I have multiple updates for you all. First, those who have been waiting for the paperbacks to be available on the rest of the Dragon’s Breath Series can finally purchase them. All the novels up to Cast by Flames are up on the retailers. I still need to do Galadon and will hopefully have it ready next month.

Next, I sent Oaths & Vengeance (book 1 of the Realm of Zadrya series) off to the editor this past weekend. It turned out even longer than expected at around 148,000 words, but since it’s a romantasy, that’s not uncommon. I want to thank my beta readers for their enthusiasm for this book and for their helpful suggestions that helped make it shine. It features a dual first-person point of view for the main female and male characters and is more explicit than the main Dragon’s Breath Series (although Galadon was another story). There will eventually be a crossover between the two series, so if you’ve missed the old gang, there will be a chance to see them again. Those who have read the epilogue in Galdon know exactly what I mean.

I’ve worked hard to be ahead of schedule for this one because I plan to have it ready a few weeks before the release date to give out ARCs and get the paperback formatted. With it being the first novel in the series, I want to get Oaths & Vengeance out to reviewers, so the word can spread. I will post more about that in late July, but if you’re interested, you can go ahead and apply to be on my ARC list HERE. In case you missed it, I recently posted the first two chapters of the book and character art so readers can see if this new novel is something they’d like to read.

In the meantime, I’ve started work on the next book in the Realm of Zadrya series. My hope is to have it finished and released in November or December of this year. I should have a solid idea in a couple of months for when to schedule its release date based on my progress. My goal is to keep the gap short between books if possible. Now that my youngest little terrorizer, I mean sweet, innocent little boy, will be starting school this fall, I will have a lot more time to focus on writing without the distractions.

That’s all my news for now, but you are welcome to ask questions below if you have them.
