Starting Four of Swords, Revisiting The Good Place, and New Thriller Ideas | Author Diary, February 27, 2026

Started writing Four of Swords, re-watching The Good Place, and developing a new thriller inspired by Influenced. Plus thoughts on hitting a reading lull with Dungeon Crawler Carl.

This week I’ve started work on Four of Swords as I continue with The Ravenglass Chronicles.

It’s always exciting to begin a new instalment and see where the story leads next.

I’ve also begun re-watching The Good Place with my son, which has been a lot of fun revisiting together.

On the reading front, I talk about flagging a little with Dungeon Crawler Carl—still enjoyable, but I may take a short break before continuing.

I’ve also been developing a new psychological thriller, inspired by one of my short stories from Influenced, and exploring where that idea might lead.

📦 Admin Week & Prepping Releases | Author Diary – May 16, 2025 📝✨

This week, I focused on admin tasks ahead of Severed Bonds (Ravenglass Throne Part 3) launching May 19, and the Patreon audio release of Book 4. Looking forward to getting back to writing soon!

This week’s been all about the behind-the-scenes work—the less glamorous side of being an author. I’ve been deep in admin, getting everything in place for the release of Severed Bonds (The Ravenglass Throne, Part Three) on May 19, and preparing the audio edition of Book 4 for my Patreon supporters.

It’s been a week of formatting, uploading, scheduling, and ticking boxes—but not much creative work. I’m itching to get back to actual writing and into the worlds that excite me.

Thanks for bearing with me during the admin grind—stories are coming soon!
