A Year in Review
Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026
Another year down, and a new one just ahead. And what a year it’s been! Not only did I add a new addition to my Despot Chronicles series, but also a new member of the family with the birth of my youngest son. I’ve had the pleasure of attending conventions, meeting my fellow 4 Horsemen authors, connecting with readers, and having another great year with the Bay City Players. It’s incredible to look back over the last year and realize how much I accomplished in just twelve months.
But now it’s time to look ahead at what 2026 has to offer, and I’m betting it’s going to be exciting.
One of the biggest things I’m excited for is the release of COLLAPSE, book 3 in the Despot Chronicles. A short story set in the same world is coming out in the Fluxline short story collection, with the release date coming soon. You might also find me popping up at bookstores and conventions, and you will be the first to know where I’ll be throughout the year.

Final thoughts
I wouldn’t be here, on the verge of publishing my third book in this series, if it weren’t for loyal readers like you. Thank you for sticking with me, enjoying my stories, and for all your support. I’m excited to share with you the next chapter in the Despot Chronicles series. And who knows what else might come up in 2026. Keep a weather eye on the horizon, and until then, have a safe and happy New Year.
-Andy
