28K on the new #Arrowflight novel, finished with chapter 10. Ratcheting up the peril. (And anyone who's read my Airship Daedalus series knows I take my peril-ratcheting seriously.)

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.

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. ❤
