A Big Format Change
After much deliberation, I’ve decided to change the way my novel is going to be released. Instead of one large, single volume, it will be split into two books. There are many reasons for this decision, but mainly because:
At 190,000 words (650+ pages), it’s quite long, which might be daunting for some readers.
Printing and shipping such a hefty tome, even in paperback, is an expensive endeavour.
Stay tuned! I’ll be releasing the full titles of both books soon. 🙂
The Final Edit!
Okay…it’s official. The professional edit of ‘The Blackwater Prince’ is underway, courtesy of Leschenault Press.
I’m eagerly awaiting their feedback, but having a professional examine my prose in detail…scary!
Work on the cover will begin soon as well…exciting times ahead.

Publishing Announcement
As you all know, the road to publishing my debut novel has been a long one with a few bumps along the way. However, I am now pleased to announce I’ve signed with a new publisher, Leschenault Press to assist me with publishing The Blackwater Prince under their Book Reality imprint.
Watch this space for updates as the publishing process progresses over the next few months and continue to join me on my journey to being a published author.
UPDATE
It’s been a while since my last post, and I apologise for that. There were issues with my publisher (which I won’t go into here) that have caused them to go into liquidation.
Unfortunately, this bad news means I will either have to find a new publisher, which may take some time, or soldier on and self-publish. While self-publishing is not ideal, I have learned quite a bit about it in the past few months, so it's definitely a viable option.
My plan is still to publish The Blackwater Prince in 2025, it’s just the timing may change as I have to decide on the path I'll follow. I sincerely hope you will stick around and continue to follow my journey to becoming a published author.
Onward and upward.
