Howdy, y'all! I am indeed still alive and kicking. Got a couple of bits of news for you!

First up, Nexus has been rebranded to Tales of Oakwood Hall - Book 1: Nexus, ahead of publication on KDP. Barring complications (of which there will no doubt be many), I'm aiming to have it up on Amazon by the middle of August, in both Kindle and Paperback formats. I might do hardcover, if enough people mention wanting it. Speak up!

Second, and possibly more exciting...not only is there a complete outline for the as-yet untitled second book, the prologue and first chapter are written. Once I've got a decent (and reasonably edited) backlog, I'll start posting it here on Royal Road. And once it has a title, of course.

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

For those who are still following, I also have a complete outline for the next book of The Kinnear Chronicles, entitled Broken Circle. That will follow the second book of Oakwood Hall.

I won't promise release dates for either of those, because my writing schedule is uneven (stupid full time job)...but they are coming!

That's all for now. In case you missed the announcements, all three books of Kinnear and all of Pluto are up on Amazon now. You'd be doing me a big favor if you left reviews there...every review helps visibility, after all.

And that's all the begging I'm going to do. Honest.

Hope you're all having a good summer, and not frying in the heat! Sparkle says hi!
