My friends, my apologies. Some time has passed since you last heard from me—too much time, far too much. But that changes today.
My weekly Chaturday Posts are returning as this site undergoes a rebrand. I have missed chatting with you regularly, and my excuses for not having done so are myriad and lame. In the coming week's, I will have a lot to share with you, including new story chapters and some pics from a movie I was in. But this week’s post is about something entirely different: merch is here!
Yes, this post was supposed to go out yesterday, but after my morning writing session, we had lunch and headed out to pick up a Christmas tree. This is my first year having a live tree since I was a kid, so I was very excited. The artificial tree was one of those things lost in the divorce settlement, but sometimes a loss can become a win. After that it was dinner and Bama football, and then bed. So here we are, Chaturdaying on a Sunday.
Merch, Merch, Merch
Just in time for the holiday shopping season, I'm thrilled to announce that Outworld Ranger, Storm Phase, and Typing Cat Press merch has arrived. On my Bonfire store, you'll find a range of items to showcase your fandom: t-shirts, hoodies, hats, mugs, pants, notebooks, and more.

We have a number of styles from Silky Smooth shirts to Storm Mark hats in quite a number of styles and colors. Check it out. Below is a a few examples of what we have to offer.
Outworld Ranger News
Now, for the question I know most of you want answered: Yes, I am working on Outworld Ranger Book 6.
And the writing is going great! I have made more progress in the last month than all of last year.
I would love to give you a percentage for how much has been written, but Book 6 is going to be the longest book in the series by a good amount. And I don't know how long the end action sequences will take. You know how it is when a Silky plan begins, things can get ca-razy.
There's also an extensive flashback sequence that dives into some incredible moments when {Signal Interrupted}.
And Outworld Ranger 6 finally has a title! It's absolutely awesome, and I will reveal it next week. The title is going to rock your world, loyal readers. Rock. Your. World.
Other Projects
Work continues on revamping the Storm Phase series, and there will be more posts for that story soon.
I am also doing a revision of Chains of a Dark Goddess. Unlike with Storm Phase, this update doesn’t add any new scenes or material. I’m just polishing my earlier writing and giving it so much needed depth and flair. I will soon begin posting chapters from that story here weekly.
Lately when my brain burns out from writing Outworld Ranger, usually by midafternoon, that’s when I switch to doing touch-ups on Chains of a Dark Goddess. It's a refreshing process since it doesn't involve creating new material—just refining what's already there.
Signing Off
Now, my writing day is done (it was a good one) and I’m off to decorate the tree and watch some football.
Until next time, best wishes and happy reading,
David Alastair Hayden
