The Long Hiatus & Exciting Updates!

Hollow Creeks Carnival from Carnival Kills

Hey everyone,

I know it’s been a while since my last update, and I wanted to take a moment to say—thank you for your patience! The past few months have been a whirlwind, both in my personal and work life, but the biggest reason for my absence has been Carnival Kills.

Originally, I aimed to have the manuscript completed by February, but as with any creative endeavor, things evolved. The story took on some unexpected (but exciting) changes, and I wanted to do it justice. That meant extra time refining the plot, restructuring certain elements, and making sure it lived up to the vision I had for it. But I’m happy to announce that Carnival Kills is finally complete and will be sent off to editors this upcoming week! If all goes well, I’m hoping to release it before summer.

Now, for those of you waiting for Runes of Arcana: Book II—I hear you! Trust me, I know how eager you are to dive back into the world of Arcana. The second book is a massive manuscript, and while it’s taking time, the entire story structure has been laid out. Every chapter has been mapped, and I’ve even been writing a few sections in between working on Carnival Kills. The good news? Progress is happening, and I can’t wait to share more soon!

On another note, I’m also planning to open a pop-up shop on the website! Expect print materials like bookmarks, posters, and even apparel featuring artwork from both books. If that’s something you’d be interested in, let me know!

Once again, thank you all for sticking with me. Your support and enthusiasm mean everything. Don’t forget to subscribe to the site for more updates—big things are coming!

Talk soon,

Caesar Daniels
