Everything begins with the best of intentions, like setting up this blogger account. Unfortunately, since I created it, there has only been silence, comparable to the sound of tumbleweeds blowing in the wind, as no new content has been written.
You might be wondering why that is. The truth is, throughout 2025, I was busy adjusting to my new role as a tutor—specifically, a teaching assistant to my non-Kiwi friends—at Otago University. I worked alongside social work and health science students while also taking on casual hours as a social work contractor and juggling a few other tasks.
That said, I have been writing. I contributed a short story to a science fiction anthology focused on a space coast guard, co-written with fellow author Michael LaVoice. We enjoyed the premise so much that we’ve decided to expand it into a trilogy featuring Jack Crowley and other members of the Search-and-Rescue Command. Additionally, I have another short story submitted in an anthology that will be released later this year, so stay tuned for updates.
On the solo writing front, I've been diligently expanding the adventures of Nathan Harvey, Tomasi Folau, and Christian Daucourt during the First Saber War, which began in "Dragoon: First Strike." More announcements will come as I learn more, but in the meantime, if you haven’t already, check out the book via the links provided.
Looking ahead to 2026, I expect it will be similar to this past year, but at least I'm no longer adjusting.
That’s it for now. I don’t want to promise any regular posts, but I will make an effort to update the blog as needed.
