June 2025 Newsletter

Hello everyone!

I hope all of you have been staying cool in this intense summer heat…

In my last newsletter, I mentioned Book 2 of my fantasy series would probably come out in Aug or Sept. Well, I’ve officially decided that it will be released in October! I haven’t figured out the exact day yet, but October will for sure be the month. Stay tuned for that date in the next newsletter when I have preorder information available.

In the nearer future, as in over the next month, I have some exciting things that I will be sharing across my social media—the official map of Aardon (oooh, aaah), and drum roll please… Book 2’s cover! I finally got on my cover designer’s schedule so I’ll soon have something to show as proof that Book 2 exists.

I’d also like to give a personal thanks to the beta readers who got back to me with their feedback. You know who you are, and I’m beyond grateful for your help in putting Book 2 together!

Last, but not least, I’ve completed the initial phase of my author website overhaul—I felt it was missing a lot and not organized very well, so I made some changes to hopefully make it more functional. And there is more to come as I learn how to add more features.

Please follow my social media below if you’re not already following me there! I tend to provide updates on those platforms faster than through newsletter, but also encourage any fantasy readers you know to sign up for my newsletter too (it’s free!).

That’s all for now. Until next time, thanks for reading!
