To everyone asking: Yes, Thane is still alive, kicking, and actively being written. Balancing the "job that pays the bills" with the "job that feeds my soul" is a feat unto itself.

The current status? I am exactly three chapters away from the finishing the first draft. After that, of course, comes the soul wretching purgatory of endless rewrites and editing. So, don’t hold your breath just yet—but absolutely it is coming out this year.

As a tidbit, I am plumbing the absolute depths of Thane’s psyche for this one, so prepare yourselves for an emotional rollercoaster. It’s going to hurt, but in the best way possible. Your patience will be rewarded with premium fictional trauma.
