Wicker Hill Update Coming Soon, The Cursed Ones Gets its Final Title
Wicker Hill Update Coming Soon
After what has genuinely felt like a small eternity, I’ve finally heard back from my publisher—and it looks like updates on Wicker Hill’s physical release should be coming within the next few weeks!
The process has taken much longer than I anticipated. Months, actually. Far beyond the timeline I originally planned for, and definitely long enough to throw a wrench into everything I had lined up after it. The delay ended up halting a lot of my forward movement on The Morgue (the second book in the series, already 50% done by the way), which has been frustrating—but not unexpected, given how publishing tends to go. Still, it’s been a test of patience.
The good news is that, despite the detours and drawn-out waiting game, things are finally shifting into motion. If all goes well—and God willing and the creek don’t rise—Wicker Hill will soon be more than just a file on my hard drive or a name in my head. It’ll be a real book. One with pages, a spine, and that new-book smell we all pretend not to love as much as we do.
I genuinely can’t wait to share it with readers. Holding the first physical copy will be surreal after how long this has taken, and I’m beyond ready to see it out in the world.
Thank you for hanging in there with me. Stay tuned—because very soon, Wicker Hill will finally be here.
The Cursed Ones Gets its Final Title
With publishing updates slowing to a trickle lately (the quiet before the storm, I hope), I’ve taken the opportunity to refocus some of my energy on another project that’s been quietly growing in the background. A dark urban fantasy world—something sprawling, ancient, and utterly steeped in shadow.
Originally, I’d been calling it The Cursed Ones—a working title that, in hindsight, never really sat right with me. It carried a weight I didn’t intend, a kind of condemnation that didn’t reflect the nuance I wanted for the supernatural beings who inhabit this world. Vampires, werewolves, sorcerers, demons, angels—yes, they’re dangerous. Yes, they’re powerful. But not all of them are cursed. Some are chosen. Some are haunted. And some are far more human than we’d like to admit.
So, the title changed. Or rather—the name of the world came into focus.
I’m calling it Marrowmyth.
There’s intention in that name. It echoes. It ties to bone and blood, to story and structure, to the hidden things passed down and buried deep. It also, if you know me, isn’t random—Marrow is more than just a word. It’s part of my name. It’s part of me. So yes, a little meta. Maybe a little self-indulgent. But it fits.
Marrowmyth isn’t just a story—it’s a whole mythos. A world parallel to ours, built on centuries of forgotten wars, broken pacts, bloodlines that never died, and horrors that wear human skin. It’s an enormous undertaking, and building it out—truly fleshing it into something living—has been both exhausting and exhilarating. There’s still much more to shape, but every day I spend in it reminds me why I started this in the first place.
So while things may be quiet on the publishing front for now, just know that behind the scenes, the bones are shifting. The myths are waking. And Marrowmyth is coming.
Stay close. There's more on the way.
