The Pea Pod - Fall Updates

Ready for the Fall...

Hello, dear readers! Welcome back to the Pea Pod! I took a break over the summer to focus on writing and drawing, and that doesn’t include all the other crazy shenanigans life has been throwing at me. I’m going to get back in the swing of updating of my newsletter, though, so thanks for sticking around (or signing up if you’re new here)!

Let’s get to the updates!

Fire in Flight Updates

My main project, Fire in Flight, is still in the works, and I’m expecting to release it in Spring 2026 (which will be either April-June). I’m also still preparing a pre-launch party for Fire in Flight by hosting a Kickstarter for it, so pledgers will get early access to the book, as well as exclusive goodies! The Kickstarter will also help fund the final version of the book and my indie publishing company.

(I’m looking at launching the Kickstarter in November, so keep an eye out if you’re interested!)

For those new to Fire in Flight, the book is a dystopian mystery set in the city of New Harbor. The story takes place in an alternate universe, where a nation’s civil war has severely affected the rest of the world (resulting in the autonomous city of New Harbor).

Book Shoutout

Acquitting Cupid - Abigail Hammond

This month’s book shoutout goes to Acquitting Cupid by Abigail Hammond!

Book Blurb:

Delaney Rutherford’s next case is her biggest yet.

Working as a lawyer at a real estate development firm for the past two years hasn’t afforded her many instances in court, but she’s never been one to back down from a challenge. This time, the trial is personal. She’s even serving the summons herself.

The defendant?

Cupid.

With two relationships down the drain and her parent’s failed marriage hanging over her head, she can’t help but wonder if Cupid has been a little too free with his arrows. To Delaney, romance has become a fairy tale; something meant for others, but not her.

Her employer, Nathaniel Knight, commiserates with her, expressing his grievances after his own string of romantic mishaps. If only Cupid was real they could pin it all on him. Instead, they’re both left wondering where they went wrong.

Unfortunately, family members and friends don’t understand the pair’s reluctance to step back into the dating scene. When Nate makes a ridiculous suggestion that would solve both of their problems, Delaney hesitates, afraid of losing what’s left of her heart.

After all, Delaney learned the hard way to always play it safe—and love is anything but safe.

The Eternal Dusk

Did you know my sister has her own webcomic? It’s called The Eternal Dusk, and it’s available to read on WebToon, ComicFury, DeviantArt, and Instagram!
