The Academy - Second Edition
Hello! Sorry I haven't updated in a while - I tore my rotator cuff, and had to limit my keyboard time for several months. While I am still recovering, I'm back to writing every day.
I wasn't idle during my injury downtime, however. I rewrote my first novel, The Academy, improving voice, dialog and flow, and then paid for a professional edit and proofing. The results are currently available - if you haven't bought it yet due to complaints about typos, then I urge you to give it another shot - that problem is fixed! If you already purchased it (thank you!), then all you need to do is download the new version - or if you have enabled automatic updates on your Kindle, then it should have updated automatically.
I have similarly rewritten The Anathema, and the new text is off with the editor being proofed at the moment. I would expect that to become available as well in the coming weeks.
Enjoy!

The Far Shores Update
The Far Shores is well underway. I plan on submitting the first draft to my editors in November. After they give me their notes, I will make changes and send it on to the proofer. This process usually takes a couple months, all together. I will let y'all know when I have a firm release date, but it shouldn't be too long!
Additionally, I just got the new version of The Anathema back from the proofer, and will review the manuscript this weekend, with the hope of uploading the new version next week. Then I have to wait for Amazon to review and approve the changes, it which point anyone who has previously bought the book will have the option of downloading the new version (or, if you have automatic updates enabled on your Kindle, then it will just happen!).
I have lots more stuff in the works that I'm dying to tell you about, but I'm going to hold off until I get closer to releasing it. Suffice to say I'm super busy with the Central Series, and a some exciting new projects as well!
Cheers!
