Jon Cronshaw – The King of Nobledark
Author of epic fantasy with heart, grit, and moral weight. Where hope bleeds, but never dies.
A slower week thanks to a spring virus. I worked through edits on The Silent Watcher and read Don’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell, a gripping psychological thriller.
This week’s been a quieter one as I’ve been under the weather with a spring virus.
Even so, I’ve been working through the edits for The Silent Watcher, making progress on polishing the manuscript.
I’ve also been doing some reading and picked up Don’t Let Him In by Lisa Jewell, which was a gripping psychological thriller.
Not the most energetic week, but still moving things forward behind the scenes.
Despite a throat infection, I made progress on The Sentinel’s Mercy, wrapped up The Silent Watcher, and prepared for the Punks Versus Zombies launch on August 31. Busy week for the Ravenglass Universe!
This week’s been a bit rough—I’ve been dealing with a throat infection that had me in bed for a few days.
Despite that, I made good progress on The Sentinel’s Mercy (Ravenglass Guardians, Book 2), reaching eight chapters out of a planned 24.
I’ve also finished my final readthrough of The Silent Watcher (Book 1 in the same series). Though I’m calling them Books 1 and 2 for now, the Ravenglass Guardians series will be seven standalone novels, so their final order may shift.
Meanwhile, I’m gearing up for the launch of Punks Versus Zombies on August 31—just a few weeks to go!
This week’s Author Diary is a testament to the challenges and triumphs of the creative process, even when under the weather.
🤒 Battling Illness:
Despite being ill this week, I pressed on with my writing commitments. It’s often difficult to maintain momentum during such times, but staying connected to my projects helps keep my spirits up.
I managed to add about 10,000 words to “Forged in Blood,” the second book in the Guild of Assassins series
📘 Reading Updates:
I wrapped up “Fake Heroes” by Otto English, a compelling read that offers sharp insights into cultural and historical narratives.
Moving on, I’ve started “Vengeful Spirit,” part of the expansive Horus Heresy series. Diving into this new book has been a great way to escape and recuperate, immersing myself in the rich lore of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
📅 Looking Ahead:
As I recover and continue with “Forged in Blood,” I look forward to regaining my full strength and embracing the creative challenges ahead.
Next week, I hope to share more positive updates and perhaps some insights from my journey through the Horus Heresy series.
I’d love to hear about how you cope with setbacks and continue to find inspiration in your projects or readings. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more weekly insights from my author’s life and the perseverance that drives it!
