Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
An Update on my SPFBO 8 Entry… Well, it’s not really an update, as I’m still waiting to hear from the review team that has The Moon’s Eye. But I’ve had so many people ask how the competition is going that I felt obligated to post something. As of the writing of this post, the […]
My Favorite Character Artwork (so far) from The Relics of War Continuing with my theme of characters from The Relics of War this month, I decided it was time to share some of my favorite character artwork that I’ve received (or commissioned) for the series. Enjoy! Vardak This didn’t come from any particular scene, but […]
The Side Characters from The Relics of War This is probably overdue. I’ve been posting bits and pieces related to The Relics of War trilogy since this time last year. You’ve been introduced to the main characters, the gods, the Councils of Magic, the non-human species… But I haven’t talked about the side characters. Every […]
The 7th – and Final – Character Bio from The Relics of War It has been a while since I last shared a character profile from The Relics of War, but I’ve been waiting for a reason. The first two books in the series have 6 distinct character perspectives. For those who have read the […]
The Talisman of Delucha is now Available! The Talisman of Delucha officially released on Tuesday! It’s book 2 in The Relics of War series. A synopsis: Ravin is an anomaly amongst those who use magic. He refuses to join the Council of Auras and tie his fate to the wizards, and long ago escaped a […]
A Little Celebration Post I’ll get this out of the way first: No, this doesn’t have anything to do with SPFBO8. As of the date this writing, I still haven’t heard anything about my book or how it’s faring in the competition. It hasn’t been eliminated, but that’s all I know. No, I’m celebrating something […]
A Second Excerpt from The Talisman of Delucha “Do you believe the gods knew our paths would lead here?” Jal’den asked quietly after a time. “I can’t help but think I was destined to be here, to experience this black despair. There is no other reason Blademon would have chosen me.” “Jal’den—” “Throughout my […]
Themes in my Writing The more I write, the more I’ve noticed I gravitate toward certain themes in my stories. It’s not always intentional, but I’m beginning to see patterns from time to time. Sibling Rivalry Gone Wrong This has come up a couple of times, in different forms. The first instance was in Hunted, […]
Writing Every Day A common question I see posed to authors on various social media outlets is, “Do you write every day?” I believe the theory of writing every day stems from advice/craft books popular with fiction writers. It’s sound advice – if you can find the time to fit in a bit of writing […]
Inspiration from our Clownfish in The Mage War Chronicles I haven’t made it a secret that I’m currently writing book three in The Mage War Chronicles, or that the story is set largely underwater. The main character, Seren, is a Sevanni mage; his people are an aquatic species with human ancestry (the how and why […]
