It’s been a very exciting month. Things have been going very well over here at Grim Archer Media. I think I say that every time, but it’s actually true. I’m just very glad that the projects I’m working on are progressing.

First off, I can tell you that I now have two title names to reveal to you.

The first one is I have decided on a name for the sequel to The Fixer and it’s going to be called The Shooter. It’s a really fun, exciting book. I’m working on it right now and I’m going to start the fourth draft here in a few minutes. I’m very pleased with how this story has come together. It’s really been just kind of gluing together for me. And so I should hopefully have more updates on that soon. Kirk Hoffman is returning and you will also see the most of the—all the characters on his team as well. They’re all returning. And I’m not going to say much more about it than that, but very exciting. I’m really liking the title. It’s a very simple title, but I think it’s really going to fit the book quite well. So more on that to come.

The next thing I have to announce to you is the title of the YA fantasy novel that I worked on for a little bit last year and I’m finishing up this year. It’s going to be called Malcolm Braxton and the Dragon War. Very excited about this as well. I have an artist right now who’s working on a map for the novel to put together some geography. And so that’s coming along really well. I hope to have that novel out here in the next few months. Those two project are really what’s been taking the majority of my time.

Thank you all for reading and supporting! The Wild Card has been doing great. The Rat’s Nest, that’s also been doing awesome and Hard Lines that’s also been doing very well as well. Thank you all for reading and tuning in and I hope everybody has a great week!

It has been a busy month, but it’s also been a very good month. I’ve got a lot of things done I just finished the first draft of the next Kirk Hoffman novel. I’m really pleased with how it’s come coming along. It’s going to be a fun ride. I think it’s one that everybody will enjoy. Kirk Hoffman is back, and the story picks up when he is in southern Utah. So anyhow, more to come on that.

Things have been going very well otherwise. I’m going to step away from the Kirk Hoffman novel here for a couple of days to work on the fantasy novel that I’ve been talking about now for over a year. It was just a year ago that I finished it. And I’ve been distracted writing thrillers and legal thrillers so that I’ve been too distracted to get back to it anyhow. I should be hopefully finishing that and getting it sent off for copyediting here in the next few days I don’t know an exact time frame, but it should go pretty quick. That is pretty much all I have by way of updates. And today I have chapter two now of Only The Guilty.

Things have been going very well over here at Grim Archer Media. December was a very busy month for me, so I was unable to put a writing update out last month, but I was actually doing mostly publishing last month, so there wasn’t a lot to report about last month.

Last month I did publish three novels, I published Hard Lines, the next Jason Maxfield novel, and then after that, The Rat’s Nest, the next Audrey Spencer novel, and then finally the Wild Card, the next Mitch Turner novel. So that’s pretty much a full year’s worth of writing dropping all at once.

Part of the reason why I did that was because I kind of got a little bit behind on hard lines. It was my intention to publish it last summer, and that didn’t quite work out. I kind of ran out of time and events overcame me. Now, I did have one other novel I wrote early last year, a short Ya fantasy novel.

I did a revision of that last week. I’m hoping to get that out here in the next little bit. I have a title for the novel, but I’m not yet ready to announce that. I’m going to mull it over and make sure I’m really happy with the title. I am currently working on a sequel to The Fixer, the next Kirk Hoffman novel. It’s going really well. I’m about four to eight percent of the way through the first draft. I anticipate finishing the first draft here over the next month to month and a half, and then after that, the subsequent revisions usually go a lot faster.

Finally, the audiobook for Only the Guilty. It’s done. Eric Dove is back, and he’s done a fantastic job with the narration. I’m looking forward to, that being out here in officially, it should be done. It’s my side of it is all done. It’s just now audible, taking its time to review the technical requirements, make sure it fits all that, and then it should be published here within the next few days or the next week or two. that’s pretty much it for writing updates. But I do have another chapter of the second option audiobook.
