Field Notes—April 2026

Hello Readers!

I just got back from wandering through Italy for three weeks (my favorite place to travel to in the entire world!) and I am very jet lagged as I write this. However, jet lag is a small price to pay for getting to visit and experience Italy again. I’ve been a few times now and I always return full of ideas. And full of pasta and gelato… but that’s neither here nor there.

Anyway, I had plans to announce some fun things while I was away, but my computer decided to break on my trip—the screen went dark and fuzzy—my plans were foiled, and well, here we are. A new computer has been procured (wow… that was expensive *cries*), and announcements are here this week as opposed to last week. Alas, some things I cannot control.

We’ve had two pretty big months at Euroclydon thanks to all of you guys! Seriously, we couldn’t do this without our readers. As I write this, we are at 111 purchases on Amazon, which is pretty crazy considering I never imagined we’d get past 20, and tons of KDP page turns (like thousands…). Plus, some of you guys are now ordering signed copies, which is pretty surreal for me tbh.

So, without further ado, here are some field notes for anyone keeping up with my news.

Side note: I have GOT to travel to Cape Breton to see if for real. I’ve been writing from videos and photos!

Update #1 — Camp Map 🗺️

We’ve heard you loud and clear, Campers. A map is forthcoming.

We are in discussions with professional mapmakers/cartographers to try to ensure a map is available either in Book 2 or Book 3. Ideally, Book 2, but it may take longer. Once we have it, the map will be featured in the book(s), on the website, and a few other places :). Of course, creating a map takes time. We want to make sure we’re striking the vibe/tone because this map will hopefully stand the test of time and be a part of permanent Camp lore.

Update #2 — Camp 2 Release Timeline 🍁

Ronan and the gang will return in Fall of 2026. We will be announcing more via email first (so make sure you’re subscribed) and then will follow on other platforms like Goodreads and YT. So… that’s big.

Update #3 — Camp Audiobook

We are doing our best to get an audiobook to those of you who exclusively listen to books. We’re about 1/3rd of the way done recording it and, wow, it’s NOT a small task. Shout out to all the voice actors out there.

Update #4 — Mirror Garden Announcement

I literally JUST pressed send about two hours ago on an email to all subscribers, but for those of you seeing this now, something is coming soon! Keep an eye on the blog, sign up for updates, and tell your friends.
