I'm well over 100,000 words now on the rough draft of The Assassin's Skill. I feel like I should win an award or something. The 100,000-word award. I should have this initial draft wrapped up in a day or so. Then the real work--editing--begins.

New story -->🌲⚔️ THE WITHERED WOODS - Two rival mercenary captains vs. one corrupt witch & an ancient noble conspiracy. Dark fantasy where politics meets magic & heroes aren't always heroic. 🎧 youtu.be/E8hMUFRIKJI

It's really hot and humid out today, so I'm staying inside to focus on wrapping up the final big scene in The Assassin's Skill. It's the culmination of the series so far, bringing many storylines to a conclusion. The Nameless Assassin has many more adventures ahead of him!

Coming Monday to my YouTube channel...🌲⚔️ THE WITHERED WOODS - Two rival mercenary captains vs. one corrupt witch & an ancient noble conspiracy. Dark fantasy where politics meets magic & heroes aren't always heroic.

The entire audiobook version of The Assassin's Blade is available on YouTube. This is the first book in the Assassin Without a Name series, in its entirety. It's the same version available to purchase at online retailers. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. youtu.be/2gy7mUizqZ8

The Epic Indie Sale has come to an end. If you jumped in and took advantage of getting your free copy of The Assassin's Blade, The Hall of the Wood, or Engines of Alchemancy, please consider leaving a review on my store. It helps a ton!

The next Tale of the Assassin Without a Name is locked and loaded for my YouTube channel. Look for the new story early Monday morning. When a peaceful evening at the luxurious Gilded Flute is shattered by an ominous crow's call, the Nameless Assassin finds himself drawn into an unlikely alliance.

Great idea!

I'm at 72,000 words on the rough draft of The Assassin's Skill. If I can reach 80,000 by Friday, I should be able to finish the 1st draft in another 2-3 weeks. That would keep me on track for the September 16th release date. I'm making steady progress. 👍👍👍

Unholy Alliance from The Assassin's Cunning is the next story I plan to release on my YouTube channel. I'm wrapping up the final production steps now. Look for it on Monday morning at 9AM CST.

I didn’t realize July 2 was already Independence Day.

I'm delving into the final nuances in The Assassin's Skill. At this stage of the storyline, the situation has become quite intricate, with numerous subplots and characters pursuing their own goals. It's certainly a complex monstrosity, but I'm dedicated to making it as unpredictable as possible.
