25% Into Seeker’s Reckoning & My Weird LitRPG Side Project | Author Diary, October 9, 2026

This week, I’ve been making more progress on my strange little LitRPG side project. I still don’t quite know what I’m going to do with it, but I’m having far too much fun with it to stop.

I’ve also returned to Seeker’s Reckoning, the third standalone novel in the Ravenglass Guardians series. I’m around 25% into the draft now. This one has a very different feel from the previous books, combining

Quotes by Jon Cronshaw (?)

“Lev made a show of considering this for a moment before leaning forward. “I like it. Just one little question. Which colour paint should we use?” “Erm.” Fedor stared down at his hands. “Oh.” “So, your plan is one of us escapes, finds some paint, sneaks back in, paints a big message on the side of the building with the vague hope that the others might not only see it, but also understand the message?” He raised a finger. “And, with that knowledge, they’ll whisk us away from the evil assassin riding a magical unicorn to the land of rainbows and pixies?”
― Jon Cronshaw, Dawn of Assassins

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has tau...” He frowns. “Taught, kid.” “Has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but — I hope — into a better shape.”
