January 2025

After the completion of the third book in The Bane of Amstairis trilogy, I began my next novel. I am now delving into the realm of historical fiction with pirates. This new book (title to be determined later) takes place in exactly 1717. It follows a young woman who disguises herself as a man in order to join the Royal Navy and find a notorious pirate captain somewhere out at sea.

I've just started writing chapter 7. The going with this book is slow thanks to the frustration that is Google when you're searching for anything historical. Though there will be a sprinkling of fantasy later in the story, I wanted to make the rest as historically accurate as I could.

On top of appointments and functions, it's difficult to find time to just sit down and write. Hopefully, this next month with see more progress.
