Welcome to Jon's author diary for the week ending November 7, 2021. I've not had the best week in terms of mood. I can definitely feel seasonal affective disorder rearing its ugly head. This means I feel both restless and tired and my creative energy has been very low. I usually find this hits me around the end of October, so I'm not surprised that it's here. I've not written anything new this week, but I did get Dawn of Assassins back from the editor and went through that. That book is now ready for publication, so that's exciting. My original plan was to release it as an experiment on Kindle Vella while I'm working on the second book, but it's not available yet for UK-based authors, so I'll be launching the book in January. Hopefully that will do better than Black Death Survival, which on reflection has been a complete waste of time since starting the project. In future, I need to remember not to fall for the sunk cost fallacy. I spent a lot of time working on the book, several months I could have spent doing other projects. I'm sure it'll pay for itself over time, but it's not done well at all, and I don't think a post-apocalyptic story featuring real people in the UK is what the readers want. But this is good. This is me drawing a line under a project that had been open for over three years. It's also me drawing a line under writing post-apocalyptic fiction because what the readers want does not align with the types of stories I want to tell. So lots of reflection this week. Reflection about my writing career so far, the successes and failures, the ups and downs. In April 2017, I drew up a five-year plan to make a sustainable full-time income as an author. The plan worked. I did it. But as we're moving towards the end of 2021, I keep asking myself ‘what next?' Do I continue writing books and building up my back catalogue? Or, do I scale the business up? I feel like it's time draw up a new five-year plan. I can write more stories in the Ravenglass universe. I can work with other authors, outsource tasks, and expand what I do. I'm inspired by what companies like Games Workshop and authors like Michael Anderle and Craig Martelle have built. They've created universes and a cast of unforgettable characters. I wrote my twenty-one book series The Ravenglass Chronicles and Dawn of Assassins is set in the same universe. It's a universe where I can tell many stories, from stone age fantasy to space opera, and everything between. And that's exciting. That's potential. Me doing this alone isn't sustainable. I need to grow this thing. In terms of reading, I read Legion and Battle for the Abyss. These were books 7 and 8 in the Warhammer 40k Horus Heresy series. They couldn't have been different in terms of quality. Legion was very good, but I struggled to get through Battle for the Abyss. I've found with this series that some books are much better than others, but I like the idea of having a huge overarching story that gives space for many smaller stories to be told. So, next week is going to be interesting. I should be going to Egypt. We've got the tickets. My bags are packed. I'm still not fully convinced that I'm going, but if I do, I'm sure it will help with the SAD stuff. Finally, if you haven't done so already, you can get your free copy of Birth of Assassins by visiting joncronshaw.com. So, until next time, cheerio.

Welcome to Jon’s author diary for the week ending February 14, 2021. It has been a busy week. I’ve written the first chapter to my next novel, working title Dawn of Assassins. I had February 22 down on my calendar to start this one, but I couldn’t wait to get going! Throughout January and the first week I’ve February I wrote a short prequel novel and a short story to help me get the characters’ voices and motivations feeling real before I started writing the main series. It’s set in the same universe as The Ravenglass Chronicles. Time has moved on a few hundred years, so the technology and society have progressed, and the city of Nordturm is much larger than it was in the original series. It follows the life of a thief called Fedor who is dragged into the dark world of assassins. You can expect the wyverns, ravenglass magic system, and parallel worlds you saw in The Ravenglass Chronicles, but with the emphasis on Nordturm’s criminals rather than a spoilt princess. I’m really excited about the story and my hope is that you’ll come along for the ride.

