📚 Major Milestones & New Entertainment Ventures | Author Diary – April 19, 2024 🎮✨

Dive into this week’s Author Diary where I celebrate completing a significant writing milestone and share my latest entertainment indulgences.

📝 “The Knight and the Rebel” Update:

I’ve reached a pivotal moment this week by finishing the first draft of Ragnar’s POV in “The Knight and the Rebel,” part of the Ravenglass Legends series. It’s always rewarding to complete a major section of a novel, and I’m looking forward to the next phases of revision.

🧟‍♂️ “Punks Versus Zombies” Progress:

In addition to my work on Ravenglass Legends, I’ve written two new episodes of “Punks Versus Zombies.” Over the next few weeks, I’ll be focusing more intensely on this series, aiming to develop and refine these episodes further.

🎥 Watching and Enjoying:

  • Fallout on Amazon Prime: I started watching the new series based on the Fallout video game. It’s been an exciting watch, capturing the essence of the game with a compelling narrative twist.
  • Continuing “The Gentlemen” by Guy Ritchie: I’m nearing the end of “The Gentlemen” on Netflix. This series continues to impress with its clever storytelling and dynamic characters.

📚 Reading Update:

I’m almost finished with “Ferrus Manus,” part of the Warhammer 40k universe. This novel has been a thrilling read, and I’m eager to share my final thoughts on it soon.

As I pivot my focus to “Punks Versus Zombies” while balancing my entertainment interests, I look forward to sharing more updates and insights.
