Hello, everybody. I am Brandon, here for a very different sort of Weekly Update for you. I am at the Turtle Bay Resort on beautiful North Shore Oahu in Hawaii. I’ve been writing here for the last week or so, a little over a week. And I’ve been working on the new Skyward book. And I thought I would give you an update. Sorry there wasn’t one last week. I was travelling on Thursday last week. Try to give you some shot of the ocean there. See?

So how’s it going? It’s going very well. I am about one-third through Defiant, the final book of the main Skyward sequence, the one I’m working on by myself, though there might be other stories to come with Janci. By the way, the second of those novellas is out, and I hope that you’re willing to give them a try. I’m very please with the work that Janci and I did on those. Regardless, it’s kind of all Skyward all the time around here because we have the third book coming out in about a week or so, Thanksgiving week here in the States, which is coming up real soon. Like I said, I’m one-third of the way through. You can actually follow on my social media my progress because I’m posting daily updates. This is because it’s National Novel Writing Month. And so I thought it would be cool to post my daily word counts as I move through this book. The goal is to have it done by—there’s some water—January 1^st, and I’m on target, a little bit ahead, actually.

So anyway, I thought you guys would enjoy this. I’ll actually be back by the time this goes up because I fly home on Sunday. I’m getting back Monday morning. But anyway, next time it’ll be a little less scenic when I record one of these, and I’ll be back to tell you how things are going and to talk to you more about the con that we are having and about the progress on the books. As always, thank you very much for following and reading the books. And I’ll talk to you later.
