Returning To An Old Friend

 Last time I updated anyone on my fantasy book series “Haldred Chronicles” was back in 2024.

I dabbled in TikTok, updated Instagram constantly, even had a Twitter account (you know, it’s proper name).

Yet not only could I just not keep things going but I had hit a wall creatively. With my fifth book I just couldn’t get going.

Yet now, going into 2026, things have changed.

 

I have been re-writing my later books to make them more consistent with my officially published book ‘Alyssa’. I have learnt a lot from the editorial and publishing process so now, 2026 will be the ‘relaunch’ year of Haldred Chronicles.

This relaunch can be best described as a ‘soft’, as a lot of the work on the books has been correcting errors, making the grammar and spelling more consistent and updating aspects of the prose.

Original readers need not throw up their hands in dismay; the story and characters do not change. I am simply changing the writing, so it makes a little more sense from a ‘meta plot’ point of view.

And it all prepares the ground for book 5. I have not set a launch date yet, that depends on how well the writing goes, but I want to finish it. I want to get it out.

Victoria needs her next adventure; she’s going to get it.

So, in our run up to Christmas I bid you all Happy Christmas, may you have a Happy New Year and hopefully, sometime in 2026 I will finally release book 5 of Haldred Chronicles.
