I’ve been silent for about a month and a half, and today I’m dropping SO MANY updates that it might feel like whiplash. Check this stuff out:

COVER REVEAL FOR “THE FROZEN STEPPE”!

I am obsessed with Andrea Corsini, guys. She has done such an amazing job with the covers for this trilogy. It’s like she tapped into my skull, yoinked out the images that have been floating around for 15+ years, and then just… made them a reality. If you’re looking for any kind of fantasy artwork, please check her out and consider hiring her.

ARC SIGN-UPS ARE LIVE FOR “THE FROZEN STEPPE”!

If you don’t want to wait until August to get your hands on a copy of THE FROZEN STEPPE, you can sign up to get a digital one for free! Head here to sign up. If you were an ARC reader for THE WHISPERING PASS, I hope you’ll sign up again!

MERCH MERCH MERCH

Guys I am going psycho over all the fun, funky, and creative merch options out there for this trilogy. I got my “basic” bases covered with bookmarks and stickers, but think of all the other neat stuff I can do! Candles. Jewelry. Socks. Tapestries. CATNIP-INFUSED CAT TOYS. The possibilities are endless! The only limits are my wallet and my spouse.

Check out this cool line-up of stuff I have right now, though:

I’ll have all of the goodies with me at every event I do, and I’m looking into setting up an online shop so you can buy whatever you want, whenever you want. Send me a carrier pigeon (or Instagram message) with what other kinds of merch you think I should look into.

OTHER STUFF, I GUESS

Editing THE FROZEN STEPPE took up the majority of my May and June, but now it’s time to pivot to the third book in this trilogy… I’ve written about 25% of the book so far, and my goal is to have it done by the end of this year so that you don’t have to wait too, too long for the epic conclusion to Munne, Ray, and Seth’s stories. The title and cover art are already complete for this book, so I have to practice my self-restraint and not spoil things too early… But maybe I’ll slip up in one of my future captain’s logs. Who knows? But it is not this day.

Keep checking out my Upcoming Events tab as I add more throughout the year! I like yapping and scribbling my name on paper, so come see me at one of the events!

Thank you for all your support, and please be sure to leave reviews of my books on all the websites, even if you hated them! Especially if you hated them! I want to know, so I can do better as a writer.

See ya’ll in the next one!
