What’s next? X Marks will be on hiatus until the next story is ready as I’m starting a new job. I’ve got some neat, shorter X Marks stories planned that I can’t wait to show you with new characters, new discoveries, and new trouble! I’ll also be tidying up The Unusual Map for a future self-published version.
