šŸ“š Podcast Launch, Book Releases & A New Steampunk Adventure | Author Diary – April 11, 2025 āš™ļøšŸ‰

This week I’ve launched my new podcast Speculative Fiction Tales, prepared for the release of Wyvern’s Shadow and Blade of Sorrows, and started writing a new steampunk adventure novel featuring Lord Sidebottom.

This week has been all about juggling projects and getting things ready for some exciting releases.

I’ve been busy preparing my short stories for a new podcast—Speculative Fiction Tales. You can find it on your favourite podcast app or over on my YouTube channel.

I’m also gearing up for the launch of two books next week:
šŸ‰ Wyvern’s Shadow (The Ravenglass Throne Book 2)
āš”ļø Blade of Sorrows (Guild of Assassins Book 3)

On top of that, I’ve started work on a new side project—a steampunk adventure novel featuring Lord Sidebottom.

I’ve written several shorts with this character over the years, and I’m excited to finally have a novel concept that I’m really pleased with.

Lots happening—and plenty more to come!

Announcing: Speculative Fiction Tales by Jon Cronshaw

Speculative Fiction Tales presents haunting narratives by acclaimed author Jon Cronshaw that explore the unsettling intersections of technology and humanity.

In each meticulously crafted episode, Cronshaw’s chilling stories examine how our digital lives are reshaping what it means to be human.

From the subtle horror of social media addiction to the terrifying reality of online radicalization, these tales hold a dark mirror to our screen-obsessed world.

Dive into narratives where memories are commodified, grief is monetized, and identity exists at the mercy of algorithms.

Perfect for fans of “Black Mirror,” psychological thrillers, and thoughtful dystopian fiction, Cronshaw’s stories deliver both entertainment and profound reflection on our digital existence.

Each episode captures that uneasy sensation that our devices might understand us better than we understand ourselves.
