    It has been quite some time since anyone has heard from Crystal and me. I wanted to briefly interrupt the silence let those fans left know that they will soon be able to complete their 'Royal Guard Trilogy' physical collection.

    Secrets Hardcovers Wave 2 Update

    Hi all!

    We have the hard covers here at the house. Due to some unexpected work travel I haven't had the chance to get to them. Crystal and I are going to clear some time out tonight to get them signed and packaged. I hope to actually have them out the door tomorrow or Monday.

    Thank you for your patience!

    Cleaning out the game room: Free/PWYW Items

    Pony pals

    I am cleaning up my game room and that is producing a lot of items that we simply don't play. Old, new, never opened, etc. The point is, they need to go and I'm not looking to recoup much money on this.

It's Been a Minute · 3:29pm Apr 14th, 2018

Hello friends, fans, and folks in between, it's been a while since I've reached out to you.

Some of you may have wondered where I've been given my previous tendency to update multiple times a week. I'm pleased to say that while I haven't been writing or participating in ponies as much as I used to, I'm doing well.

Two years ago, I took a leadership position with a new company and it dramatically changed my life. The role is exceedingly fulfilling but, exceedingly demanding of my time and energy. Unfortunately, that has reduced my ability to set up writing time and focus on the Q&B AU I share with Crystal.

I haven't been completely out of the game, however! In fact I invested a lot of time in doing a full uplift of Secrets of a Royal Guard. The prose was rough and needed some love, the plot needed a little clarification, and I was able to put some scenes/ideas in that I simply forgot on the first pass.

Crystal is now in the process of doing a final edit and then we'll be proud to relaunch the story and a companion hardcover with it.

In the mean time, we are still doing our live events. We have one today so consider hopping on and hanging out.

I miss you all but just know things are going well!

Good to hear from you again. cant wait to see what you do with secrects. still need to finsh trials... but ill just wait till ur done the edits then reread everythang.

I know all about demanding jobs. No need to worry there.

Congrats, man.

A nice change of pace from the "haven't been writing because my life is falling apart" blog posts we usually see on the site.

Congratulations on your career! I wish you further success in all your endeavors!

Nice to hear from you guys, it's been awhile. I look forward to adding the third book to my hardcover collection.
