AVCon 2026 + Upcoming Projects

08 July 2026

by S. M. Grey - July 2026

Busy weekend, hey?

AVCon 2026 was my first event in almost three years, and it was amazing. The community, vendors, everything was incredible. I didn’t account for any attendees to have read the first book, but wouldn’t you know it, they stopped by! Literally spent the entire weekend chatting about books, video games, and hobbies. Living the dream.

My tech-priest cosplay needs some repairs (sewing the cog trim with ribbons was possibly a mistake), but keep an eye out for me wandering around at other events. :)

Future Plans 

The short story collection I mentioned in April is ready to roll, and I’m aiming for an October release.

Besides that, I have a novella in the works that will help bridge the Forge’s Requiem trilogy with the next series. Bonus content, really, but it was too long to be an epilogue for The Dreadforged, and doesn’t fit the format of the short story collection. Aiming for February / March. We’ll see how we go.

The next full-length novel is further away - but will be a 2027 release for sure. Stay tuned.

Until next time,

Grey
