Dive into this week's Author Diary as I share updates on my latest writing achievements, upcoming launches, and the creative decisions ahead.

📝 Writing New Short Stories:

This week, I penned two new short stories, "Hammer of Wolfsbane" and "The Mediocre Maverick." These stories allowed me to explore different facets of my creative universe and refine my storytelling skills. You can read them both for free at joncronshawauthor.com

🚀 Launching "Guild of Assassins" & Expanding Distribution:

The launch preparations for "Guild of Assassins" are in full swing, and I'm thrilled about bringing this new adventure to readers.

Visit: books2read.com/guildofassassins

Additionally, "The Fall of Wolfsbane" is now reaching a broader audience as it becomes available on more eBook platforms including Apple, Nook, Kobo, Google Play, and Ream. It's exciting to see my work accessible on such a diverse range of platforms.

Visit: books2read.com/fallofwolfsbane

🤔 Deciding What's Next:

As I look to the coming week, I'm at a creative crossroads with several potential projects vying for my attention. These include continuing "Punks Versus Zombies," further developing "Wyvern Rider," diving into "Ravenglass Legends Book 3," starting "Guild of Assassins 2," or advancing "Dawn of Assassins 4." Each project offers unique challenges and opportunities, making the choice both exciting and daunting.

I would love to hear your thoughts on how you prioritize multiple creative projects or which of these you’d be most excited to see progress. Your feedback is invaluable as I navigate these creative waters.

389 - March 2, 2025 - The Chosen One, Hunters, The Ravenglass Throne, Alchemy 9:24

This week, I dusted off a project I haven’t touched since May 2023—The Chosen One, a heroic fantasy about a child of prophecy destined to defeat the Dark Lord…except the Dark Lord never came. Now 40, he abandoned his heroic destiny 20 years ago, but fate may have other plans. I also made progress on my Space Western, Hunters, writing a new chapter as I continue expanding that world. This month has been incredibly productive, averaging 5,000 words per weekday, putting me at 100,000 words for the month! On the reading front, I finished Alchemy: The Magic of Original Thinking in a World of Mind-Numbing Conformity, which was inspiring and full of fresh ideas. For audio fans, the audiobook edition of Shattered Kingdom (The Ravenglass Throne: Part One) is now FREE on my Patreon! Visit: patreon.com/joncronshawauthor I’ll be releasing the audio one episode ahead of the retail versions. Speaking of which, Shattered Kingdom is available for pre-order on all major ebook platforms for just 99c/99p, launching on March 12!…

This week marks a major milestone—I’ve finished book 12 of The Ravenglass Throne, meaning the entire series is now complete! Now, it’s a waiting game for the edits to come back, but the hard work of drafting is done. With The Ravenglass Throne wrapped up, I’ve been reflecting on what’s next. I need to take stock of my open projects and decide which one excites me the most before diving in. There are plenty of ideas pulling at my attention, so it’s all about choosing the right one. I also discuss The Fourth Turning is Here, a thought-provoking book that explores generational cycles and societal shifts. It’s made me think about how we’re in the midst of a zeitgeist shift, and what that means for the stories people will connect with most in the years ahead. Exciting times ahead—both in my writing and in the changing landscape of storytelling! Download Shattered Kingdom at: joncronshaw.com/shatteredkingdom .…

This week has been a lighter one, as I’ve mostly been resting after a big push on Book 11 of The Ravenglass Throne over the weekend. Now, I’m onto the final novella in the series—the last stretch is in sight! I’ve also been reading The 10 Cent Plague, a fascinating history of comic books in America. It’s been a great read, full of insight into the cultural impact and controversies surrounding comics. On the scheduling side, I realised I miscalculated my timeline—I originally planned to have Book 12 finished by February 22, but I didn’t account for my son’s half-term break. So, I’m pushing my deadline back a week to give myself more breathing room. Looking forward to the final push on The Ravenglass Throne!…

This week, I’ve finished drafting Book 10 of The Ravenglass Throne and even started on the first chapter of Book 11! With the series nearing its conclusion, I’ve also been working through edits on Book 2, which I’ll start posting on Patreon soon. As The Ravenglass Throne wraps up, I’m starting to think about what comes next. Possible projects include: • Guild of Assassins, book 4 • Dawn of Assassins, book 4 • Ravenglass Legneds, book 4 • Scoundrels (A Dawn of Assassins prequel). • A follow-up to Wyvern Rider. I’ll see where my energy takes me once The Ravenglass Throne is complete. Outside of writing, I really enjoyed Season 2 of The Diplomat on Netflix—it’s packed with tension and sharp dialogue. I also have some thoughts on WWE’s Royal Rumble, which was as chaotic and entertaining as ever! Join the community at patreon.com/joncronshawauthor .…

