Time-Marked Warlock + Writing Update [12/4/2023]

Hey peeps!

Over the weekend, I worked on the edits for the Besitary. I have great news! The last steps are finally happening. The final book is always here!!!

The final Besitary has 78 images (not counting the special chapter headers) and it's almost 260k words long. It's a big chonk of a book. Knightmare Arcanist and Dread Pirate Arcanist were changed a bit during editing, to add a few minor scenes, and also tweak things.

The Bestiary has 61 creatures (to make sure I got 60+ in there) with some never seen in the books (I've just planned on putting them in there at some point) but also all 12 of the god-creatures.

TIME-MARKED WARLOCK

So, I really love this book. The cover, up above, may or may not be the final one. I might try one more time to find a cover I super love. This one is fine, it's just not my favorite...

ANYWAY, here is the potential blurb:

Adair Finch is the most powerful warlock in the world, and one of the best private investigators. He only ever lost one case, but it was the case where he lost his brother…

So Finch retired. From magic. From PI work. From everything.

Bree Blackstone, a twelve-year-old witch, doesn’t know or care about any of that. Her mother had instructed her that if anything bad ever happened, she should immediately seek out the Finch brothers. They would fix everything—they always did.

So, in the middle of the night, Bree bangs on Finch’s door. There’s been a murder. Her mother, a powerful witch, was killed inside her own home, and now the murderer is after Bree as well.

Reluctantly, Finch agrees to help, only to discover that something sinister is brewing in town… He’ll need to dust off all his old skills and magic before it’s too late.

Hopefully some of you remember when I posted it here?

I'm almost done with the sequel. I even have a cover for that, too.

Brian Wiggins said he would do the audio, so it's literally all set up for me to release. Now I'm looking for ARC readers, so I can have a bunch of release-day reviews. If, for whatever reason you didn't read it here, and you still want to, I have a sign up sheet for ARC readers:

THE NEXUS FINALE

I've been writing this bad boy as well! Expect chapters soon, along with the special hard cover edition artwork... I think it'll be so cool.

SHORT STORY

So, you're going to get one more Christmas short story (hopefully you guys liked the last) with the same characters, PLUS two more of Astra Academy. I'm trying to work my way through the edits now, so you should have them soon. Please prepare yourself!

That's it for right now!

Gigi has her appointment the 6th for the last stage of the surgery. Wish us luck!

And thank you all again. Your support means the world!
