388 - March 2, 2025 - The Chosen One, Hunters, The Ravenglass Throne, Alchemy

This week, I dusted off a project I haven’t touched since May 2023—The Chosen One, a heroic fantasy about a child of prophecy destined to defeat the Dark Lord…except the Dark Lord never came. Now 40, he abandoned his heroic destiny 20 years ago, but fate may have other plans.I also made progress on my Space Western, Hunters, writing a new chapter as I continue expanding that world. This month has been incredibly productive, averaging 5,000 words per weekday, putting me at 100,000 words for the month!On the reading front, I finished Alchemy: The Magic of Original Thinking in a World of Mind-Numbing Conformity, which was inspiring and full of fresh ideas.For audio fans, the audiobook edition of Shattered Kingdom (The Ravenglass Throne: Part One) is now FREE on my Patreon! Visit: patreon.com/joncronshawauthorI’ll be releasing the audio one episode ahead of the retail versions. Speaking of which, Shattered Kingdom is available for pre-order on all major ebook platforms for just 99c/99p, launching on March 12!
