So sorry for such a long wait, but finally I'm back to publishing chapters for The Last Esarian Prince! As promised, the entire story has undergone major editing and the final chapters will be published twice a week until it's complete.
          
          I really hope you enjoy the rest of the story! I'm super proud of it, even if it did take so much longer to finish than intended.
          
          Thank you for your patience! <3

A Night of Howls and Echoes is now complete! So if you were waiting for all the chapters to be published to give it a read, now's your chance! 
          
          There's going to be a month or two's break before the third book whilst I finish up the final edits alongside working on some more projects offline (cough cough, Curse of Ferreus from Rowan's perspective ;)), but rest assured it will be published soon! 
          
          I'm also making some good progress with the final chapters of The Last Esarian Prince. The ending has become a whole lot longer and more complex than I anticipated, but I'm super happy with how it's turning out. I can't wait for you to check it out soon!

For anyone who enjoyed Curse of Ferreus, check out the latest part if you haven't already! (Just in case your notifications are as broken as mine seem to be :'))
          
          I've got an announcement and an idea that I'd love your input on!

Hi folks! So sorry for the radio silence on this message board for the last few months. I thought I'd drop in with a quick message to let you know what I'm up to.
          
          Firstly, apologies for the sporadic updates for The Last Esarian Prince. I promised a chapter a week but it somehow turned into a chapter a month (whoops!). Offline, I'm working on the last few chapters, but I've decided to pause on publishing them here until I've given the whole story some much-needed editing. So by the time chapter 30 is published, it will be the final version with a set schedule for the rest of the chapters too. I'm not sure how long exactly it will take, but I'm determined to finish it soon (ideally in the next month or two). 
          
          I've done a little sketch of baby Fornax napping in a field of daisies as an apology (and it is super cute, if I do say so myself). You can find him at the end of the Preface!
          
          Behind the scenes, I've got two story ideas that I'm super excited to start working on once TLEP is finished. If you liked the Curse of Ferreus duology, I'm sure you'll enjoy one in particular ;) (and hopefully you'll enjoy the other one too, even though it's a genre I've never written in before!)
          
          That's everything from me! Let me know how you've been and what stories you've been enjoying recently (I'm always on the lookout for some good recs).
          
          Enjoy the rest of your week!

Hi! For December's slightly earlier update before 2026, I thought I’d take the time to go over what I've been up to all year, and to thank you for another year of support! Here's my 2025 round-up.
          
          This year, I've worked on Oath of the Hunter (completed, save for a bonus chapter still in the works), A Trail of Blood and Smoke (completed), A Night of Howls and Echoes (ongoing), Caught in the Tides (completed) and The Last Esarian Prince (ongoing).
          
          In total, across these stories, I've written over 280,000 words (which is crazy to think about)! 
          
          I've taken part in the Open Novella Contest this year, as well as writing over 50,000 words in 30 days, which have both been so much fun! I also submitted Curse of Ferreus to the Ambys earlier this year, and it's reached round 3!
          
          I'd love to know your thoughts! How has your year been? What are you most looking forward to in 2026? If you've been following along with my stories this year, which one has been your favourite and why? Have you enjoyed these monthly announcements? What would you like to see from me in the new year? Let me know!
          
          Also, I'm so sorry for the long wait on the second bonus chapter in Oath of the Hunter! It is on the way, slowly but surely. I'm up to 6500 words at the moment, and I'm hoping to publish it in the next few weeks. If you would like to see any specific scenes or ideas explored, now is the time to request it! 
          
          Whether you’ve voted for, commented on, or read what I've written this year, thank you so much! I cannot explain how much your support means to me.
          
          Wishing you all the best for the new year!

You Are too Good 

Hello, hello! It's time for the penultimate monthly update of 2025. As you might have seen, I've spent November focusing on writing 'The Last Esarian Prince'.
          
          My goal was to hit 50,000 words within the month, which I managed on the 24th! At the end of November, the official word count is 65,600 words, but the story isn't finished just yet. Updates won't be posted every day from now on (apologies for the cliffhanger!) but I won't leave you hanging too long, rest assured. I'll try and get a chapter out every week for you. Then, once the story is complete, I'll be making some much-needed edits.
          
          If you've followed along throughout November, thank you! I hope you've enjoyed seeing the story progress this way! I'll see you next month for the 2025 round-up.
          
          Have a great week!

Hi! It's monthly update time once again.
          
          I've spent October prepping for Novel November 2025 and the challenge of writing 50,000 words in 30 days! Usually this is an offline project for me, but this year I'm switching things up and posting here instead. This means I will be (hopefully!) publishing a chapter every day to hit the word count. Follow along if you'd like to! The story is one I've been planning for a few months now (it's the same one I've mentioned in a few of these monthly updates) but be prepared for the roughest of rough drafts. 
          
          The first chapter of The Last Esarian Prince is out now! I hope you like it :)

Hi everyone! Here's my monthly update for September!
          
          This month, I've been working on the final edits for the third story in the Magic and the Damned Trilogy.
          
          I've also been finalising the first bonus chapter for Oath of the Hunter based on your suggestions. Over 9000 words later, and it's finally done! Check it out if you'd like, and let me know what you think!! 
          
          If you have any other suggestions for a bonus chapter, please let me know! I'll see you next month with another update.
