Some Progress and Future Goals

Hey everyone. It's your favorite writer again. here with an update of what I've been up to.

So I've been making a lot of headway with the stories I'm currently working on through my Hubpages account. So much so, in fact, that I'm practically done. However, there's still actually posting the chapters on the website, so they're both still weeks away from me technically being done with them. But thanks to the headway I've made, I got to start working on the next books of some of my other series that are still ongoing.

First up, there's the Shadow Slayer Trilogy. I felt that it was about time I started working on this series again. It's supposed to be a trilogy, but it's been taking a long time for me to actually complete. I'm hoping to power through and actually get the whole series completed as soon as possible.

For those of you that don't know, the Shadow Slayer Trilogy is an action-oriented dark fantasy, horror series that follows the adventures of two siblings with an over-complicated family. Like with many of my stories, I took my inspiration from media like television shows an comics that I've become a fan of for most of my teenage and adult life. So you can expect a lot of intrigue and fighting scenes.

Once I'm done with the trilogy, I'm hoping to make a sort of spin-off sequel of it, set in the same universe. I already have a somewhat clear picture of who's going to be in it and what their adventures would be about. While I hope to put some action in it, it might not compare to the almost comic-book superhero-like endeavors of the current series' characters.

Next on my agenda is another Ben and Co. novel! It's about time I got to working on this. Like with the Shadow Slayer Trilogy, the adventures of Benjamin Tao and his, I'd like to say, friends (?) is an intense, supernatural, action series. However, the Ben and Co. novels are more like spy thrillers that deal with stuff like psychic powers and non-humans. Benjamin Tao, a child genius, master martial artist, and human turned awesome Chinese dragon from becoming someone's human experiment reluctantly faces devious villains and criminals who threatens the peace of the world for their own greed and madness alongside an assassin's katana-sword wielding daughter, an actual American teen spy, and psychics with powers of levitation, conjuring fire and lightning.

I had originally planned it to be a two-book series, but couldn't help but have ideas for their next adventure pop into my head, causing the series to go longer than planned. Now, however, I have a clear picture on how the series will end. The current work I've started on will be a step to it. It won't entirely end the series, but it could be a marker for the end of Benjamin's adventures. After I'm done with that, I'm thinking of making a story compilation novel of the characters' daily lives that take place at various points in time between the main adventures across the series. As for the concluding novel for the whole series, I'll say nothing. Don't want to give too many spoilers, after all.

It'll still be some time before I get to these plans. But in the meantime, please enjoy all my other works, which you can find clicking HERE.
