The author is actively working on multiple projects, including Book 2 of “Technomancer,” with a draft expected by May. They’ve re-edited “Another Past: Book One” for clarity. Additionally, they’ve launched a YouTube channel and TikTok presence focused on book content, and set up a new newsletter offering exclusive updates and a free short story.

Writing update – Jan 2026

I’ve been busy writing, editing, and working on my marketing via social media lately. Here’s a brief update on what’s been happening in my world of writing.


Technomancer Book 2

I haven’t settled on a title yet, but the story is well underway and I hope the final first draft will be under 140k words. I’m into the final act and expect to be looking for Beta Readers or offering Advanced Reader Copies (ARC) around May of this year. Subscribe to my newsletter via this link if you’d like to be considered for an ARC copy.


Another Past

I’ve completed a re-edit of Another Past: Book One. While the story line has not changed, the writing has been cleaned up and tightened across the entire book. If you purchased it previously, you can re-download via Amazon or Kindle Unlimited to get the refreshed version.

Book two will receive the same editing over the next two months.


Social Media

YouTube

I’ve started a YouTube channel with content related to both my own writing and others. A new monthly review stream titled “Book Battles” will debut this week. Each episode will have a head-to-head comparison of two well known titles or series, one from Science Fiction and Fantasy title. This segment is titled “Sci vs Fi”. The first episode will pit the Lord of The Rings against Dune. Additionally, there will be a segment titled “Something Old” featuring a synopsis of a classic tale that may have been forgotten or overlooked in current BookTube/BookTok recommendations. Finally, the last segment “Something New(er)” will give a brief review and recommendation of a recent title I’ve read.

Additional content I’ll be posting there includes Behind The Scenes (BTS) content on my writing, ideas, and characters from my stories. Check it out and subscribe for more content.

TikTok

I’ve also started posting on TikTok. Specifically, I’m focused on #BookTok and engaging with other independent authors. Feel free to follow me there as well.


A new newsletter

I’ve also set up a new newsletter subscription that will deliver monthly content to your inbox directly. The content will include writing updates, calls for ARC readers, opportunities for give-aways, book reviews and much more. As a welcome bonus, subscribers will receive a free copy of a Halloween special short-story that was awarded third place in an online contest. Subscribe today.
