Quick happy update: Horizon Echo has gone out to all early-access backers! Iām so excited for you to spend time with Horizon and the rest of the orphans, ten years older and facing brand-new trouble.
Iām juggling a few other deadlines right now, but the next big project in this universe is Falconās Folly, and Iām planning to dig into that this summer.
Thank you again for all of your supportāyouāre the reason these stories keep going.

Sneak peek from Horizon Echo belowā¦
Horizon hooked her knees around the trunk and reached for the blossom that glowed between two branches. The xanthia was worth more than gold back at Wolf Haven as a healing tonic, trade stock, and survival itself, but only if she cut it just right.
Her stomach swooped when she glanced down the hundred-foot drop to the ground. She wasnāt stupid enough to look twice. She forced her gaze on the petals: pink edged in blue, shimmering with veins of liquid gold.
Knife steady, she pried away the thick green growth. One flick, and the blossom came free. She slid it into her tray, capped the extraction tube as glittering sap swirled into it, and tucked the vial against her chest to keep it warm. Conservation mattered as much as harvest. Duff, her dad, had drilled that into her. Always giving back. So she brushed pollen from a purple flower across the next blossoms, then red, then orange.
The canopy breathed with her, leaf-whisper and insect buzz settling into a rhythm. For a moment it felt like she belonged here.
Then everything stopped.
No leaves rustling. No skittering bugs. No flapping wings.
Only the faint hiss of silence. And beneath it, the pulse of distant drums and faint voices that rose in a chant.
On paper, Dragon Regime: Reckoning looks very different from the Relic books: dragons, castles, bondsmen, MMF romance, a world that feels more āmagicā than ānanites and time rifts.ā
Under the scales, though?
Itās built from the same bones.
If you like the Relic Saga because of:
strange tech that behaves like magic
big systems that treat people as expendable
characters who carry too much and choose anyway
found family in dangerous places
ā¦then Dragon Regime is basically that energy, filtered through a different lensāand yes, thereās a science-fantasy secret baked in.
Iām playing with:
a āmagicā bond system that may not be as mystical as it looks
a world shaped by an old catastrophe no one really understands (Yet)
people trying to live, love, and rebel inside a structure that was never built for their survival
If youāve ever thought, āWhat would Claudiaās worldbuilding look like with dragons, trauma, and more kissing?āāthis is that experiment.
There are two paths for this book:
a closed-door edition (fade-to-black, more like Relic in terms of on-page spice)
a spicy edition (same story, but with the bedroom door open)
You can pick whichever matches your comfort level and still get the full story.
If you want to check it out, the campaign page has:
I made really good progress. All Physical orders have shipped and a few people have sent pictures!
The moment of truth: Books unwrapped from their boxes!
Backer shows off their Company Assassin hardcover!!
Everything digital, BUT the audio books, and the early access items, have been sent.
I have a few people who wanted the digital rewards to a different email address. I hope to be distributing that this weekend, including the audio books, and do a last crosscheck on this event.
What's next? Honestly, I need to be heads down on Scale of the Dragon. That deadline is fast approaching and I'm behind on my progress. š Once that's wrapped up, I'll be turning my attention to the next campaign. Now, I'd love to hear from you: What would you guys like to see?
The two final books Horizon Found and Falcon's Folly from the Relic Saga?
The Merged Series with exclusive covers?
The Northwoods Guardians rebranded and exclusive covers?
An exclusive novella set in any of the worlds?
So many choices!
Now, I'd love to hear from you ā your input will help shape the direction of my next campaign! Comments or emails are always appreciated!
For everyone who has filled out a survey, I have all the boxes packed! I'll flip the status to shipped after hopefully dropping them off over lunch. I will work on the digital rewards today and tomorrow. :)
I still have eight people who have not filled in surveys. If you want your items to ship with this batch, you need to update them fast!
The end stack of packages!
A wrapped book
Ready for the next step
Just like wrapping a present
I may or may not have checked on the printer status a dozen times a day since I was told the books should print the week of January 20th. I was waiting for them to flip to printed so I could give a meaningful update.
Guess what? The order just turned to status - printed!!!! š š š š š
What's next:
The printers have to package and ship the books.
I have to lock down addresses in backerkit.
I have to package and ship the books to you.
I'm so excited & hope you are, too!!
Thank you for your patience and support. I'll keep you updated on the status of your books.
