August 2025 Newsletter

Hello everyone!

In my last newsletter, I mentioned October would be the month that my second book finally releases. That MIGHT still be the case, but there is also potential that it will be pushed back to November.

I hate to keep delaying its release, but I recently started grad school and a new job and have just been entirely too busy to stay on top of my editing like I wanted. I refuse to rush this book out before it’s ready, but I PROMISE it will be released in 2025.

Now to pivot to better news, my next newsletter will be next month and that’s when I plan to post a cover reveal for Book 2 and (hopefully) have an official release date decided. The cover is already done—I love it!—but you’ll just have to wait a bit longer to see that.

More character artwork is coming as well, along with the official map of Aardon! So still plenty of exciting things in the works as summer comes to an end and fall approaches.

For any Disney fanatics, I just posted a blog about Incredibles 3 that you can check out: https://www.matthewstottwriter.com/post/incredibles-3-plot-speculation

And with that, please check out all my social media below if you’re not already following me there. I tend to provide updates on those platforms faster than through newsletter.

Thanks for your time, and have a great Labor Day!
