Jon Cronshaw's Author Diary - The Real Life of an Indie Author | Writing | Publishing | Disability

This week, I dusted off a project I haven’t touched since May 2023—The Chosen One, a heroic fantasy about a child of prophecy destined to defeat the Dark Lord…except the Dark Lord never came.

Now 40, he abandoned his heroic destiny 20 years ago, but fate may have other plans.

I also made progress on my Space Western, Hunters, writing a new chapter as I continue expanding that world.

This month has been incredibly productive, averaging 5,000 words per weekday, putting me at 100,000 words for the month!

On the reading front, I finished Alchemy: The Magic of Original Thinking in a World of Mind-Numbing Conformity, which was inspiring and full of fresh ideas.

For audio fans, the audiobook edition of Shattered Kingdom (The Ravenglass Throne: Part One) is now FREE on my Patreon!

I’ll be releasing the audio one episode ahead of the retail versions.

Speaking of which, Shattered Kingdom is available for pre-order on all major ebook platforms for just 99c/99p, launching on March 12!
