Legendary actor and mental health advocate Glenn Close is on a quest to change how we think about mental health, starting with her decision to speak out about her own family's struggles — a brave choice considering the stigma that pervades the topic. This week, we're revisiting this sweeping conversation with TEDWomen curator Pat Mitchell, where Close shares the inspiration behind the advocacy group she founded to combat the crisis, underscoring the transformative power of community and the critical need for comprehensive mental health care systems.

After taking last week off, I’m back at the writing desk and making great progress on The Prince and the Fool (Ravenglass Legends, Book 4). I’ve just hit the mid-point of the book—and the series itself! I’ll be sharing unedited chapters on Patreon over the next few weeks for those following along early. This week, I also chat about reading Homecoming by Robin Hobb—a beautifully written book as always—and watching Baby Reindeer on Netflix, a dark but excellent drama that’s definitely stayed with me. On a less fun note, I’ve been nursing a bad back, which means I’ve had to miss out on seeing one of my favourite bands, James. Hoping to be back on my feet properly soon!

This week’s been all about the behind-the-scenes work—the less glamorous side of being an author. I’ve been deep in admin, getting everything in place for the release of Severed Bonds (The Ravenglass Throne, Part Three) on May 19, and preparing the audio edition of Book 4 for my Patreon supporters. It’s been a week of formatting, uploading, scheduling, and ticking boxes—but not much creative work. I’m itching to get back to actual writing and into the worlds that excite me. Thanks for bearing with me during the admin grind—stories are coming soon!…

This week, I completed work on my four speculative fiction collections: Influenced, Outraged, Cancelled, and Muted. If you’d like a taste, you can grab a free collection at joncronshaw.com/optimised . I also returned to writing The Prince and the Fool (Ravenglass Legends, Book 4). It feels great to be back in the world of epic fantasy after a detour into short fiction. The story’s gaining momentum again, and I’m excited to see where it leads. On the publishing front, I’ve received two new covers for The Ravenglass Throne and am considering a pivot to releasing the series exclusively on Amazon—though it will remain Patreon-first for early access. Thanks for following along!…

In this week’s Author Diary, I’ve been continuing work on my Speculative Fiction collections, sorting through short stories and getting everything ready for release. The first collection, Influenced, is now available to pre-order on all major ebook platforms. It’s packed with dark, satirical tales that twist reality in unsettling—and sometimes all-too-familiar—ways. I also talk about watching The Residence, a fun and clever murder mystery set in the White House—highly recommended if you enjoy sharp dialogue and political intrigue with your whodunnits. Plus, don’t forget: you can download my short story collection Optimised for free at joncronshaw.com/optimised . #AuthorDiary #SpeculativeFiction #InfluencedBook #FreeShortStory #Optimised #TheResidenceNetflix #MurderMysterySeries #SatiricalFiction #DarkSpeculativeFiction #BookPreOrder…

Influenced is a series of dark, satirical speculative fiction tales, exploring twisted futures, sharp social commentary, and unsettling what-ifs. I'm really excited to share these stories, and this marks the start of more short fiction collections to come. Thanks as always for following along—plenty more on the horizon!…

It’s been a big week! I launched two new books: 🔥 Wyvern’s Shadow (The Ravenglass Throne, Book 2) ⚔️ Blade of Sorrows (Guild of Assassins, Book 3) On top of that, I’ve started work on Book 4 of Ravenglass Legends. I’ve made the decision to expand this into a seven-book series, with this fourth instalment serving as a mid-point in the larger story. While it’s not my bestselling work, Ravenglass Legends remains my passion project—a world and cast of characters I care deeply about. I’m writing it for the love of the story and hope readers will join me for the journey ahead.…

I’ve written several shorts with this character over the years, and I’m excited to finally have a novel concept that I’m really pleased with.

If you're enjoying the series, these are a great way to dig deeper into the world. On the viewing front, I watched Adolescence on Netflix—a gritty, intense drama that I highly recommend if you're in the mood for something powerful and thought-provoking.

This week, I finished the draft of Hunters—a gritty Space Western I’ve really enjoyed working on. I’m still undecided on what to do with it long-term, but for now, it may stay as a Patreon-only project. April is shaping up to be huge, with three book launches on the way: 📖 Forged in Blood – April 4 🐉 Wyvern’s Shadow (The Ravenglass Throne: Part Two) – April 12 ⚔️ Blade of Sorrows – April 17 I also wrote a couple of Guild of Assassins short stories, which I’ll be sharing on Patreon over the coming weeks. Plenty of exciting content on the way—thanks for following along!…

This week, I wrapped up the draft of Dragon Squadron (RAF Dragon Corps), and I’m thrilled with how it’s turned out. But with three book launches on the horizon—Wyvern’s Shadow (The Ravenglass Throne: Part Two), Forged in Blood, and Blade of Sorrows—my focus now shifts to prepping those releases. In this episode, I reflect on the many open projects I’ve got on the go and the importance of staying focused rather than jumping into something new (no matter how tempting!). It’s time to clear the decks before taking on the next big adventure.…

I’m currently 16 chapters in out of 24, and the story is shaping up beautifully—I’m absolutely loving where it’s going. In publishing news, Shattered Kingdom (The Ravenglass Throne: Part One) is now released, and Forged in Blood is officially up for pre-order! It’s been a busy but exciting time, with lots of new stories heading your way. Looking forward to pushing ahead with Dragon Squadron and getting these books into readers’ hands!…

This week, I completed a new novella in a new series and a new genre—alternative history/historical fantasy! I’ve been working on Dragon Squadron, a story set in 1939 England that imagines what if there were dragons in World War II. The novella follows Jim Ashford, a young man who defies his naval admiral father to join the elite RAF Dragon Corps. Bonding with Aether, a midnight-blue combat dragon, Jim trains for the coming war against Germany’s ruthless dragon breeding programme, where dragons are raised for aggression and their riders show no mercy. This story is deeply personal—I always wanted to join the RAF but couldn’t due to being legally blind. Through this book, I’ve been able to explore that dream in fiction, blending military precision with fantasy adventure. Chapters will be released weekly on Patreon, and the entire novella will be available to all patrons, including free members. If dragons defending Britain’s skies intrigues you, I’d love for you to join me on this journey. 🔗 Read the first chapter now: patreon.com/collection/1360827…

This week, I dusted off a project I haven’t touched since May 2023—The Chosen One, a heroic fantasy about a child of prophecy destined to defeat the Dark Lord…except the Dark Lord never came. Now 40, he abandoned his heroic destiny 20 years ago, but fate may have other plans. I also made progress on my Space Western, Hunters, writing a new chapter as I continue expanding that world. This month has been incredibly productive, averaging 5,000 words per weekday, putting me at 100,000 words for the month! On the reading front, I finished Alchemy: The Magic of Original Thinking in a World of Mind-Numbing Conformity, which was inspiring and full of fresh ideas. For audio fans, the audiobook edition of Shattered Kingdom (The Ravenglass Throne: Part One) is now FREE on my Patreon! Visit: patreon.com/joncronshawauthor I’ll be releasing the audio one episode ahead of the retail versions. Speaking of which, Shattered Kingdom is available for pre-order on all major ebook platforms for just 99c/99p, launching on March 12!…
