Not That Many Updates

We have a release month again, of course, as it’s definitely May by now. Since the release of “The Fourth Reich” is coming up, here is an update from me as to the books which I have written or plan to finish soon or plan to write soon. I have more than enough projects waiting and really need to discipline myself more, so I get them out into the world before I think up even more projects.
It is not that I haven’t written anything — I wrote over 60,000 words last month. It’s just that relatively few of them were part of any official projects. There was a lot of smut, but there was little about Colin (who is now stuck in a manor home in a time loop with a killer…). Yet, I have written a lot, which means I can write a lot. I just need to focus more on the actual projects I have, such as Colin’s stories and the novel “Sword and Dagger” (working title, might become a series title) which I’ve set up to write next and hope to start this month after I finish with Colin.

My current release list:

  • The Fourth Reich (May 2022)
  • The Haunting of Winterthorne Hall (August 2022)
  • The Necromancer’s Notebook (Isadora Goode Vol. 2; November 2022)
  • The Lady of the Dead (February 2023)
  • DI Colin Rook Vol. 1 (May 2023)


My next two projects:

  • Sword and Dagger (novel, might be the start of a new series)
  • John Stanton - Agent of the Crown Vol. 3


My projects are plotted, so all I need to do is to sit down and write them — which is, of course, the longest part of the writing process. Apart from the two projects listed above, I have a long list of other projects which are plotted and ready for writing. Quite some of them are mystery stories, there’s also a few horror stories coming up, and I do hope that I will also get around to continuing the Magpies series — I have ten titles at the ready, yet only one book finished and none more plotted.
I also want to switch as regularly as possible between story collections (such as Colin Rook), novella collections (such as John Stanton or Isadora Goode), and novels (such as this month’s “The Fourth Reich”). I have a lot more novels than other things plotted, though, so I can see myself writing more novels than other stuff in the near future.

I’ve also started to post ‘character dialogues’ on my Facebook Page every day. They’re short dialogues between me and my characters (sometimes, I even win…). If you check my page regularly, that might give you a bit more to read instead of only a few posts a week.

That’s it for the update. I hope it’s been informative. Check my Facebook Page, if you haven’t already. By the end of the month, “The Fourth Reich” will be out, then I can return to writing and finally get Colin out of that time loop.