This week, I’ve been pushing forward with Book 9 of The Ravenglass Throne—I’m just three chapters away from finishing my first draft! The end is in sight, and I’m excited to bring this part of the story to a close. Despite my focus on The Ravenglass Throne, inspiration struck for Guild of Assassins book 4, and I couldn’t resist writing the first chapter. But for now, I need to rein myself in and stay on track with The Ravenglass Throne! In terms of reading, I’ve been making my way through Crown, Cloak and Dagger, which delves into the British royal family’s connections with secret intelligence. It’s fascinating and definitely great story fuel. Looking forward to wrapping up The Ravenglass Throne Book 9 and sharing more updates soon!…

This week, I’ve made significant progress on The Ravenglass Throne series—I’m halfway through drafting Book 8, and the story is shaping up to be an intense and exciting continuation of the series. I’m also thrilled to announce the launch of The Knight and the Rebel (Ravenglass Legends, Book 3). This new release is now available, and I can’t wait for readers to dive into this thrilling tale set in the Ravenglass Universe. Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I look forward to sharing more updates soon!…

This week, I’ve been making slow progress on The Ravenglass Throne—I’m now just three chapters away from finishing Book 7. The story is heating up, and I can’t wait to share it with you. I’ve also been enjoying The Diplomat on Netflix. It’s a gripping show full of political intrigue, and it’s been a nice way to recharge between writing sessions.

This week has been a bit of a mixed bag. I’ve been working on The Ravenglass Throne and Hunters, but progress has been slow as I’ve been feeling the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I realised I forgot to mention some big news in the podcast: I’ve started posting The Ravenglass Throne on Patreon! The first few chapters are up now, and I’m also sharing Blade of Sorrows (Guild of Assassins Book 3). If you’re a fan of dark fantasy and epic tales, be sure to check them out! On the reading front, I finished Ringmaster, a book about Vince McMahon, and I’m now diving into The Contrarian, a biography of Peter Thiel. Both are fascinating reads and fantastic sources of inspiration for storytelling. Next week, I’ll be continuing with The Ravenglass Throne and pushing forward with my writing projects.

Happy New Year! I’m back at work on The Ravenglass Throne and making great progress—Book 5 is nearly complete, and Book 1 has returned from the editor. I’ve gone through the edits, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll start posting episodes on Patreon starting Monday! This fast-paced epic fantasy series, set in the Ravenglass Universe, will have new episodes releasing every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It’s an exciting time, and I can’t wait to share this story with you. On the reading front, I’ve been diving into Doppelganger by Naomi Klein—a fascinating and thought-provoking book that’s giving me plenty to reflect on.

In this week’s Author Diary, I share exciting developments and reflections as the year draws to a close. I’ve just completed the fourth novella in The Ravenglass Throne series, only to realise that what I’ve created is a full novel, not four novellas! Moving forward, I’ll start posting chapters exclusively on Patreon, as I shift to a Patreon-first publishing approach for my work. I also look back on 2024, reflecting on the progress of the Ravenglass Legends series and my plans to expand it in the coming year. With several books currently with my editor—including Guild of Assassins 2 & 3 and the Punks Versus Zombies trilogy—I’m gearing up for a busy and productive 2025. I discuss my open projects, including Dawn of Assassins 4 and Scoundrels Book 1, which are on my must-finish list for next year. Additionally, I touch on a crucial area for growth: marketing. Feeling that my author business has plateaued, I’ve started a course on book marketing to refine the strategies I’ve been using since 2017.

Sullivan’s ability to craft rich characters and intricate plots is as gripping as ever, and it’s been a fantastic source of inspiration for my own storytelling.

Join me in this week's Author Diary as I embark on an exciting new writing adventure and share my latest reading experiences. 👑 Introducing "The Ravenglass Throne": This week marks the beginning of a new venture into YA epic fantasy with my latest project, "The Ravenglass Throne." The story unfolds around three princesses thrown into turmoil after their father, the king, is mysteriously assassinated without naming an heir. Set against a backdrop of looming conspiracy and dark secrets, the narrative explores themes of power, loyalty, and the quest for truth. 📘 Current Reading: Alongside developing this new tale, I'm engrossed in "Ezzraharden" by Michael J. Sullivan. Sullivan's ability to weave intricate plots and richly drawn characters never fails to inspire. I'm reading "Wild Faith" by Talia Levin, a book that offers a fresh perspective on spirituality and belief systems within the context of far-right politics. Both books provide a wonderful blend of escapism and intellectual engagement, feeding into my creative process. 📅 What’s Next: As "The Ravenglass Throne" begins to take shape, I'm focused on outlining the complex relationships and political intrigue that drive the heart of the story. I'm excited to develop this world and its rulers, bringing to life the struggles and triumphs of each princess. I’d love to hear about your favourite YA fantasy books or any recent reads that have captured your imagination. How do you like to see conspiracy and mystery handled in fantasy settings?
