Welcome back!
I've been bad at my monthly updates so I thought maybe a bi-yearly update was in order.
To start things off I want to go through what I've released this year so far and what I plan to release this year.
Jan - I released Nothing
Feb - Path of the Titans Book 1
Mar - Path of the Titans Book 2
April - Nothing
May - Path of the Titans Book 3, Nexus Guardian Book 3, and Eldritch Knight Book 2
June - Nothing
July - Nothing
August - Arcane Knight Book 6
Sep - Nothing
Oct - Nothing
Nov - Dragonstone Academy Book 1
Dec - Nothing
As you can see the schedule changed a fair bit, but I'm doing the best I can to get you well written books in a timely fashion.
So far I've finished up three series (All Trilogies with enough story left open to revisit at another time), with Arcane Knight set to be finished this year as well.
1. Last Born of Ki'darth, my scifi setting LitRPG with a very scifi/fantasy story being told within that setting, feature a heroic MC and epic discovery of a found family.
2. Nexus Guardian, my anti-hero sarcastic MC with a sidekick character that will bring you many laughs. This story is the one I'm least happy with how it turned out and a part of me wants to revisit it to flesh out the last book some more, but for now it is done as is.
3. Path of the Titans, a Heroic Fantasy journey that takes an unexpecting turn half way through his journey. There are great friendships and many wonderful characters to meet along the way.
On another note, I've been going to various Comic Cons and selling paperbacks to folks in the Kansas and Missouri area. This has been a really fun experience for not only me, but my family, my two kiddos and my wife tag along for the fun experiences. I even got a chance to be on a few panels at my latest Comic Con, Tremendicon.
I am grateful to the many other creatives that I got to meet at the Comic Con and can't wait to meet more as time goes by.
What is coming up next?
I've currently have several ideas on my mind and plans for upcoming series. Obviously Dragonstone Academy (Title subject to change) will be my next big series that I'll put time into, but that will likely only take me into the first part of next year. So it begs the question, what is next after that?
To be honest I'm not exactly sure just yet. I have several stories in my mind that are begging to get out, not the least of which are Eldritch Knight Book 3 and Journey to Crystal Mountain book 3(My Middle Grade LitRPG trilogy).
Then I have some more stories that will need to come next but one of which is still top secret, but another, Fall of Haldread, is not. I've long wanted to write a fantasy sword and sorcery one off story, the kind of thick book you can sink into and enjoy without having to worry about sequel's or long drawn out series. It goes against all I've learned as an author, series being king for sales and repeat buyers, but I will do it regardless, just unsure when.
I'm beginning to ramble but it is sufficient to say that I have many many stories that I want to write, so that won't be a problem in the near future.
To tie everything off, I was wanted to say I am grateful to all of you that read my books and enable me to do this fulltime. It has been a dream of mine all my life and some days I can't believe I'm actually doing it. Despite the many struggles that I'm going through, I wouldn't change this for all the money in the world. Living the dream. Thank you again and until next time!

p.s. I'll try to write an update more than every six months, but no promises, as I get very busy and lost in the work.
p.s.s. All my audiobooks are wonderfully done, but check out Path of the Titans Book 1 for an amazingly awesome audio performance.
