Third Book of Theus's Story Is Underway
Theus's story has been a joy to create, and it feels as though the words have come with greater ease than any extended narrative I've produced since the beginning of Kestrel's story among the kingdoms of the Inner Seas.
The third book is underway, and - for the most part - has continued to stick to the plot outline that I created before launching this series. Knowing what scenarios to stick to and what each chapter is leading to helps keep the flow going...it avoids writing into a dead end, as sometimes happens.
I expect this book to be available on Kindle in mid-July. There is no working title at this point, but if I had to make one up on the spur of the moment, it might be "The Return to Home". We'll see of that feels right in a few weeks!

July Progress on Writing!
'Tangled Engagements' manuscript is progressing nicely. July was a productive month, despite the time I spent binge-watching Big Bang Theory and The Lizzy Bennett Diaries instead of composing.
The first draft of the manuscript will finish up in August, with editing and proofing to follow. This manuscript is deviating from the original plot outline I wrote back in the winter, as the end of the story line approaches. But I think everything is going to end up approximately where I expected!

A Map of Theus's World is Coming
If you'd like to understand the geography of Theus's world, stay tuned! Valentina Migliore is developing a map that I will post to the Ingenairii Press Facebook page later this month. I always draw a map at the beginning of each series to develop a consistent story about travels; with the heavy interest that the Memory Stone series has drawn, I thought readers might appreciate seeing the "where's" of the landscape. Please check back in mid-September.
Memory Stones Series Continues
The newest book in the Memory Stone series continues the story of Theus, Coriae, and the world they live in as "The Disquieted Land" is now available as a print and ebook through Amazon.
Memory Stone Six Is Underway
Currently, I'm writing the sixth book in the Memory Stone series featuring Theus and Coriae. I left their story hanging back in 2019 at the end of the fifth book, The Disquieted Land - I ran into writer's block and had no compulsion to continue the story at the time.
But given the past several months of writing about Kendel and Flora, I feel a new level of energy and the plot is flowing from fingertips to the screen freely now.
And when this book finishes up, I'll be ready to return to Kendel and Flora and keep the Goddess's Gambit adventure moving forward!
