Seven of Swords Finished & Starting The Waywarden | Author Diary, September 25, 2026

This week, I finished Seven of Swords and sent the completed draft off to my editor.

With that one done, I’ve started work on a new novella set in the Ravenglass Universe called The Waywarden. It’s a nobledark ranger story set on the border between Ostreich and Molotok, and I talk about the story and its place in the wider world.

I also did something completely different this week. I went gliding in an unpowered aircraft with Galloway’s, a local charity supporting blind and visually impaired people. It was a fantastic experience, and I talk about what it was like getting up into the air without an engine.

Plus, the usual thoughts on writing, storytelling and life as an indie author.
