New art, new book, for a new year

A Happy belated New Year
Last year was crazy. The craziest one yet. And I wrote some reflections on my website, if you are interested in learning more...
But here's the TLDR version:
- The audio side of my business grew enormously
- The Kickstarter was a big success
- I finished my second series
- And I've got lots of plans
I hope your year is off to a great start. I'm not sure where January went, but it was busy. I've been buckled down, wrapping up all the finishing touches on the Shadow Watch Special Edition, and writing a brand new story.
New story
Just hit the 10k word mark on a brand new book in a brand new dragon fantasy series. Working title is Children of the Gods. It's coming along really well so far, and I am aiming to have a draft done by the end of May.
Many of you have been asking for more in the Shadow Watch universe, and this is the first of at least two more series set in that universe.
This one centers on a different world, and will explore the ancient origins of Watchers and the Elyan Empire. It won't share any characters, but dives more deeply into some of the lore, which is already really fun!
New art
Super excited about these new illustrations, fresh off the press! We're waiting on one last one, which is in progress, and then, the Shadow Watch Illustrated Edition heads to the printer.
Merri's Last Stand - by Andrew Maleski
Tori and the Chancellor - by Sutthiwat Dechakamphu
You can still pre-order a copy over at the Late Backer store before we send it off to the printer.
I've got a huge favor to ask
Last year, I pulled the Shadow Watch audiobooks out of Amazon exclusivity, in order to make them available as widely as possible. Unfortunately, in the process, Amazon took down all the old reviews from Audible.
If you enjoyed the Shadow Watch audiobooks on Audible, I'd be hugely grateful if you took a moment to share a one or two sentence review on Audible.
