I am late to just about every trend. But hey, it’s still July, so I figure I'm still in time for the 'mid-year check-in'!

So far this year, The Pillars of the Sky has passed the 300K words mark… but it still isn’t finished. It’s getting closer though, I promise. And I truly appreciate your patience while I wrangle this beast into shape.

The good news? I already has a cover, and it’s a stunner thanks to the amazing Felix Ortiz. I can’t wait to show you in the coming months.

Once the draft is done, it’ll go to my Alpha readers, then I will work on rewrite before handing it to my Beta readers, and then finally to my editor. I’ll also start building the ARC team for launch prep.

When 2025 began, I hoped to publish this year. That’s looking unlikely now, but I’m aiming for a Q1 2026 release. And the good part? Books 2.5 and 3 will come a lot faster.

I can't wait for you to explore Caithane, meet the Knights of Cythis, and ride across the plains of Kia Norma with the Horse Clans.

Thanks for sticking with me. Your support means the world.
