Hey all! Brian here with what I hope will be the first of my monthly updates as I get back into the swing of things. As you all know it’s been four long years since my last full-length novel, IN THE SHADOW OF LIGHTNING. That’s pretty much an eternity in modern publishing terms. I’ve had health problems, a death in the family, and creative struggles. That being said, I just handed in final edits for Book 2 with only copy edits left to go. Things are looking great - it has a title and a release date but I haven’t been given permission to share those yet, so here’s what else is up:

Most Recent Published Work: Mr. Styke, a Powder Mage Novella

What I’m working on: Book 3 of Glass Immortals. I’ve also got a long-term side project in front of my agent right now - a science-fantasy I’m calling Skyheart Renegades.

What I’m doing: Building the Alchemist Shop from Lego’s Bricklink series.

What I’m cooking: I hosted a family and friends party for the 4th and smoked a pork shoulder.

What I’m playing: Oxygen Not Included by myself, Subnautica 2 with friends.

What I’m reading: I’m on book seven of Dorohedoro. Not normally a manga fan but loved the anime so much I wanted to give it a go.

What am I watching: Season 21 of Taskmaster. He’s so famous! Also watching back episodes of the Harry Hill Show on Youtube. I’m a huge lover of British comedy and Harry is a new discovery for me.

Where I’ll be: Dragonsteel! December 3-5 in Salt Lake City, Utah

Where I am: Instagram * Bluesky * Discord
