May is upon us and it’s time for a status update. I’ve been writing a book in a new science fiction series. I’ve mentioned it before – Acheron Inheritance. I’m about 50% through the first draft and have been enjoying getting to know a new cast of characters for this series. I was planning to release this book in June, but the plan has changed. I missed the deadline I set for myself for this book. I don’t like missing deadlines, but current events have been really distracting. I pride myself on being able to put on blinders and get to work, but sometimes I need to take them off to see what's going on in the world. Stay safe.

The new plan for Acheron Inheritance is to release the book in September, and I will try to have the audiobook ready for when the book is released. This is something I haven’t done before and requires some coordination.

What’s next for First Colony?

First, thank you for everyone who's read Insurgent. I really wasn’t sure what the response would be to that book given the current global pandemic. If you’ve enjoyed the book, please consider leaving a review.

I’ve begun planning Invasion – First Colony Book 11, and I plan to begin writing it in mid-June. I’m still aiming for a September release for book, and the audiobook will come out within two months after. If you’ve been reading the First Colony series, then you already know that events have been building to an epic showdown. I’m anticipating this book being one of the longest in the series. 

September will be the time for new releases for me.

As always, thank you for reading my work. If you have any questions for me, post them here or send me an email. I'm an avid reader too, so if you have some book recommendations for me I'd love to hear about them. I've recently read Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov and really enjoyed it.
