This is where I keep a running commentary on all my works in progress.
AUGUST 2026: Happy Birthday to me!
Hound of the Gods Book Two – The Hands That Feed – is completely done, formatted, and cover finished. Released AUGUST 14th, 2026 – a full three months early! Go BUY IT !
The THIRD Book Mad Dog Mean (MDM), is all but done! I got the finalized cover art already! WAY ahead of schedule, but I’m going to hold off releasing it until winter at the earliest.
Between book 3 and Book 4 (working title, Kicking a Dead Dog) I am writing a prequel called Hound (the origin story of Drustan). I am also writing some short stories at my leisure and which will be published whenever I freaking feel like it. But the stories will happen. I have three short story Anthologies planned for this universe and my hope is that they will be fun, bonus published reading at random times before the nine book series is completed.
Novella 3.5 is titled Trapped in a Dog’s Year which takes place directly in between book three and book four and is all about Frank, Sarah, and Freki. It’s in developmental edits already and will be released after Mad Dog Mean and before the prequel Hound!

For those paying attention, I’ve got three published short stories and a horror anthology published in 2025, my first novel released in March, 2026, my SECOND novel released in August, 2026, and a third novel that might get out by Winter holiday season. That leaves (hopefully) a novella, a prequel, and book four aiming for a 2027 release.
I keep much better records and updates in my newsletter. Feel free to join up or email me. I personally answer every email I get – Promise!
