Dear Reader

It has felt like a year and a half since we spoke last. Summer vacation has hit, and with three daughters in tow, sometimes the days come and go and all you have to show for it are the aches, pains, and ruptured ear drums.

Parenthood is a joy and a struggle. I don't know how many fathers spend as much time with their children at this stage as I do. I've spent almost four years as a stay-at-home parent, with most likely at least another three to go.

Some days are actually as close to an episode of Bluey as you could possibly imagine. Laughter, energetic, and memories to hold on to for a lifetime. Others feel like a slow acid bath being poured into your ears. Even when your children are doing everything right for this stage in life, it can feel a constant struggle.

I haven't been able to really write this week. Looking towards the rest of this summer, I honestly don't know how often I'll be able to write, period.

And I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Life is happening all around me. It is chaotic, and messy, and challenging. The kids don't do what they're told, demand attention, and all they give in return are hugs and kisses. It is a wondrous thing that the written word is inspired by.

The writing will continue. And it will be inspired.

How are the books coming along?

While we have slowed, there are some books that are progressing.

Agents queried for God Street: 4

Book 2 of Innkeeper's Dirge: 38,324

The Flight of the Winged Wolf: 5,789

Dead by the Book

​

I didn't ask for a destiny.

Especially one that says that I'm supposed to destroy every god in existence.

It made the name William Creed a curse. Made me turn tail and run from the only home I knew. Left my friend, my favorite ghost, and hoped that the gods would just forget about me.

But now I'm back. Chasing the one good paycheck I've seen in years. Chasing some kid who's in way over his head, searching for a book that could break reality.

I'll have to take on dragons, the undead, a whole cosmos of deities, and my own mother.

Welcome to God Street. Where miracles become realities.
