A very belated Happy New Year to you all! I can’t believe January is almost over. I’ve spent most of the month getting things organised so I thought I’d take a moment to talk about how my current projects are going.

I’m getting back into writing a short story a month again this year! This time, instead of fairy tales I thought I’d try something a bit different. It will be an anthology of stories, essays and poems about a pantheon of gods. All the stories should be from different perspectives, but never those of the gods themselves. I think it’s going to be a neat project and can’t wait to see how it turns out. The first story, Creation out of Destruction, will be going up tomorrow.

The book review website that I have been talking about for over a year is reaching completion and should hopefully be going up over the next week or two. I took a long time to think about what I wanted to do with it and how to face a few problems I used to post book reviews on my old blog (please don’t go looking for it) but then I became a published author and eventually realised that I would be posting reviews written by people I know, which could be awkward if I slammed it. Therefore I decided that I’d only upload positive reviews onto the new site, making it more of a recommendation tool rather than a review one. That does allow me to do some fun stuff with it though, which I’ll cover closer to the sites release.

Finally, the Demon Hunters uploads are currently on hiatus. The next few episodes have some cutaway scenes I want to film and I’m having trouble scheduling that. The episodes themselves are also turning out longer than I was expecting so when I start again there’ll be a more staggered release schedule than once a week. Annoyingly, the bulk of the work, recording and editing the reading of the book, is done. It’s just the little additional flourishes around that that is taking so long. But I think those will elevate the whole thing so it has to be done.

That’s enough to be going on with for now. So I’ll see you tomorrow for the release of the new short story.
