Road Notes

"Welcome to the Road Notes — raw dispatches from the long road. Here I’ll share where we are in the journey: editing updates, early chapter teases, character thoughts, cover reveals, and whatever else comes up along the way. No polished press releases. Just the truth of the work."

Road Note – April 7, 2026

Book 1: The Arrival is officially in professional line editing with BookBaby. We’re tightening prose, polishing rhythm, and making sure the mythic voice of Painkiller and Zeus stays cinematic without ever losing the grounded pain of Maria, Kara, and the kids.

Target release window: Late 2026. The long road is moving — slower than I’d like, but steady.
