The first writing update of 2025! This year is going to be packed. You know, like every year is… haha. What are we waiting for? Let’s get to it!
Writing Update
Greystone
The draft for Book Eight is DONE. It’s a beast of a book. 98,000 words for the initial draft. I had a ton of help at the house so I could work through this one. I can’t thank them enough.
If you’ve been reading my Friday posts on Patreon or last month’s blog about the Greystone Reading Order, you know the title already. Book Eight is called Legends and Legacies. It is the most important book in the series to date.
Everything changes here. No hyperbole. The cast is fundamentally set on a new path from this moment that will launch us straight toward the series conclusion next year.
I’m working through the edits right now. It’s a long process and I’m giving myself some leeway to make sure every part of this book is the very best it can be. I’m hoping to finish up by the end of March to dive right into Book Nine in April.
Alpha and Omega
The cover reveal came out last month. Check out the back cover blurb below and get ready for June’s release!
The Kindly Killer stalks Portents.
Seven victims have been claimed by the murderous madman. No connections exist between the deceased. No clues remain at the scenes.
Greg Loren knows the killer is behind the death of his wife and he’s willing to do anything to prove it. Crossing lines comes at a cost, though, both personally and professionally. With his career at risk, Loren must discover what is more important: the answers to the past or carving out a future.
Soriya Greystone watches him from a distance, afraid to pull him into her world. But when the twin masked menaces of Comedy and Tragedy strike the city with a chaotic crime wave, the pair are forced together.
How are these two disparate threats connected? And what is the secret behind the Kindly Killer’s mania?
Witness the beginning as Loren and Soriya meet for the first time. But will their partnership survive the trial by fire?
The second half of the Greystone Saga kicks off with a murder and a promise—one that portends dark days ahead…
What else? (Seriously? Are you kidding me?)
Nothing else to report at this time. Greystone is my main focus for most of the year and I’m going to keep grinding to make the conclusion of the series spectacular.
