It’s glaring just how much a social media hiatus has killed my sales the last couple of months.
Ah well. Mental health is much better.

You heard Justin, he is writing one of those four book trilogies.
Seeing a few people surprised and/or irritated that The Damned King isn’t the final book in a trilogy, so please help me spread the word: THE EIDYN SAGA IS A FOUR-BOOK SERIES. It has been ever since I signed with Orbit in 2021. I’m writing book 4 right now. It’s coming!
