Today, I've got three small but exciting updates for y'all. 

First, in light of my first book, Crown of Madness, being in the running for 2022's SPFBO book competition, I am "trying" to work on getting the third Grim Hunt book out faster for everyone! I cannot guarantee anything, but I am looking to see if it would be possible for the third book to come out before January 2023. I'll see what happens with my efforts, and I'll inform everyone on this in a future update as to when book three's official release will be. 

Second, the next draft of book four is complete!! I am so excited to see my work coming along at such an incredible pace! I do not have an official (or even a vague) release date set for this book, but just know that it is nearing its final stages to completion! 

Lastly, I am about halfway through writing the fifth and final book of the Grim Hunt!! Now, I must admit that I had already written a decent amount in chunks here and there over the past few months when I had less writing time in an attempt to work ahead, but nevertheless, the book's first draft is "about" half complete. And for those who are disappointed because they didn't get a copy of Mystical Genesis before I made the difficult choice of unpublishing it, don't worry, it will play a major role in this final book in the series with developing Nicolette's prelude-history and her motivations for her goals and character arc in this fifth book! 

Updates aside, I hope everyone is enjoying books one and two! Though I am proud of Crown of Madness, I truly had an absolute blast writing Binding of Souls (which might be turning out to be my personal favorite of the series, though all of the books are still great)! Binding of Souls was difficult to write, and I had to rewrite many portions of it, but I think it is an absolute masterpiece, and I don't care if I'm biased about it! 

Anyways, with that, I'll leave you all until my next update! 

Happy Reading!
