Happy 2021!! I know this year has had its ups and downs already, but come on, it has to be better than 2020, right? Right? (Dear Lord, I hope so…)

Picking up the pieces

I wrote about some of the troubles I ran into last year. To me, writing has become more and more engrossing with each book. 2020 was the ultimate pushback on that mentality. The world demanded more time from me with each building crisis until writing became less about the journey and more about an end product.

That’s not what I wanted when I started this game.

2021 is about a firm restart. It’s about remembering the fun that comes with storytelling and the joy of being surprised by the twists and turns along the way.

At the start of 2020 I had a plan in mind for this year. It was audacious with DSA Season Two being released along the back half of the year. That isn’t going to happen after the setbacks of the last year.

Instead, this year is all about building my content library. DSA Season Two is at the top of my to-do list, with the draft for Book Two coming up next month. From there, I am going to finish Army in the Obelisk and set the monthly release schedule of this Greystone serial that has become very near and dear to me for the challenges it has provided along the way.

Those are my big projects for the year. The DSA release schedule has not been set, and will definitely NOT be monthly like with season one.

2021, in my eyes, is the year of the draft. By the end of the year, my goal is to have no less than six books written (I’m pushing for 8 or 9).

DSA Season One Sale

To celebrate the new year, I’ve put DSA Season One on sale. Each book is only $0.99.

Ben Riley, Morgan Dunleavy, and the rest of the cast have been creeping into my mind lately. They need their next adventures to be told and Season Two is going to blow your mind. Revelations about The Witness, the truth about the trees from The Clearing revealed, and the secret history of Susan Metcalf comes to light. That’s just the tip of the iceberg with the DSA.

The best is yet to come.

It’s corny to say that, right? I truly do believe it though. I’m disappointed there won’t be more releases this year. I’m angry at the world on most days about what we’ve had to endure over the last 9 months. But I’m dedicated to make the future brighter and better by continuing the stories you’ve come to enjoy.

I’m excited about the journeys ahead and hope you will be too.

Happy 2021. Let’s do our part to make it a great one.
