It feels totally unreal, but Hidden Bonds, the last book in the Compound Series, is now officially available in e-book and paperback!

This series has been seven years in the making, and I'm super excited to finally get to share the full story with you.

What's next, you ask? Stay tuned. ;)

🎉 I'm excited to announce that Hidden Bonds, the last book in the Compound Series, is now available for preorder! 🎉

You can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKZJXD7Z

E-book only for now, but the paperback is coming soon. Stay tuned!

I am super excited to announce that Hidden Bonds, the third and FINAL book in the Compound Series, is coming out September 15, 2025! If you haven't already, now is an excellent time to add it to your TBR.

Can't wait? ARC copies are available from Gay Romance Reviews and Booksprout.

Preorders begin August 15th.

Thank you so much for supporting these books. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them. :)

Hi, Goodreads! Hope you're all doing well. I'm just dropping in to answer some (no doubt burning) questions--and to reassure you that I'm still here. ;)

When is book 3 of the Compound Series coming out?
There’s no official release date yet, but it will definitely be in 2025.

Is book 3 the last book in the series?
Yup!

How do I find out more about beta reading, ARCs, release dates, etc.?
The best way is to join my email newsletter list, which I send out once a month. (Bonus: It comes with a free short story set in the Compound Series world!) You might also want to follow me on Instagram, where I post behind-the-scenes stuff and other fun content. I’ll try to keep GR updated with important news in the upcoming months, but those first two are probably going to be more timely.

Are you writing another book after the Compound Series?
Yes! I’ve already started on book 1 of a new series (probably a duology) that is VERY tentatively scheduled for release in 2026-2027.

What’s it about?
It’s a new adult urban fantasy focusing on found family, fate as a capitalist commodity, and a grumpy/burned cinnamon roll, second-chance m/m romance. Basically, we’re talking Umbrella Academy meets Veronica Roth’s Chosen Ones, with a ship that takes notes from Khunbam of Tower of God.

That's it for now! More on beta reading and release dates starting in Jan. Looking forward to seeing you then!

Hi, Goodreads! I'm popping in for two reasons.

Reason #1: I wanted to give a HUGE thank-you to everyone who's read and reviewed the first two books in the Compound Series. I'm so grateful that you decided to spend some time with Bastian and co., and I promise book 3 is on the way!

Reason #2: I wanted to cordially invite you to a Very Official Instagram Launch Event for the release of Fail-Safe, the second book in the Compound Series! I'll be going live on the Bardic Fool Instagram page on Friday, February 4 at 5:30 PM PST with special guest Shayla Morgansen, author of The Elm Stone Saga. We're going to talk about empaths, magic, and the writing/publishing process. PLUS, we'll be answering whatever questions you want to throw our way! Hope to see you there. :)

Hello, Goodreads! Just a note to let you know that I will be minimizing my time on GR this year. But fear not! If you'd still like to get updates on the Compound Series (book 2 is out later this year!), chat about books, or just say hi, you can find me in these places:
