It's a release day for me and fellow author Matt Sugerik. The fourth volume of our Promptly Written short fiction anthology is now available on Amazon in eBook and paperback editions. You can also read for free if you have a Kindle Unlimited subscription.

This volume contains all the stories from season four of the Promptly Written podcast, where Matt and I each tackle a monthly crowd-sourced writing prompt. If you haven't listened, the gag is that Matt and I are very different writers, thinkers, and people in general, and so it's fun to see how each of us handles the prompts from month to month. There are no genre restrictions nor word limit, though we try to stay between 1000-2000 words apiece if we can. The podcast sort of acts as the audiobook edition of the stories if you'd rather listen than read.

On other fronts, I am working on the fifth and final book in the Driver series. It's something to which I've been looking forward for a while, and now that I'm working on it, I'm finding it to be slow going. It will likely be the most unorthodox entry in the series yet, so if you liked the first book, then this one is for you!

The book will be a patchwork of narrative, poems, songs, short stories, memories, articles, etc. On top of that, the subject matter will be decidedly metaphysical, and the plot will exhibit more of a fantastic style than prior entries. Still, it will reflect aspects of each book that came before it, and my hope is that this installment will allow me to do justice to the Driver concept in a way that I haven't been able to thus far. Be on the lookout for a 2023 release, if all goes well.
