Status Update #16: May 2026

The last few months have been a bot crazy. There have been a few highs but many more lows. Family dramd, two boiuts of viruses, a very sick cat, as well as day-job pressures as that side of things runs into the home straight for a sreies of projects that will see either victory or bloody defeat revealed at the end of September! Regardless, I'm still working through the edits of USV#4: Odin's Hall. At the same time I'm still writing new USV material and posting on Patreon. While there is still far too much going on, now that the household is back to good health, I'm getting back up to speed with my writing. Things definetly slowed down in April and early May. Over the past month, I've got through the following: Worked through the edits of ASTFNA#5: Blood on the Snow, a USV short story set between USV#4 and USV#5. Worked through half the edits of USV#4: Odin's Hall (continuing). Got 5,500 words down for USV#5: Markland Aflame, getting the word count to 56,000. Got 5,000 words down for ASTFNA#6, which sits in the timeline after USV#5.

Wrote 3,000 words (and posted 2,000) on Patreon for USV set around 1750AD. Arranged 2 new ebook covers. So, work continues! At the top of this page you will see the cover for ASTFNA#5: Blood on the Snow. This is a short stroy set mostly Uppsala, Sweden, just after the events in USV#3: Loki's Rage, and during USV#4: Odin's Hall. It will be released the month after Odin's Hall, and the month before USV#5: Markland Aflame. Well, that's plan! Thanks for stopping by!
