Exciting news - the first proof copy of The Circle of Twelve, fourth novel in the Súperiae saga, arrived today! My son is already 14 chapters deep in the book after several hours' enthusiastic reading. There are formatting errors to fix, some adjustments needed for the cover, and a couple of textual improvements to make - but the novel is nearly complete and ready to publish in a few short months' time.
A full-length 718-page novel such as The Circle of Twelve (246,000 words) is a massive undertaking and doesn't just happen overnight or in a silo. I started writing this book in late 2021, abandoned it for a year, resumed it in 2023 and spent most of that year completing it, and have since spent almost two years on the challenging goal of achieving publication. And now, we are nearly there!

I would not have been able to complete this book without the support of my wife, Claire, and my two "first readers", my children. There has also been support and encouragement from friends; and over the years, I have grown as a writer by learning from a wonderful group of people - book editors, librarians, readers, other writers, and more. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along this creative journey.
The Circle of Twelve lands soon - watch this space. Still more fan material, easter eggs, and extra goodies are on their way in the weeks ahead as we count down to the book launch. In the meantime, I've got my "editorial hat" on, reviewing the proof copy of The Circle of Twelve and the Revised Editions of The 4 Powers of Daren Sáner, The Vitality Code, and The Gateway to Earth!
