Catalyst of Control ARC Update

Hi Foresters,


I hope your new year is off to a great start. I wanted to give an update on Catalyst of Control and when you can expect to receive an advanced reader copy (ARC).


Here's the approximate timeline:


  • January–February: Finishing and editing the book. I'll be sharing more behind-the-scenes looks in the coming weeks.

  • March: The full book, after revisions and editing, will be released as an ARC to all Foresters.

  • April: Publication of Catalyst of Control

Hey Foresters. I just released a new video about my experience quitting social media for 30 days while writing Catalyst of Control. It gives a peek behind the scenes from a few months ago, including a little more about the book and its inspirations. Hope you enjoy.

Hello there!


I am Lucas, from, Uruguay. I love to read, write, playing the Ocarina and playing video-games, even if there's not much time for that lately.

Grayson's videos are a great motivation to keep writing when the self doubt strikes hard, and joined since Catalyst of Control sounds like a really exciting novel to read, and is a great opportunity to see Grayson's experience in practice.


Happy to be here, hope that you are all doing well!

Catalyst of Control Questions


What has been the biggest or most valuable thing you learned writing Catalyst of Controls?


If you can change one story element from the book that would change it completely, what would it be and how?


What's the most distinct characteristic of your characters' personality and why do you think lead them to be that way?

The most valuable thing I’ve learned from writing the book… Maybe patience? Four years is a long time to spend on one project (at least for me), so it’s been unlike anything else I’ve written in that respect.


If I could change one story element that would change things up completely (just for fun), it would be how it ends. No spoilers, but a different ending would have a massive ripple effect on the rest of the series.


The most distinct characteristic of my characters' personalities... for Kyrus, his distrust and desire for control over his life, which is rooted in his past, when he felt a total lack of control. Sparrow's is her brutal honesty, which comes from years of working as a scientist in a field where such transparency is required. Nari's is her carefree (and sometimes naive) approach to life, having grown up in wealth and security as the granddaughter of a powerful CEO. Javier's is his thoughtful, deliberate nature, which likely comes from years spent in solitude—whether in the lab or out in the real world. Zora's is her burning passion for justice and freedom from tyranny, ignited as a young child living through a war that tore her country apart.


Thanks for your questions!
