Greetings all! 
          
          It’s been a bit since I’ve updated you all on what’s been going on. Here are the two big items:
          
          First, I’ve released the sequel to my bestselling novel Legacy Drive titled Though I Fall! It’s available on Amazon in ebook, paperback and hardcover formats with audiobook coming soon early next year. 
          
          And speaking of audiobooks, this leads me to my next point. Many of you who follow me here on Wattpad were original fans of my Star Wars fanfic titled The Great Awakening. I’m pleased to announce that I’m turning that story into an audiobook! Complete with various voice actors for the different characters, music soundtracks and sound effects, this story will truly come to life for the first time. I’ll be releasing it on my YouTube channel as a single video once it’s complete. This has been a huge undertaking and there’s still a bit to go but I wanted to get the word out. I’ll be sure to let you all know when it’s ready to go!

Well it’s that time of the year again. The Wattys!! Unfortunately, Tears of Fire is ineligible. Wattpad has eliminated the fan fiction category and deemed all fanfics ineligible for entry. It’s a shame, really. This entire platform was built on fan fiction and now it’s being swept under the rug. 
          
          It might be time to take my stories somewhere else. 

Happy Star Wars day, everyone! Let’s all find a way to celebrate our favorite galaxy far, far away even if it’s something small. 
          
          I hope you’re all doing well and May the 4th be with you! 

Hi everyone! For those who haven’t seen the announcement, it looks like Disney is creating a Star Wars film set 25,000 years in the past about the first Jedi to the use Force. I feel violated!!  It is pretty much a spitting description of my story but there’s obviously nothing I can do or say about it. Regardless, I’m excited to see the franchise move into this era. Also curious to see how they tell their version of the story compared to mine. Either way, good times ahead in Star Wars land! 

Hi all! It's been a bit since I've done an update so I wanted to stop by and let you all know what's going on. I've been diligently working on the sequel to my original story, Legacy Drive, which is available on Amazon (linked below). Legacy Drive was released in 2019 and I'm hoping to have the first draft of the sequel done this year. 
          
          If you'd like to support my writing, purchasing a copy of my novel and leaving a review on Amazon is a HUGE help!

          I'm still getting my thoughts together for what will be the third and final book in my Star Wars series here on Wattpad. I have a lot of the details already ironed out and I really think you're going to love it. In truth, I think it will be a story which could potentially reshape the way we think about Star Wars. However, it will more than likely be next year that I'm able to work on it and start releasing  chapters as my focus at the moment is on my Legacy Drive series. 
          
          Other than that, it's been snowing with also a lot of freezing rain so I've been holed up for the past several days. Most people look at that is a negative but for writers, it's a big plus!! 
          
          Thank you for reading and I hope you're all doing well!

I hope everyone’s doing well and having a good holiday season so far! I’m working on the outline for the third and final book in my original Star Wars series and getting all the pieces in place before I start putting them together. I’m extremely excited to be working on this story with the hope of wrapping it up in 2023. 
          
          I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again:
          
          This is the story I’ve always wanted to write. 
          
          Thank you to those who’ve joined me in this journey and I look forward to finishing it up with you! 

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 
          
          I had a bit of time between projects today and decided to update the cover art for Tears of Fire. I'm really liking this one much better than the others. Yes, this is the third cover I've gone through. Let's just say I'm indecisive at times. :) 
          
          What do you all think?

Well the 2022 Wattys Shortlist has been announced and unfortunately, it looks like Tears of Fire didn't make the cut. I'm a bit disappointed if I'm being perfectly honest. Even though I knew winning would be a longshot, I thought it was at least worthy of the shortlist. I know there are a number of factors which go into it and that it was also determined by AI algorithms. At the end of the day, I'm still incredibly proud of Tears of Fire and not making the shortlist will do nothing to slow down my goal of completing the third and final book in the series. 
          
          Thanks again to all those who've been through the journey of both books! I'm looking forward to revealing some info on the third book soon!
