What to expect for October (Patreon)

Dorley 47. The final chapter of the fourth book! It’s planned out and I’m working on it, but as you might imagine, it’s one of those chapters that I need to get really right, because it sets things up for book five, so I’m going to be working on it for a bit yet.

We’re going to put up the release date for The Catch. I’ve given the text a proper edit and we have a cool cover and everything. We have a couple of little bows to tie and then we’re going to launch it. Soon!

Also probably more Man-Machine Interface. I have a couple chapters I’ve been playing with when I’m too tired to write Dorley. They might go up later tonight—for certain definitions of ‘later’ and ‘tonight’—but we’ll see. I might well finish this cuppa tea and then fall immediately asleep.

The status of The Sisters of Dorley as a book series that you can buy and stuff is still up in the air. You may know that the publisher I was working with, Neem Tree, was bought out by a bigger publisher that then quite quickly went bankrupt. We’re working on it. News will be here and on my Bluesky account when I have some to give. I’m so sorry the preorders for Secrets of Dorley Hall have yet to work out; it’s been out of my hands and it sucks.

I’m travelling a little in October, but it oughtn’t affect things too much unless I manage to catch The Lurgy while I’m outside.

As ever, thank you all for sticking with me as my erratic release schedule remains... erratic.
