Earlier this month, I had a bit of an unexpected road block that’s interfered with my writing schedule a bit. As many of you may know, I deal with a number of chronic health conditions and a few weeks ago, I had to undergo a bit of an unexpected dental surgery. Though it’s been a slow recovery, as of this week, I’ve been feeling a bit better and able to get back into some writing work. That being said, I’m going to have to make some adjustments to my publishing schedule for this year.
First up, Heart of Hope will actually be releasing a little bit early at the end of this year, to allow me to give myself a little more much needed space & room to continue working on the rest of the Tales of Kelnore series. Heart of Hope’s new release date will be November 25th, 2025. The manuscript is getting sent off for its first round of professional edits next month and I anticipate that pre-orders at major retailers will be coming sometime this summer (though you can pre-order the eBook now through my online bookstore).
The next book in the Tales of Kelnore series, The Deceiver, will be releasing on March 17th, 2026. Similar to The Princess, The Deceiver is a large, complex, and challenging story and with the bit of time I’ve lost with this surgery, I want to make sure I’m giving y’all the best book I can. I am also actively working on drafting the third and final book in the trilogy, The Imposter, and hope to be able to release that in 2026 or 2027.
As always, a huge thanks to y’all for your continuing support, and I’m crossing my fingers and toes with a nice, quiet summer with lots of writing time so that I can bring y’all more stories!
