Updates: Mental Health Difficulties, Project Progress

Hi all - I'm sorry I've been quiet regarding updates. As most of you know, I've dealt with life-long chronic mental health issues, and they've been climbing on top of me in recent months.

Quite honestly? I've been struggling to write much, if at all, since about the beginning of April. The reasons why are complex, but it functionally boils down to everyone's favorite friends depression, ADHD and anxiety. As Archemi has progressed and succeeded, my expectations of myself have increased, and I'm having to manage some of those expectations and refocus the course I am taking as I move into the final books in series (Books 6 to 9).

This won't be a permanent thing and I'm functioning as best as I'm able, but please don't be alarmed/concerned if updates continue to be slow for a while longer. I haven't abandoned the series or my career, but I have to take some time to play and rediscover the joy in writing while I sort my head out. Covid specifically and the years between 2015-2021 generally were extremely difficult for me personally, involving the loss of our home and many people, pets and places who were important to me, and some of what is happening is just the 'catch up' of having worked so hard through those difficult times.

Justin Thomas James has finished his narration of the Spear of Destiny audiobook, and now Laurie Catherine Winkel and Jeff Hays are recording their roles as it heads towards the final stages. I don't have a definite month/time for release, but it will definitely be this year.

I'm picking away slowly at Crowned in Black. The novel is fully planned out, and once I'm back on my feet, I will set up the pre-order and focus on it.

Thank you for bearing with me so far, and for all your support to this point. Archemi and Hound of Eden would mean nothing without the support of fans
