A Note From Me To You

Dear Reader:

When I first published the Known Cosmos series on Royal Road in June, 2025, I didn’t expect anyone to read it. The fact that my books combined have received over 5,000 views six weeks later is astonishing to me.

Thank you.

I hope I make you laugh and that your day is a little brighter when Peydran, Ren, Ryst and Nayth are around.

PS: And now for some housekeeping. Within And Without (Known Cosmos #1) has undergone revisions. I reduced Ryst’s internal monologue, removed passive voice, and increased the pacing of the first half of the book. I am sorry for the disruptions it caused to your Reading Progress as I reworked so many chapters.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

I also learned that when I deleted the snippets from Stars Dancing, you all lost your Reading History. I am sorry if that happened to you. Thank you for coming back and for putting up with the sloppiness of live publication!

The revisions process taught me a lot. If you haven’t followed my books, you can lose your Reading History if I delete chapters. So, it serves us all when we follow authors and their books.

Book 3 cover and snippet are up: Genre Benders.

PPS: As a weird work-around to the deleted chapters problem, I added some unpublished snippets from Stars Dancing to the end of Within and Without. So, if you want a sneak peak at some future chapters of the book you are now reading, hop over to Within and Without. There’s snippets from Book 3 Genre Benders too.

Teaser Snippet from Stars Dancing Chapter 12 with Peydran and Ren. Click Next Chapter when you get to the bottom, and you’ll get fifteen snippets total.

Thank you for reading, and I'll see you in the next chapter!
