My most successful NaNoWriMo yet, I’m ending NaNoWriMo2020 with over 55,000 words logged in 30 days!
I’m super happy at how “The Kerguelen Cat” is turning out, an action-packed sequel that will complement “The Dragon Run” very nicely! I can’t wait to have you guys read it! 😃
5,893 words today and wooohoooooooo!!! 4th time I’ve completed the challenge! 🥳💪🤪 The first draft of “The Kerguelen Cat” is almost complete at close to 60K overall!
“The Kerguelen Cat” uses a degree of creative license when it comes to some of its featured aircraft. One in particular is inspired by the futuristic Horten designs of the 1930s and 1940s.
Pioneering the “flying wing” concept with both gliders and powered prototypes, the Horten brothers later scaled up their ambition with the massive H.XVIII pictured here but the project never left the drawing board…
The sequel of “The Dragon Run”, available now in paperback and ebook, “The Kerguelen Cat” is scheduled for release May 1st, 2021. Pre-order now!
Calling all passengers for boarding, your flight to the 1930s is ready for take off!
“The Dragon Run” is now LIVE on Amazon, for Kindle, on Kindle Unlimited, and on paperback. Grab it while it’s hot: https://amzn.to/34Ko42l!
There’s more! If you want to know more about the Dragon Rapide and other featured planes, TDR comes with “Planes of Ascalon”, a free companion booklet to satisfy your curiosity. Download it here!
Today’s other goodie is the unveiling of the cover for “The Kerguelen Cat”, scheduled for release on May 1st, 2021. Part II of the Ascalon Circle series is bound to amp up the stakes so keep your seatbelts on!
Happy reading! 💜
So since I’m never still and always start shit before finishing something else, I need to unload a new idea that’s been on my mind for a while so that I can continue with the rest. The tentatively called Terra Nostrum is a techno-thriller starring an Interpol Task Force that faces an unprecedented terrorist threat in the Mediterranean.
I could summarize the plot as “Speed 2 meets Rainbow Six”, and I’m very definitely going for a Tom Clancy-kind of vibe with a few twists and plot items that will hopefully, if published, put it a notch above the competition. Time will tell. I’ll keep these under wrap for now, of course.

That’s a better start than last year, for sure.
NaNoWriMo ’18 result: No win this year… Only 5,871 words on Kerguelen Cat (buuuh!) but on the plus side, a refined outline with clearer plot points (yaaay!), and a better look at several things I’ll need to fix in Dragon Run.
Because writing didn’t stop yesterday.
