Exciting News: My Publishing Journey Begins with Dark Matter

I’m over the moon to share some exciting news—a milestone that has been years in the making! I, Ian Bayly, have officially signed a publishing contract with Star Lore Publishing for my debut novella, Dark Matter: The Order of the Hidden Cross!

This achievement is nothing short of a dream come true. Writing this book has always been a passion of mine, and bringing this story to life has been an incredible journey. Now, to see it take its first steps into the world is beyond thrilling.
