Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
Harbinger is now available! Harbinger is the highly anticipated third book in The Caein Legacy series, which will conclude in about 6 months with the release of Legend. And Harbinger is officially available! From one early reviewer: “A heart racing penultimate novel which delivers the action and bloody battle scenes just hinted at in book […]
Something I almost never do I’ve mentioned this before, but stress seems to induce a form of writer’s block in me. It’s not that I don’t know where my stories are going—I do. I’m a plotter by nature and everything is pretty well decided before I ever begin writing. The trouble is, stress saps my […]
The Corodan I have a thing for bugs. Not just the microscopic kind I study at work, but insects and spiders too. Some of you might not know this, but I very nearly almost went into entomology in college rather than microbiology. Bugs are cool. It was only natural that I featured them in my […]
All of my Main Characters I was bored recently and decided to make a list of every main character that has appeared in my published and to-be published books. This was a “just for fun” exercise, but maybe you’ll find it interesting too. So here they are, in alphabetical order: Andrew Caein Books: Exile, Guardian, […]
A few early reviews of Harbinger are in… No, I’m not going to copy/paste the reviews here, but I wanted to talk about a few things that have been mentioned regarding the third book in The Caein Legacy. They’re all positive things, and some came as a surprise to me, so I thought them worthy […]

Reflecting on… Colin This post is the result of a Fantasy Indies prompt from a couple weeks ago, where participants were asked to name their favorite book villains. I had a couple people mention Colin, which got me to thinking… What is it about Colin that makes him such a good (and memorable) villain? I […]
My Adventures in Worldbuilding There’s something about worldbuilding that is so immersive, so fun, that I keep doing it time and again. And I don’t mean just adding to the existing worlds and universes I’ve already written stories for. I keep creating more worlds entirely. I have too many ideas to cram into one literary […]
New Characters in Harbinger This week I wanted to talk about some of the new characters you’ll encounter in Harbinger, since it’s coming soon (May 28), and I took a pause from talking about The Caein Legacy to focus on Serpentus for a while. There are a number of familiar faces that make a reappearance […]
Sometimes it’s just hard Nothing saps my creativity like stress. Distractions I can work through, I’m perfectly capable of squeezing in writing time around family stuff, but when things get stressful in a bad way? All of my ideas may as well dissolve into the ether. To put it bluntly, February was a bad month […]
