Jon Cronshaw – The King of Nobledark
Author of epic fantasy with heart, grit, and moral weight. Where hope bleeds, but never dies.
Finished Three of Swords, made progress on Guild of Assassins Book 4, and started the second Dungeon Crawler Carl. A busy and productive week of writing and reading.
This week, I wrapped up Three of Swords (The Ravenglass Chronicles, Part 24)and moved straight onto writing a few chapters of Guild of Assassins Book 4.
It’s been great shifting gears between projects while keeping the momentum going.
On the reading front, I’ve jumped into the second Dungeon Crawler Carl book, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the ride so far. Safe to say, the series has me hooked.
A productive week all round—on the page and off it.
Back to writing after the holidays! Updates on Guild of Assassins 4, Ravenglass Guardians 3, a Patreon vote, and January releases including Broken Wings and a new Ravenglass Throne boxed set. Plus audiobook news!
