It’s October 2017.

Legends of Eifalia is moving along smoothly. The next draft is nearing its conclusion. I should have this done in a few weeks. I hope to have the entire thing finished for editorial review before the new year. My 2018 release is looking more likely at this rate.

My short stories came back from the editor, and one of them I’ll send out to magazines this month. I’m genuinely impressed by one of them, so hopefully, my debut will come soon. I’m just as excited as all of you to release my debut short story to the world.

Anyway, that’s all I have to say. See you next month for another status update. Take care and remember, the inn is always open.
