Author of The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & Wraith and the Revolution
I’m going to stop talking about The Mage War Chronicles for a while… Since January, I’ve been revising and rewriting the previously-drafted books in The Mage War Chronicles, which is a series I will definitely publish one day. But I need to stop talking about that series here for a while, because it is not […]
The Mage War Chronicles: A Status Update I’ve been working through The Mage War Chronicles again, but this is the first time I’ve looked at more than one book in succession. I think I mentioned earlier in the year (January maybe?) that I was planning to work through this in-process series while I have the […]
Typos, Glitches, and Postal Fails: The Unexpected Quirks of Publishing a Book At this point in my authoring career, I’ve published 10 full-length novels, 1 novella, 1 short story, and now, an anthology.

Some authors never look at their reviews, and that’s definitely one way to cope with the negatives. But there are others whose curiosity […]
Survivor (A Wraith and the Revolution prequel story) In the summer of 2024, while I was still on medical leave after my surgery, I had a lot of time to write. And because I wasn’t terribly active during that recovery period (doctor’s orders), I had even more time than usual. And write I did. The […]
