Bears, Boats, Battlesea Galactica

How is it May already? Did anyone else feel like they time travelled? Where have I even been this whole time? It feels like I’m only just waking from a long and disorienting hibernation... Wait, is my brain a bear? It would explain so many things... 

Anyways, here we are. Dawning of the Sun has been officially finished. All the edits are done and the manuscript is being submitted for interior layout sometime this week! This means a lot of things. Mostly it means that once that layout has been approved (by me), advanced reader copies will be sent out! To those of you who have agreed, I thank you. For anyone who does reviews, has a book influencer account of any kind, etc feel free to contact me to request an ARC copy. I am so happy to be able to share my work and please spread the word! Pirates! Ships! Sword fights! Promiscuity! Banter! It's all there. I know that at least a few fantasy readers will enjoy it.  

On the Waning of the Moon front, it would appear that the first draft will likely be completed this month! *Gasp!* Yes, only two years instead of 16 to write a manuscript. I’m improving. My betas will be on the edge of their seats to hear this news, but sadly many many many edits will be needed before this manuscript can be looked upon by sane mortals. I’m already aware of many kinks and missing details that will need to be addressed, sorted, categorized, re-thought, and executed (pun intended). << This is funny on a lot of levels but mostly because there are a lot of deaths in Waning of the Moon, the second book in the Aeternum series, if you haven’t been following along.  

So, once that beast is complete and I move to the edits phase, I will not leave the writing alone. I plan to keep writing and get a good grip and start on the next manuscript, Eventide of the Crown, book three of the Aeternum series. I was calling it book 2.5 for a while, but I have changed my mind, despite the fact that it occurs at the same time as book two. It’s fiiiine... mostly... probably.  
​
So there’s a little insight into the goings on behind the scenes of the scenes of my works. Dawning of the Sun is on track to be released at roughly the end of August. I’m excited and terrified. I’ll keep you posted on the goings on and when the pirates will be sailing into your hands. We’re getting closer and closer to that finish line, but really isn’t it just the starting line?
