This year has gone by so fast. I’m pleased I’ve made my goal of finishing the seventh and final novel of the Dragon’s Breath Series featuring Bailey and Aidan. The edits for Cast by Flames are finished, and I sent the final version to the audio publisher yesterday afternoon. Of course, it will still take some time to get it recorded and edited for that version, but I’ll let you know when I have a release date for it. In the meantime, the ebook will be out on December 30th for you to enjoy. That is only five days away!

This installment was my longest book yet at 158,000 words (final count after changes), so it was with the editor for over a month before I got it back. During that time, I began work on Galadon. It’s the one spin-off novel for the series. So far, I’ve written over 21,000 words, and I’m loving the journey with him. If all goes well, I’ll have his book out by late April 2025.

My publishing goals after this series have changed since I last discussed the topic. A whole new story and world have been developing in my head this year within the fantasy genre. I don’t want to give away much right now, but I will definitely give you all more details in a few months.

In the meantime, I’m wishing you all happy holidays (whichever you celebrate). With a 3-year-old and 7-year-old, I’ll have a mess on my hands this morning to clean up from presents, but it’s always fun to see their excitement on Christmas morning.
