Rogue's Gambit Limited Edition Hardcover coming soon!
Well so far its been a slow start to writing in 2025. I've had a busy start to the year organising things with my house - first a leak, then sinking floorboards, and now a new coat of paint needed on the roof! Never seems to end xD If I didn't love my little piece of NZ so much I might not think it was worth the hassle! But I also like to see the place getting just a little bit better each year, a little bit nicer. After the painting is done I plan to put solar panels up in February to continue the improvements :D
All that is to say, work on the next book in the Trials of the Aegis hasn't so much progressed as hit a brick wall. But fear not! I plan to push on now and start getting the outline for King's Wrath (working title :-p) on the digital paper this week and then onwards to the first draft!
But there is some better news! In the next couple weeks I plan on launching the special hardcover edition of Rogue's Gambit on Kickstarter! Like the first book Warden's Justice, this will be a limited edition hardcover of Rogue's Gambit that will only be available through Kickstarter. It will include special chapter headings and images depicting scenes throughout the book, as well as a list of all the amazing people who backed the project. It might even include a bonus chapter or two that I've been mulling over :D
And of course the early birds will get a discount on these amazing books, so be sure to follow the prelaunch of the campaign to have the best chance of securing your earlybird copy!!!
Alright that's it from me, hope you're all enjoying a quiet and rewarding January.
Write on!
