TLDR;
Happy Independence Day! Happy 250th birthday, America! That said, Book 2 is in the process of Beta Reading and Book 3 is now 23 chapters long.
ART, ANIMATION, COMMISSIONS, & MERCH
- Work on the Cylbie is close to being done! Been working on it for a good chunk of time this last month. When it's done, I'll ship it off to the person who won it a while back.
- I updated the list of my online stores. If you're another creator who doesn't use Gen AI, you can apply and get your own stores on these sites.
BOOKS, COMICS, FANFIC, & MANGA
- The Beta Reading process for Book 2 is underway! I've got three Beta Readers going with one of them turning in feedback for all 3 chapters every week! The feedback I'm getting is fantastic to boot.
- Book 3 is also in the works. Currently writing chapter 23... and I realize that once again, I will need to break a book in half. So the plan is to write all the way to the end of the Haven Arc, then find the best break point. From there, Book 3 and Book 4 will be worked on.
- I will start the Planet Forerunner Arc once Book 4 is in the Beta Reading phase.
- I will not be looking for editors and other professionals for my books for at least a year or two from now. See the end of this newsletter for why.
STREAMINGS
- Finished a few games this month. Still working on getting Trails of Cold Steel done.
- I did one long stream though not then entire 12 hours. Reason why is seen at the end of the newsletter.

OTHER PROJECTS
- Getting plans together to paint and decorate a room.
- I need to finish a blanket I started five years ago.
- Got to work on my brand bible but I've got to sit down with the Social Media Manager and go through it.
As always, the ebook, paperback, and hardcover are available for purchase over on Amazon and you can use code ‘RAPTOR’ at checkout for 10% off your order at Cheeby Tea! I recommend the Jasmine Green Tea, Black Mojito Tea, and Peach Black Tea.
The temperatures of this summer are looking to be in the hundreds. We've got an El Nino bubbling in the Pacific. Please stay safe and stay cool during the heat!
So the big reason why I'm not looking for editors and can't really do 12 hour streams is because...
drum roll
I'm having a baby.
