    I’m still not feeling 100%, so it’s been another editing-focused week.

    I’ve now finished editing RAF Dragon Corps Book 1 and moved straight on to Book 2, keeping things ticking along despite the illness.

    Big news this week: Final Flight—the finale of The Ravenglass Throne—is now live on Kindle!

    A huge milestone bringing the series to its conclusion.

    On the reading front, I’ve just finished This Inevitable Ruin (Dungeon Crawler Carl, Book 7), which I thoroughly enjoyed—a brilliant, chaotic end to the arc.

    Mar 13 2026

    I’m still feeling under the weather this week, so instead of drafting I’ve been focusing on editing. I’ve been working through ** The Prince and the Fool (Ravenglass Legends, Book 4)** to prepare the manuscript for a professional edit next month.

    I’m now around 70,000 words into the edit, so if all goes well I should have the manuscript finished early next week.

    On the reading front, I’ve moved onto the sixth Dungeon Crawler Carl book. I absolutely loved book five, but so far this one isn’t quite grabbing me in the same way.
