Coming Soon
Here's a little look ahead towards my upcoming projects that are still in the works. I will endeavour to update this page regularly as things progress on these books.
You may be here looking for a sequel to The Outside. See item 2. Rest assured, I'm working on it!

Divine Artistry
Yasuo has never cared much for the spiritual aspects of his job as a divine artist at a shrine sacred to the Aitenu, the great guardian spirits of the land. He’s just there to paint. But when his teacher — the shrine’s master artist — steals the sacred artwork, causing the earth to shake and hail to fall from a clear sky, he seizes the chance to make his name and escape a life of administrative drudgery.
Armed with only a paint brush and the vague clues left by his master, Yasuo sets off into the wilderness to find the seven sacred pigments needed to recreate the stolen artwork. However, when a strange, one-armed young woman repeatedly saves his life from the spirits that lie in wait for him at every turn, he must decide whether he is on the right path, or whether the Aitenu themselves are the ones trying to stop him.
Progress: 4th draft, proofreading and formatting complete!

Far and Further Out*

This is the much demanded sequel to The Outside. I'm not going to give you any sort of blurb here in case you haven't read The Outside yet. Go read that. Please? Then you have my permission to pester me about this one.
Progress: 1st draft, 60% complete.

Set in the crumbling later year of the Lightning Empire, this duology follows four individuals as their lives intertwine while the empire faces up to the wrath of the one who should have been their protector, the Lady of the Last Light.
Progress: 1st draft, 100% complete.

Divine Artistry Sequels
Divine Artistry (see above) is set to be the first in a trilogy. Once the first book is polished and the sequel to The Outside wrapped up, I'll start work on these.
