📍Location Scouting, Thriller Plans & Fantasy Progress | Author Diary – September 5, 2025 🧠🛡️

This week, I took a research trip to Lytham to scout locations for a future psychological thriller.

I’ve got two domestic thrillers planned and will be writing them as side projects under a new pen-name to keep them separate from my fantasy work.

On the fantasy side, I made solid progress on The Sentinel’s Mercy (Ravenglass Guardians). I’ve now reached 75% of the draft and hope to finish it next

Quotes by Jon Cronshaw (?)

“Lev made a show of considering this for a moment before leaning forward. “I like it. Just one little question. Which colour paint should we use?” “Erm.” Fedor stared down at his hands. “Oh.” “So, your plan is one of us escapes, finds some paint, sneaks back in, paints a big message on the side of the building with the vague hope that the others might not only see it, but also understand the message?” He raised a finger. “And, with that knowledge, they’ll whisk us away from the evil assassin riding a magical unicorn to the land of rainbows and pixies?”
― Jon Cronshaw, Dawn of Assassins

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has tau...” He frowns. “Taught, kid.” “Has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but — I hope — into a better shape.”
