Hello everyone! I hope It has been a good week for you!

Work continues on the Diaspora of the Twelve. I mentioned last month that the last portion of the book takes place over three days–I’m on the third day! Another two chapters to go.

There’s a lot unfolding for the Twelve. One theme I’ve found myself returning to in these last chapters is redemption—how it’s offered, how it’s accepted, and what it actually costs. Important decisions are being made and they will have impacts that reach into the next book.

I’ve also been grateful to hear from some of you recently—your thoughts on the series, your favorite moments, and which characters have stayed with you. Keep the questions coming–I love to talk epic fantasy.

⚔️ A small favor (if you’ve finished the book)

If you’ve walked with Fife through The Binding of the Twelve—thank you. Truly. Stories like this grow (or don’t) by word of mouth, and reader reviews make a real difference in helping others discover the series.If you ever feel inclined to leave a quick review on Amazon, even just a few words, it helps more than you probably realize.

No pressure at all—but I’m grateful for it.

Before I go, I’d be curious: Which of the Twelve has stood out to you the most so far?” I always enjoy hearing your thoughts.

I hope on the May update to be able to tell you the draft is complete and with my beta readers! The cover for The Diaspora of the Twelve is almost done. I’ll be sharing that with the mailing list soon.

Thanks again.

Nathanael
