Dear Reader

Sometimes it takes my breath away how much things have changed for Arcane Inkdustries. I just passed the first year of writing this second book. That is after spending 2023 and 2024 working on the first book, and the world of Camriddeon since 2015.

For context, over the course of two years I would normally write around four to eight books. I was focused on shorter, wanting to dive straight into the action. It was so much fun getting straight into the meat of the story for The Lost Heroines and of course with comics.

However, it has been a wonderful wandering through the world of Tir Aileni and this new epic fantasy series. It demands patience and exploration, plumbing deep into the depths of what makes it so unique. I really think you're going to love how everything has come along.

Progress Continues on the writing phase

Book 2 right now is standing strong at around 105,000 words, past the halfway point and moving along wonderfully. We're starting to reach out and begin editorial assessments for book 1.

And we are caught up with all poetry, which means that we've written 46 poems this year!

Want to see more of our works?

We have a Patreon for readers that want deeper immersion in our epic fantasy world. We post our weekly poem roundup, as well as monthly lore and legends from the world. Tomorrow, readers will be able to read the creation of Tir Aileni, and the five gods brought together for this purpose.

Thank you for reading

Thank you again so much for reading. This new chapter in Arcane Inkdustries is far longer than any we have done before. But that is because it is deeper, better, and more rewarding than anything I've ever attempted.

I'm so excited to have you on this journey with us.

Until next time.

Where should I start with Arcane Inkdustries?

The best place to start is with our flagship comic series, Legends of the Realm. Where heroism and villainy depends less on who you are, then who is telling your story.

Camriddeon the mage has just been appointed court mage to the kingdom of Dannisfire. And his first quest from his king is simple: go see your new home. Bring me new magics, and construct a miracle. And so Camriddeon travels far and wide. Seeing the kingdom with fresh eyes. And hoping that this quest will not end in his doom.
