November 2025 Updates:
​
​
General News
​
I'm focused on the United States of Vinland this year. Currently, I'm wrapping up USV#4: Odin's Hall. Once that's done and gone to the editors I'll be working soley on USV#5: Markland Aflame. The latter is coming along well, with nearly a half of it done. My day job is very busy, but I'm managing to balance things. What does this all mean? Well, it means we should be seeing some new releases soon!
​​​​​
Ossard News
​​​​
The Ossard series will be finalised next year and followed by a surprise fantasy release. I'm currently wrapping up the climax chapters and then will reread the whole series to ensure all loose ends that need to be wrapped up are. I really want to get this done, but USV needs to get a batch of releases first. I'm sorry it's taking so long!
​​​​​​
USV News
​​​
I did previously say that in 2025, I would relaunch the USV project with a series of short stories and collections of vignettes. These will skip ahead in my alternate timeline, allowing me to reveal the full history of this fascinating universe. The relaunch is coming, but it will slip into the first part of 2026. It will include what was just mentioned, as well as USV#4 and USV#5. USV is my main focus. I am releasing weekly articles to progress the timeline on Patreon, and this is the first step of the relaunch. Here is a link to a recent blog entry about it.
​​
USV#4: Odin's Hall should see publication around the beginning of 2026. There will also be several USV short stories as well as USV#5. USV#4 and USV#5 are being written back to back, with the publication of USV#5: Markland Aflame marking the end of the initial Markland Settlement storyline (or sub-series) for the USV.
​
Red, White & Blue News
​
My near-future science fiction series, the Red, White, and Blue setting, will see new releases in 2026. White #1 just needs a final revision, White #2 a few new chapters written, as does Blue #1 & #2. Red #2 also needs some work. I occasionally work on projects like these, outside of USV, to give me a change of scenery and keep me fresh. I will release these when they are ready, and mostly batched together, but my creative priority right now is USV and wrapping up Ossard.

Upcoming Appearances
None Scheduled
Broadly speaking I'm taking a break from public apperances after more than a few hectic years.
If there is an event you would like me to attend feel free to suggest my name to the organisers so that they may make an approach. I do eventually want to get back to doing some, but at the moment my focus is writing. I am no longer available for book store signings.
