Hello everyone,
          
          It’s been much longer than I expected since my last update, but I finally have some good news to share. My life has calmed down a lot. I’m no longer homeless, and I’m no longer unemployed. Yay!
          
          That said, full-time teaching has once again devoured most of my free time. Fortunately, I’m learning to set better boundaries between work and hobbies, and that means I’m finally carving out space to return to writing. As a heads-up, Greywood will likely be updated (and revamped) first. The full 28–29 chapters are now fully planned — I just need to actually write them T_T.
          
          Dragon Soul may follow, as its 30 chapters and epilogue are also mapped out. However, that story demands a bit more world-building, so it’ll take longer to bring to life.
          
          And lastly… there’s a third series in the works: Edgewater / Ward 4 Mercenaries. It’s a lighter-hearted M/M shifter romance trilogy. The first book features a human/dragon-shifter pairing, with the next likely involving either a human/cat or human/werewolf duo. Each of the three books is already outlined, I just have to breathe them into being.
          
          Thank you all for your patience, support, and for sticking with me through everything. I’m truly hoping to keep the updates flowing more consistently from here on out.

Hello everyone.
          
          I first want to apologize for the lack of February update.  I had really wanted to get Greywood chapters 13-15 (maybe even 16) up last month but it couldn't happen.  Truth of the matter is that I've been struggling to find meaningful employment and the last month was spent in homelessness.  While I did have shelter, thanks to help from a veterans group, I found that I couldn't focus in my setting.  I'm now housed and am slowly working my way to some normalcy. 
          
          That being said, my main focus in March is to get more of Greywood up since I missed my personal deadline on it.  I am not ignoring Dragon Soul, though, and maybe I can get one or two chapters of that up this month also. 
          
          For those of you that have stuck around, thank you so much!  I hope you continue to stay and enjoy what I have in store for you.

Hello everyone!
          
          I just wanted to give a quick update to let you all know that I have not vanished, though it seems like I have!  I do have the next 3 chapters of Greywood in draft form but I'm working on editing them before I publish them.  It's just been a very CRAZY week and things are just starting to calm down.  I do hope to get the chapters up soon... perhaps even in the next few days for you all to read~  I do want to try to get a few more chapters to Greywood done before the end of the month... maybe getting in 4-5.  We shall see~ 
          
          I'm kind of curious as to why Dragon Soul hasn't been "approved" yet by inkitt... I may need to ask support for information on that...  Though I think that story will finally start to get more attention once I'm near 10 chapters...  Hopefully sooner :S

Dragon Soul Chapter 03 has been uploaded!
          
          Calder's secret has been revealed. But what news does his brother have for him that can upend his life as he knows it?

Dragon Soul Chapter 02 has been uploaded!  
          
          The Dragon Prince has revealed his identity.  How will he handle an angry human guild master?

Happy New Year, everyone!  Chapter 12 of Greywood is now up!  
          
          That being said, I wanted to share that I've started streaming myself writing on twitch.  I didn't think I'd find much success in it, but I was pleasantly surprised in learning that streaming had kept me focused when writing.  
          
          That being said... chapters 2-4 won't be ready to release in December for Dragon Soul afterall.  They're all drafts right now and I still have to finish writing chapter 4, so they'll be released in January in the end.  I'm sorry! 
          
          I'm going to make it a goal to try and get at least 4 chapters out each month for Dragon Soul in the new year.  Hopefully I can keep that up!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!  
          
          I'm working on chapter 2-4 for Dragon Soul and I am hoping to get most of them up before the end of the month!  Though I will admit that PoE2 has kept me occupied!  But I'm excited to get more of the story out!  
          
          I'm already thinking of resolutions for next year, and hoping I finish several chapters in the future~

I had forgotten to post this yesterday, but Ever Dark - Acolyte - Chapter 2 is up!  There are also some edits going on for Chapter 01, but it only improves readability and doesn't change anything up.  I may also make some changes to Dragon Soul this week as well.

I've finally started on Dragonsoul!  Woot!  This story is one that I've been holding onto since high school.  Though there have been many changes, several of the ideas, characters, and even themes I was afraid of writing about back then have made it to this version of the story.  I hope you all will enjoy it!
          
          Also, I've started to try my hand in fanfiction again with Ever Dark ~Acolyte~.  It's based off of Raythe Reign's (X. Aratare) EverDark series.  If you don't know of their work, I highly recommend you give them a read, either through Amazon or their own webpage!

Hello everyone.  I'm sad to say that Kindle Vella is going down, so my story there will be removed very soon.  I suppose that is good news here, though, as it means that more chapters will be uploaded soon.  
          
          That being said, I am currently working on a new and different project so Greywood may take a backburner for a while.  If you've enjoyed what you have read so far, feel free to like, comment, and vote!
