Plot Delayed. Beard Advancing.

Right, KDP Authors — small update from the trenches (and tropics).

The cyber-crime trilogy is still very much alive… but I’m officially pushing the heavy writing phase from June to November. Why? Because I’m currently living in Vietnam, building out my Skool community, and doing the unglamorous but necessary work of PTSD recovery. Turns out healing + heat + decent coffee requires a slightly different pacing model than “lock myself in and smash 5k words a day.”

Speaking of pacing… I’m also considering re-adopting my COVID lockdown grooming strategy.

No barbers.

No shaving.

No mirrors with opinions.

If that happens, don’t be surprised if an image like this resurfaces in about six months.

At one point people said I looked like Hemingway.

I’ll take that comparison.

I’ll also happily take his book royalties if anyone knows where to collect those.

For now, it’s slow build, long game:

• Vietnam life

• community first

• trilogy later
