Song of the Deep: Posting steadily, but on pause from a writing perspective. May was an absolute black hole from a writing-distraction perspective, and deserves its own update because wow.

Can You Cook a Dragon (Flash Fiction Collection): Now posting daily!

Thistle in the Sky: Marked complete on Wattpad. The last of its two bonus-content chapters went up today.

As the Crow Falls: COMING SOON!

As the Crow Falls: This is where half my time has been going this past month

As the Crow Falls: This is where half my time has been going this past month. Developmental edits are done, and I'm deep into the weeds of line edits, which take (R.I.P.) somewhere in the order of an hour per chapter. This book has 45 chapters. The first ones are all done, though, which means I'm ready to launch as soon as my cover commission comes through. Stay tuned for a formal countdown within the first week of June!

Rocks Can Dance: Still paused. Likely to resume this month.

Super Secret Mystery Project™ That Will Remain A Mystery Until Launch: Also on pause until I feel a desire to work at it, because As the Crow Falls and the next book on this list have eaten my brain.

The Wall of Imanti: So, I uh, may or may not have started Desert Epic? I spent the first three weeks of May frenetically worldbuilding and then PLOTTING on this one instead of editing AtCF, and these characters were screaming at me so loudly by the end that I couldn't help myself. I'm two chapters into it already, but liable to continue quickly. Oops.

Hattu Empire Series (aka Desert Epic): True to expectations, this one went bananas this past month

Hattu Empire Series (aka Desert Epic): True to expectations, this one went bananas this past month. I won't say more, because I'm giving it its own update in this book today!

Holy shit, I was just rereading my update from the beginning of May, and it feels like an actual lifetime ago

Holy shit, I was just rereading my update from the beginning of May, and it feels like an actual lifetime ago. We're now in our first heat warning of the season here (so long, outdoor fridge, we will miss you in a month or so), the cats are no longer fighting over my lap and are instead melted over floors and furniture all across the house, and this month has been insane on the writing front. 

Other than that, there's honestly not much going on. Not that I'm allowed to talk about, anyway. I've turned nearly nocturnal and have returned to the land of four works-in-progress, getting all my ducks in a row for a book launch is driving me out of my freaking mind, and time feels like a steam engine: slow in the moment, but barreling onward far too fast when you take a step back and look at it.

Is it the heat? I'm going to blame the heat. It's freaking hot outside 💀
