Writing is truly a magical journey. I'll spend hours staring at a blank Word document thinking everything I type is dumb, and the next thing I know 100,000 words appear and only half of them are dumb. Magic!

I wrote the first words of Project Herodotus on Nov 24, and have since gotten to 115k words, with many many more to go. Writing something this huge is both incredible and frightening. I don't know what to expect when I release it. But I know I'm excited for it just the same. #booksky #authorsky

🚨🚨WELCOME TO THE NEW DARK AGE🚨🚨 Dark Age does both too much and too little, and the result is a suffocating experience that ends up feeling like a foundational book for the series' next book. Check out my review on @sffinsiders.com 🔽 www.sffinsiders.com/blog/review-...
