Where have I been? Focused on getting another novel out the door.

My book "The Rising World Company" is out! This is a sequel to "Rising World", the story of a modern engineering student who's sent to a fantasy world and becomes an inventor. He uses magic crystals for steampunk engines, and researches airships and machine tools along with spells.
This sequel let Vonn go on some longer trips and begin having a larger influence, along with picking up from last book's cliffhanger. It was humbling to notice at the end that I'd used the word "just" over 300 times and most could be cut easily! Had some fun trying to work a "Wavebound" cameo into there. Something challenging during the revision was how to add some more action to the final chapters.
You can also find the optional side-story "The Purpose of Wings" at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X6K7T7F/.
What's next? I haven't done short stories in a while. I began poking at a "Wavebound" book 7 but would like to try something short before getting heavily into that. Something in the Tales world, maybe? That was something that grew out of "Friendship Is Optimal".
