Author Squared chapter 3

Another year has passed and I was thinking. What books have I announce in Chapter 1 and 2 on Author Squared that have yet to be released.

1. Carnivore Cookbook

2. Under The Shield

3. Driftwood

4. Under The Shield 2

5. Bonus Story for Under The Shield

6. Off To Mom/Off To Dad

Of these the Bonus story and Under The Shield 2 I had no intention of releasing anytime soon. Just working on them but my focus, since has shifted to other pressing projects that should be released sooner. It has been an incredible journey through this year of Author Squared. I like to think Author Squared has had a very productive year. We have had 5 books released through Chapter 2 of Author Squared production lineup.

1. Story Stumped

2. Missing Pieces

3. Speechless

4. Page Break

5. Green Pea Not A Home For Me! Intended Vision

This is a long and prominent list of picture books released in this time with many more in the remainder of this year. Both Green Pea and Speechless were surprise releases not being announced or expected to be released last year at this time. We are currently looking at these being on the short list for being released in the next few months.

1. Under The Shield Cover art nearly complete

2. The Silent Reality 2 The Secret Truth At the editor

3. Carnivore Cookbook At Trafford being formatted

4. Off To Mom/Off To Dad Being written

5. Ms. Basil's Mysteries; The Mystery of the Missing Seeds Being illustrated

6. New Secret Project actively being illustrated

Driftwood is a book nearing release that's been put on hold. While these six books are currently being worked on there are far more than this we want out.

With the remainder of 2026 and what we are aiming for, I really don't know what else I'd be able to put on the short list. Beyond this I have another secret project that I'm am very excited to see Pascha start working. It's completely different to what you've seen from us yet and I am hoping to see it in the latter part of Author Squared Chapter 3 (2027).

Something I've noticed is that in both past chapters I've presented something new in the year. One being Coffee Cups and another being Coffee Framed Paintings. What is something new I have to present? I think it's a fitting time to announce it now. With the recent release of Missing Pieces we have created a small puzzle based on the puzzle in Missing Pieces. This will be our giveaway to celebrate. If you purchase anything from our table you can enter a draw win it. Name phone number and which Farmers' Market location because this month we are part of a lot of Farmers' Markets. It's an idea we've had for a little while. How, when, and with what was the question.

Ultimately I find it fitting that it's tied to Missing Pieces but a picture of one of our most popular picture books Trash Monsters.

5X6 Missing Pieces Puzzle

Chapter 3 seems to be starting strong with a wide variety of books and a small celebration of our first four books being released and new ones on the way. I wish I had more to say but it seems to be a simple year with an exciting upcoming. I hope you stay tuned and keep an eye on everything that will be happening as we go into Year three of Author Squared.

Thank you for your time
