Back on Form: Four of Swords, Guild of Assassins, and Project Hail Mary | Author Diary, April 10, 2026

Feeling better after a month of illness. Progress on Four of Swords and Guild of Assassins Book 4. Also saw Project Hail Mary at the cinema—thoroughly enjoyed it.

This week I’m finally feeling better after a month of illness, which means a welcome return to proper momentum.

I’ve been working on Four of Swords and also going back over my progress on Guild of Assassins Book 4, getting a clearer sense of where that story is heading.

I also went to see the film adaptation of Project Hail Mary, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It’s well worth a watch if you liked the book.

A much more positive and productive week all round.
