  • 395 - April 20, 2025 - Ravenglass Legends, Blade of Sorrows, Wyvern's Shadow
    Apr 18 2025

    It’s been a big week!

    I launched two new books:

    🔥 Wyvern’s Shadow (The Ravenglass Throne, Book 2)

    ⚔️ Blade of Sorrows (Guild of Assassins, Book 3)

    On top of that, I’ve started work on Book 4 of Ravenglass Legends.

    I’ve made the decision to expand this into a seven-book series, with this fourth instalment serving as a mid-point in the larger story.

    While it’s not my bestselling work, Ravenglass Legends remains my passion project—a world and cast of characters I care deeply about.

    I’m writing it for the love of the story and hope readers will join me for the journey ahead.

  • 394 - April 13, 2025 - Speculative Fiction Tales, Lord Sidebottom, Wyvern's Shadow, Blade of Sorrows
    Apr 11 2025

    This week has been all about juggling projects and getting things ready for some exciting releases.

    I’ve been busy preparing my short stories for a new podcast — Speculative Fiction Tales. You can find it on your favourite podcast app or over on my YouTube channel.

    I’m also gearing up for the launch of two books next week:

    🐉 Wyvern's Shadow (The Ravenglass Throne Book 2)

    ⚔️ Blade of Sorrows (Guild of Assassins Book 3)

    On top of that, I’ve started work on a new side project—a steampunk adventure novel featuring Lord Sidebottom.

    I’ve written several shorts with this character over the years, and I’m excited to finally have a novel concept that I’m really pleased with.

    Lots happening—and plenty more to come!

  • 393 - April 6, 2025 - Forged in Blood, Guild Assassins, Adolescence
    Apr 4 2025

    This week, I’m excited to announce that Forged in Blood is now available! It’s always a great feeling getting a new book out into the world.

    I’ve also been working on some new Guild of Assassins short stories, which are now available to download for free at joncronshaw.com/guildassassin.

    If you're enjoying the series, these are a great way to dig deeper into the world.

    On the viewing front, I watched Adolescence on Netflix—a gritty, intense drama that I highly recommend if you're in the mood for something powerful and thought-provoking.

    Thanks as always for following along!
