March was hard. I lost a parent.
After that, I’ve had time to refocus on what matters—the things I want to finish in my life. And the stories that live in my head… I want to get them down.
The Plains – I ordered proof copies this morning. I have a tentative release date of 5/4/2026. May 4th has a history of bringing good things into my life, and I’d like to return the favor, so I’m looking forward to sharing this one with you.
The Phoenix Queen – I’m working through the developmental edits. Before the end of the month, it will be back in the dev editor’s hands.
Jennifer’s Book 4 – I expect it back from the dev editor any day now.
Enter the next series – Dernogard 10. I’ve been working with a story coach (who is awesome!), and all ten books are mapped out and ready to be produced. I’m aiming to have the first two out this year.
If you’re not on my email list, consider joining. April’s email should include a preview.
Blessings,
N. A. Hydes
