367 - October 6, 2024 - Seven year podcast anniversary!

Join me in this week’s Author Diary as we celebrate a significant milestone, delve into current projects, and look forward to an exciting event. 🎉 7th Anniversary of the Author Diary Podcast: This week marks the seventh anniversary of my Author Diary podcast. It's been a wonderful journey of sharing insights, challenges, and triumphs from my writing life. I've enjoyed connecting with all of you, and I'm grateful for your continued support. 📖 Current Writing and Reading: I've been making steady progress on "Forged in Blood," the latest installment in the Guild of Assassins series. Writing this book has been an intricate process, weaving complex characters and dark themes into the narrative fabric. Alongside writing, I've been immersed in "Vengeful Spirit" from the Horus Heresy series, a gripping tale that complements the intense and dramatic tone of my own work. 👥 Reader Interaction: In this special anniversary episode, I took the opportunity to answer some reader questions. 🏰 Prepping for Fantasycon: Looking ahead, I'm thrilled to be attending Fantasycon next weekend. I’ll be participating in four panels discussing topics ranging from rogues and grimdark to post-apocalyptic fiction and the portrayal of disability beyond the trope of 'superpower.' As I prepare for the convention, I'm excited to meet many of you there, share insights, and explore the diverse and dynamic world of fantasy literature. Stay tuned for updates from Fantasycon and more adventures from the writing desk! I’d love to hear your thoughts on podcast milestones, your experiences with fantasy conventions, or any questions you might have about writing and reading. Don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more weekly insights and updates from my author's journey!
