Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
Character Profile: Colin Marsden My blog for this week features the latest character profile from The Caein Legacy, Colin Marsden, the primary antagonist of the series. Colin’s character was designed to be one that readers “love to hate”. When I was working on the design for the character artwork, my first rendition was shot down […]
The Science in my Fantasy Writing As some of you may have seen, I was invited to do an interview with Boomers on Books for their YouTube channel last weekend. I was approached for the interview last Friday, and we had everything set and scheduled to go live the next day. It did not give […]
Current Projects as of March 2021 It’s been a few months since I last posted an update on what I am currently working on, and I wanted to share a few things this week on the blog. The Mage War Chronicles I recently finished writing the first installment of The Mage War Chronicles, titled The […]
The Caein Legacy, Character Profile: Alexander At the beginning of February, I launched a poll on Facebook to help me determine which character profile to release next from my latest series, The Caein Legacy. The results came back with an overwhelming majority (75%) voting for Alexander (vs. 25% for Colin). Alexander is the primary supporting […]

A Little More About Exile It was about this time, one year ago, that I released an excerpt from the first book in The Caein Legacy, Exile. I spent much of my 2020 quarantine time working on the rest of the series, and it is now complete (four books). The process of querying for agents […]
The Writing Habit… I will be the first to admit that I have a (bad?) habit of ignoring things or people when I am focused on my writing. I don’t always realize how all-consuming the storytelling process becomes until someone calls me out on it. This morning was a perfect example. I woke up and […]
Here Be Dragons (A Response to a Reader’s Question) I recently received a question from a reader, that asked “If you could choose to summon just one demon (from Hunted) – which one would it be – and why?” My answer was very typically me: A dragon. As I began to think over my answer […]
Reflecting on 2020 On this, the final day of the year 2020, I suspect many people are reflecting upon the past twelve months, just as I am. I will concede that this year has had its trials—more so than most others I’ve experienced—but there have been some good things to come of this year as […]
Hunted: Two Months In It has been almost two months since Hunted was released, and I have had some great feedback on the book which I wanted to share with you all. I think my favorite response so far came over the past weekend, when one of my good friends called me. Before I could […]