Welcome to Jon's author diary for the week ending January 17, 2021. We’re a few weeks into the year, and I’m still writing 2020. Oh well. If you’re a regular listener to my weekly Author Diary podcast, you’ll know that last week I had a crappy time dealing with the latest UK lockdown. I’ve not been able to see my mum, siblings, or friends since the summer, and it’s been very difficult to keep hope and have faith that things will get better. So, this week, I decided to dig deep to get the words down. Even though we’re home-schooling my son, I’ve been getting up at 5.30am to write. And it’s been going well. I’ve passed the 20,000-word mark on my next book, which has the working title Birth of Assassinsand is the prequel to a new series set in in the Ravenglass Universe. I figured it would be nice to move from telling the story of a magical princess to one about a gang of thieves. It’s been a lot of fun discovering a group of new characters and I’m struggling to keep up with the ideas I’m getting for the series. I’m doing this book as a freebie for you guys to thank you for your support over the past year. I know it’s been hard for everyone, so I’ll let you know when it’s ready and you can download your free copy. I was disappointed this week to have to move a holiday I had booked to Egypt this coming March, but with the UK in lockdown, it’s looking highly unlikely that we’ll be able to travel any time soon. So we’ve moved it to November. Hopefully, by then, there will be a little more normality…hopefully. Egypt is one of my bucket-list places, so I can’t wait to go. I have wanted to see the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx since I can remember. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll discover for myself whether the pyramids were built by aliens, or whether, as I’m inclined to believe, they were actually built by humans. We shall see. Review milestone I was very pleased to see this week that the first boxset in the Ravenglass Chronicles passed the 500 reviews mark on Amazon. And 70 percent of those reviews were five-star! I’ve not had a book go over 100 reviews before, so that’s a nice achievement unlocked. Long may it continue. Release news In terms of releases, the second half of the Ravenglass Chronicles (episodes twelve-to-twenty) is now live. So, for those of you waiting for me to complete the series, it’s all done and dusted and available to enjoy. Click HERE to order.

Welcome to Jon’s Author Diary for the week ending October 11, 2020. We’re still in local lockdown, but I’ve been keeping my head down and getting on with Judgement, which is book 20 of The Ravenglass Chronicles. The first draft is complete and I’m about 3,000 words from the end of my second. It’s such a strange feeling knowing I’ve got one more episode to write. But it’s okay as I already have plans for my next series. It’s going to be set in the same universe, but focused around a gang of thieves turned reluctant assassins. It’ll have all the craziness you’ve come to expect from The Ravenglass Chronicles, with wyverns and magical realms, but with a focus on a male protagonist and the Ostreich Empire’s gritty underworld. Black Death If you’ve been following my author diaries for a while, you might recall I was working on a post-apocalyptic trilogy with a co-author, Lynn Sheridan. I’m pleased to say that he’s done with the first book and is almost complete with his work on the second book, so we should have a final version of the Black Death trilogy ready for the editor by Christmas….hopefully! We started working on this project in late-2017, so it’s weird putting the finishing touches to a series about a pandemic given what 2020 has handed us. Throne of Glass Finally, I’ve been reading the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. A few readers had said how The Ravenglass Chronicles shares elements with the story, so I thought I’d check it out. As I’ve not been able to get into fiction since the start of lockdown, I’ve really enjoyed getting back into fantasy (I’ve read the first three books over the past week and am enjoying book 4, Queen of Shadows). I can see the parallels in terms of some of the story elements, but it’s also very different. If you’ve not read it and enjoy YA fantasy, I’d highly recommend the series . If you’ve got any recommendations for similar stuff, let me know. Take care, Jon

Welcome to Jon's author diary for the week ending October 4, 2020. It’s been a mixed bag of the week. I’ve been working on Judgement, which is the penultimate episode of The Ravenglass Chronicles. I’m pulling together all the story threads for the final episode. I had hoped to have finished the series by now, but 2020 has thrown everyone’s plans asunder it would seem. Although we’re in local lockdown, we did manage to celebrate our son’s eighth birthday with Super Mario LEGO and a trip to Blackpool. If you listen to my Author Diary podcast, you’ll know that we scrambled before the local lockdown came in to make sure he had a birthday party with his best friends. This year’s been hard enough for the kids, and I was determined to make his birthday as fun as it could be given the circumstances. Over the past few weeks we’ve been watching the His Dark Materials TV series on BBC iPlayer, which is tremendous. Although we’ve watched movies and TV shows as a family before, we’ve never watched anything like a long-form drama together, so it was really nice to cuddle up on the sofa and watch with my guide dog keeping my feet warm. Finally, The Sun, episode 19 of The Ravenglass Chronicles, is now available. Click HERE to grab your copy.
