My Musings
Last weekend was Comic Con Revolution in Ontario, California. This was my last planned show for the year and I had a blast! I wouldn't mind attending two or three more, especially in the Autumn, but for the foreseeable future my focus is on finishing Mechhaven Book 5: By Archangel's Light. As you'll see in my Mechhaven Missives, I've been making pretty good progress, but first some highlights.
My wife and sons attended CCR as well. They watched over my table whenever I needed bathroom breaks or wanted to check out Artists Alley and the Exhibitor room. They made several sales while I was away, so I rushed back to sign copies for people who bought my books.
One highlight of my weekend was when Badical Radness (YouTuber/Instagrammer) who I'd learned about through the Geek Off The Street Podcast, bought all four of my books! I appreciate his support!
More next time when I highlight and review some of the cool books and comics I picked up!
Mechhaven Missives
- 50,000 words! It's been a long time coming, but my push over the last two months has paid off. I can say that I am now 50% complete with the first draft of By Archangel's Light. I hit just over 12,000 words in April and I'm already over 13,000 words in May. With seven more days left in the month, I'm hoping to squeeze out a few thousand more words. At my current pace, I should wrap up the first draft by mid-August (maybe sooner if I push). I'm hoping to release the book by the end of 2024...it's going to be close, but I think I can do it!

(Aetherial Empires Prequel)
by
Dylan McFadyen
Two empires fight an endless war to dominate the stars. One man is caught in the middle.
It’s a beautiful day on the planet Thisia. The sort of day Zhan Marcus hates.
Fourteen years, Marcus has served in His Sovereign Majesty’s Army—fighting for the Empire of Rozhon, the world at the center of the human universe. A world he’s never seen.
He has been to dozens of worlds like this one, fighting the brutal Kyűszai, a foe whose arcane technology is fueled by the suffering and death of human captives. Marcus has lost countless men in that endless fight—sacrificed his own blood, his youth, and his faith.

Waldo Rodriguez
From the ashes of a dying world, a god will rise.
As an out of shape nerd, Gabriel Rivera had more pressing issues than outlandish things like godhood: Evacuating the city, joining the military, and protecting his family. Simple right?
Everything changed when the PAC invaded.
When the grim fate of his world is revealed, Gabriel joins the Reclaimer Project to save his family. A lowly F ranker, he’s weaker than even the worst recruits. Good thing he’s too stubborn for his own good.
by
Brian Mendonça
As torn petals of a rose fall, a hero must rise in a race against destiny.
What starts as a fairy tale rescue spirals into an intricate web of dark fantasy laced with intrigue and magic. After the downtrodden merchant Kaine saves the runaway Princess Lydia from an unexpected monster, he feels inexplicably drawn to her. Lydia’s uncanny knowledge of his deepest secrets looms over him, suggesting she knows more about him than he has revealed.
However, there is little time to investigate this mystery. The princess is betrothed to the magic wielding Throatian Kingdom, and Lydia’s father has rewarded Kaine with a job offer he cannot refuse.
