Status Update May '22 (Patreon)

Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing exceptional. I wanted to provide some updates on things since it has been a minute.

My wife and I were able to find and close on a new home. It took us a couple of months, but we finally got around to it. However, this home requires a lot of updating. Right now it's a time machine back to the 80's when it was custom built. I spent the last two weeks meeting with contractors, getting quotes on work, purchasing new supplies (flooring, paint, etc), and beginning work. It's going to take about two months before we'll be ready to move in. It's definitely weird to buy a house and not move in right away. Luckily, our apartment lease extends through the end of July, so it actually works well in our favor. Knowing we have a house and will not be stuck in the apartment is an enormous weight off of my shoulders. It obviously brings with it some challenges: we had to replace the furnace, ac, water heater, and install new sump pumps this last week, but it's built on great foundations and will be a magnificent home for us for years to come. Like the saying goes "they just don't build them like they used to."

So where does this leave Warhawk and Aspect 4? I've been working on them here and there while doing the house search, paperwork, and meeting with contractors. Aspect 4 is 80% complete and Warhawk 2 is about 60% complete. Because I missed my deadline of end of May with my editor, her next available slot is in July. So my plan is to finish Aspect 4 in June, Warhawk 2 in July/august. I'll be uploading finished beta chapters of Aspect 4 to Patreon next month and Warhawk 2 soon after, so you all won't have to wait too long to get the rest of the story. With my own delays, this puts Aspect 4's final release in August and Warhawk 2 either in August or September. My hope is that the audiobook's will release ~a month or so after but it depends on Rebecca's schedule since I have had to push things back so much this year.

In Q3-Q4 I'll be starting back up on A Romp Across Iðna with plans to finish the remaining six episodes to conclude season  I'll also begin working on Inn Too Deep or Blackthorn. I'm not sure which one I want to jump in quite yet. I've got a lot of ideas for both, so I hope you all will enjoy those as well. 

That summarizes my current plans for the rest of the year. Again, I apologize for all the delay's this year. It's definitely been a challenge juggling so many projects and real world things but you all have been super fantastic and supportive. I definitely want to make it up to you all. I have a few ideas as thank you's: Some more pin ups, exclusive audio, and some other ideas. If you have any ideas feel free to post them below. 

Again thank you for being awesome supporters. I hope you all have a great rest of your weekend.
