Despite the number of times someone sticks “swordsman” after my name in an article, I haven’t fenced much over the past decade or so. Now, I’m going back to my roots, studying classical French foil fencing with an excellent instructor here in Vancouver. En Guarde!

Asked David Gerrold about ending a series, he said, “It’s over when characters have said all they needed.” I chose “Let Cade, Corrigan, and crew blow the world up” and “More vampire kangaroo.”

Too busy for a newsletter but for Feb, here are some of my 📚️ priorities as an indie SFF writer:
1. Bookstore Outreach. Local over Monopolies!

This #SelfieSaturday wants to remind you that there will be a partial #BookCover reveal less than two weeks away! Book six never looked so good before.
#BookCoverReveal #IndieAuthorLife #AuthorUpdate #CoverRevealCountdown #BookSeriesLife
A high-quality paperback book with a blind-debossed cover resting on a weathered drystone wall in the Lake District. The background features the jagged silhouette of the Langdale Pikes under a heavy, bruised purple sunset. The image should focus on the physical texture of the book's spine against the rough, lichen-covered stone.
"The manuscript is locked. The cover is finalized. Now we wait for the printers to do their magic. The physical copies of *Cumbria In Verse - Lakes To Fells In Poetry* are going to feel as good as they read.

If you write words today, that is progress. It also makes you better than thereoretical world leaders who invade sovereign nations contrary to both international and domestic law. #authorsky #authorupdate #writingispolitical
Anyway, I’m writing a romantasy as the next full novel to release in ‘26. (Romantasy-sci RomantaSFF?) IntrogressionTree will be for people who too jaded to get into cozy romance who get bored without heavier elements. And those who need characters rough around the edges.

Do I do a reveal? Do I dare publish this politically charged work that mirrors our time? Can I even attempt this within the next 3 years? At this point, only time will tell. In the meantime, the writing portion is almost done and will soon be off to edits and beta readers. #authorupdate #booksky
