I officially started work on Book 3 of the Columbus Station Saga about two weeks ago, and progress has been good — the first five chapters are already complete.
The main focus so far has been building out the political framework behind the story. As the series expands, so does the universe around it, and that means the background has to be solid.
A lot of this week’s work has gone into mapping governments, power structures, alliances, and fault lines — the unseen mechanics that sit beneath the action and give it weight. Who answers to whom. Where authority really lies. And what happens when those structures start to crack.
This deeper world-building feeds directly into Book 3, which pushes the series into a wider, more complex, and more tense phase. Politics, espionage, and quiet power plays begin to matter just as much as ships and weapons.
You may have noticed an increase in social media activity this month as well. The plan was always to post more regularly to support the series — sharing progress updates, background notes, and the occasional piece of artwork as things take shape.
At the moment, I’m aiming for a mid-June release for Book 3, with Book 4 following before Christmas.
The working title for Book 3 is Shadow Wars, though that may still change. Once it’s locked in, you’ll be the first to know.
Thanks, as always, to everyone following along — more soon.
