I've just finished writing the first contiguous draft of the next narrative unit in Cosmic Warlord Kin-Bright. This material will form either books VI and VII, or books VI to VIII, depending on how many divisions I think it needs. I still need to put in a spell of time editing, copy-editing, and proofreading, but I'm hopeful that within August I'll be able to schedule live readings and a release for these books.

This is good! I'm excited to share the story's next part, which includes:

• a lot of fighting
• a confession of love
• centaur mecha
• inset lyrics in a verse-form I've not used earlier in the poem

…and much more, across perhaps 2,000 new lines or so.

I make no promises, but at the moment I foresee two more narrative units beyond the one I'm finishing right now.
