The sequel to The Tattered Banner is back from the editor, so most of my effort is going into working through the changes on that. Still on track for my intended release window (it’s a large one!) and I’m starting to think about cover design. Usually I have a pretty clear idea of what direction I want to go in, but not the case this time around! Not yet anyway!
I’m also spending a bit of time each day working on the final part of the Society of the Sword trilogy, which is between drafts 1 and 2, as there’s a subplot that I want to develop before I go back through the entire manuscript. I’m keeping time free to do this every day, as I like the continuity that I get by working on Book 2 at the same time. It’s only tidying up and polishing for Book 2 at this point, but I find it helps with keeping the tone consistent, rather than working on them in isolation.
That’s all for today. I hope everyone’s enjoying their summer!
Let us know when you have a harder release date!

Thanks for the interest! It will certainly be out before Christmas, but I’m afraid I can’t be any more specific than that right now. The editing process always takes a bit longer than I’d like!
