Almost there...

Currently working on the EPILOGUE of book three. Then the read aloud bit. THEN the formatting and publishing. THEN THEN the cheering and being done and being able to take a breather and remember what "outside" is like. I think there are trees involved, but I can't be sure.

This editing process has been...a lot. But it takes as long as it takes, and it'll be worth it when I can publish it without cringing over plot holes. It should be worth the wait to readers, too, as you'll be getting your money's worth of story; it's well over the length of the first and second Vanguard books. That's a lot of pining and naked pirate, let me tell you.



Here's another art sample. Some very skilled stuff right there...ahem. (I do what I can, okay?) IT IS WHAT IT IS.

If the universe is at all kind, editing should be done by the end of this week, and next week can be devoted to getting this OUT THERE. But no promises. It only leads to frustration and heart ache. Just ask Merric. ;)

But...sometimes, you need to stretch your legs and work on something different. I felt almost like I was in a writing rut, so after receiving an inspiring gift from a friend, I followed that inspiration into a fresh, new project, something to get me excited. It was a book about Ancient Greece--something that has been a semi-obsession of mine for the past year (and a previous love of my childhood). Thanks to a slew of Mary Renault books and a little something called Assassin's Creed Odyssey, not to mention a handful of excellent fanfiction AUs set in the era, I couldn't get Greece out of my head. Getting the reference book was the last push I needed to make the decision: Vanguards needed to be on h

Felix the Flautist is returning as the main character in my second book, The King's Whisper. There will be bandits, pirates, and lots of pining (because what is a good story without pining??). There will also be eyebrows. Arching, furrowing, and stealing the show, as per usual. "Whose eyebrows?" you ask. This guy's. More soon. -T.S.
