The Sunrise Dagger is coming out at the end of the month, and I canโt wait to put this new chapter in your hands.
More complex, darker, and more ambitious, itโs the best book weโve ever written.
Enjoy one of the new illustrations that adorn it.
The title of this piece is โTHE REBELโ

To the architects of the unseen, the ones building empires on the back of a napkin and birthing galaxies between the hours of midnight and dawn, the cartographers of the impossible: thank you.
Sketches
We're almost there, THE SUNRISE DAGGER comes out on April 29.
Iโm excited, Iโll admit, and the initial feedback has me even more eager to share this story with you. I canโt wait!
Enjoy one of the illustrations I drew myself for the second novel in the series. This piece is titled "The Spy."

Finished - Butcher's Folly
by @nicksnapeauthor.bsky.social. I loved book 1 in this series and I was very excited to get back. And it did not disappoint. And Iโm so ready, to read book 3. But I have to pace myself. Fun action and full of thrills. Be ready for a solid ride. Get your magboots on.
2/2 BTW I'm almost ready to send out arcs of THE SUNRISE DAGGER, if you want one, comment down below!
I told everyone I had 'extensive Sunday plans,' which is just an introvert code for sitting in a chair with a book Iโve been meaning to read for months, and only moving when the sun hits my eyes or I need more food.

Shamefully late, here is my written review of A Memory of Song by @scottpalmerauthor.bsky.social
"For lovers of Grimdark and those who enjoy being challenged by a narrative that refuses to explain itself, this is a phenomenal achievement..."

Thanks so much for including me, Abel! What a 2026 line up... my TBR just got longer - I'm very excited about several of these upcoming releases.
To keep the video under 60 minutes, I had to leave out many of the books recommended by you authors. I will make it up to you soon and mention your books in upcoming videos, I promise!
