January 9, 2021

Happy New Year to all my readers.  I hope a new calendar gives us a fresh lease on life.  I have been working on Divided We Fall off and on late in December, with it sitting about 30% complete as I write this.  I know it is taking longer than usual to come out with this last chapter of the series, but I want to make it right.  The four previous drafts of the book didn't feel like they really fit, but I have taken the best bits from all those iterations so I can repurposed them in this final draft.  I am very happy with the way the Prologue sets up the story now, one of my biggest issues with the other drafts, and the way the first few chapters begin to build the urgency of the story much faster than the others did.  All in all, this version of the book is by far superior, and I hope it shows in the finished product how much care I put in to make this the best finale I could. 

I am still shooting for a mid to late March release, and that gives me roughly a month and a week to write the entire book.  Now don't hold me to it, because I have overshot my deadlines before.  I am setting this goal, however, so I can hopefully have copies available for the Saskatoon Comic Con, if it is able to be open as we all want it to.  Until I am notified differently, I will assume it is a go and do my best to have this story in the hands of my editor by early February.

Here's hoping!

About the Author
I am a science fiction fan; always have been.  The first novel I ever read was War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, and from there I was hooked.  I love everything about the genre, as it reaches many different areas and has the MOST passionate fans. 

It took a lot for me to find the part of me that wanted to write, and the life I built for myself still has a hard time figuring out that I am actually doing this.  With the launch of the first novel - Rise of Aen - I wasn't sure this was something I would continue, but the response and praise from all the readers inspired me to keep writing.

I am an everyday regular guy.  A lover of comics, video games, movies, and great stories.  I look forward to being a regular over the years at the Western Canadian Comic-Cons, to both enjoy the festivities and offer my novels to those interested. 

So if you see my booth, stop in to chat.  And if you wish to know what is happening with the status of my upcoming books, follow me on Facebook.  Thank you all again for your support!!
