Hello, readers! After a lengthy hiatus, I am finally back, and I have started writing the ninth City of Crows novel, Night Seeker. Currently, I have written 3,500 words of the draft, and I am planning to start writing in earnest this upcoming Monday. I’m planning to finish the draft by the end of March, and hopefully, the book will be out by late April.

I have a rough outline of the book that I whipped up after rereading Storm Master and the tail end of Dawn Slayer, and after writing the first couple chapters, I wrote out a more detailed outline of the first third or so of Night Seeker.

Overall, I’d say it’s going pretty well so far, considering how long I’ve been away.
