSpark) on Oct 17th!

Coming October 1st. www.todddowning.com
Rockets and rayguns and robots, oh my!
Also N@zi baddies, a gorilla scientist, and plenty of pew-pew!
Sitting at just over 15K words into the #Arrowflight WIP, and haven't even begun the main mission. I'm loving the process of getting to know my MC couple and their weird connection. A very different process from my usual pulp adventure material, where 15K would be a quarter through the story.
Renegades of Mars is back from my first editor. Just waiting on the second! The next phase of the AEGISverse is almost here!

Almost at 12K words on the new #fantasy WIP (based on the #Arrowflight #TTRPG). Feels nice to let the setting breathe a bit.
My brother Matthew would have turned 55 today, which is a surreal concept. His death at far too young an age was a tragic loss, and yet, he's always been with us - even with my younger siblings who didn't know him.

Love you, Matt. Always. ❤
