Initial reactions from Threadborn Succession’s beta readers have been incredibly positive. As a new fiction author, I still have no idea how to feel about the reception Book One has gotten, and now Book Two is poised to raise the bar another notch.


Book Two will be headed to my editor, Tina Beier, in mid‑August 2026 and to my narrator, Casey Wayne, shortly after. The second installment of the trilogy expands on the base cast and adds one new protagonist. No spoilers here, but I will say that Harper’s daughter, Emma, plays a critical role in how this dual‑timeline adventure continues to unfold.


Now I am deep into Book Three, Threadborn Covenant. I am three chapters in and have pretty much stopped, restarted, ripped it apart, and started again. I honestly thought that if I continued the character arcs and followed the outline I committed to when I decided this would be a trilogy, the finale would practically write itself. Wrong. Book Two’s ending and the place I need to land this whole saga are proving much harder than I expected.


With more than a dozen characters, layers of tech evolution, and canon rules to respect, I have found myself building a small Book One and Book Two wiki to keep everything true to the world and avoid characters suddenly acting out of character for no good reason.

My mom has already asked me several times how I plan to end the trilogy. So far, she is happy with the answer I give her, which is a good sign.


What keeps me encouraged are the generous reviews so far and the fact that I was smart enough, with Book Three, not to lock myself into a specific release date.


I will wrap this up by saying thank you to all my readers and supporters. It has been quite a ride, and we are not done yet.
