Captain’s Log #0008: 88 Days To Go

Hello readers new and returning! In this log, I’m gonna yap about the next 88 days, 3 more events I have on the calendar, and also give you your next sneak peek at book 3 of my trilogy.

But first – THANK YOU to everyone who’s taken the time to subscribe to my newsletters, follow me on the socials, and read my books. You all are so important to my writing journey and I wouldn’t be where I’m at now without your help. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

88 days left

That’s how many days are left in 2025. That’s also how many days I have to finish writing the third and final installment in “Chronicles of the Second Sun”. While no one is actually imposing this deadline on me, I’m setting my own goals and finish lines because I want to be done! I want to get this book out the door! I want you all to see how Munne, Ray, and Seth’s story comes to an end! The good news is that I walked into October with ~60,000 words already written (and 1 POV completely finished). I still have ~90,000 words to go, including the other 2 POVs and the epilogues.

Yes, that’s a plural on epilogues. Expect to see other voices in Daaria in these, just like with the epilogue from THE FROZEN STEPPE.

Events in 2025

2025 is almost over! I have three more events planned this year, and that’s it! No more!

(that might be a lie – if someone tempts me with a good time, I’ll probably accept)

Check my Upcoming Events page for more details on these events!

Book Three

I want to build the hype for book 3. I want people to be excited for early 2026. So we start the hype train today. All aboard! Now departing from THE FROZEN STEPPE. Next stop: THE SUNDERED SUN.
