Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
A new project First off, some exciting (for me) news: I finished writing book 5 in The Mage War Chronicles and I decided on a title. It’ll be called Catalyst of the Storm. I don’t have a page on my website for Catalyst yet, but I have updated the series’ main page to include the […]
The Present A.I. Conundrum There has been a lot of chatter the last few months about artificial intelligence and its role in creative enterprises. Many people in the field (artists, authors, musicians, photographers, voice actors, etc.) are really starting to become nervous as more and more AI-generated content is released into the wild. And I’m […]
Exile is now available! On the anniversary of the date I began writing Exile (May 24), it officially published. Thank you to everyone who supported me and encouraged me to continue pursuing this path. I really, truly believed Exile was a story worth sharing, even after countless query rejections or non-responses. I love this story. […]
BookBub and My Recent Featured Deal I didn’t know about BookBub when I first published Hunted back in 2020. Honestly, I didn’t know about a lot of things back then, but I was determined to learn as much as I could about advertising and marketing. I’m still learning. I joined a number of Facebook groups […]
The Caein Legacy: Dragons and the Dragon-kind As you’ve probably gathered based on my logo alone, I have a thing for dragons. And they play a big role in my upcoming series, The Caein Legacy. Or rather, one dragon in particular plays a big role. If you’ve been following my blog or newsletter for a […]
Book Tour Recap: The Talisman of Delucha I did it again. Another book tour, this time for The Talisman of Delucha. As with the first, it was hosted by Escapist Book Co, and was just as much fun! The tour ran from April 3 – 9, and kicked off with a character Q&A session between […]
I Write Darkness I realized something about my writing lately. There is a lot of darkness, anguish, and sometimes downright disturbing stuff that appears on the pages of my books. I’ve never really considered my stuff to be “grimdark,” but I suppose there might be elements there (some books more so than others.) The term […]

ANTs… No, I’m not referring to insects, but let me start from the beginning. I was talking to one of my coworkers recently about my next book release. I’ll admit I’m more of a nervous wreck this time around than I was for the previous five. As I mentioned in a previous post, The Caein […]
The Caein Legacy: Magic, Magi, and The Oracle What’s a fantasy book without magic of some form? The Caein Legacy is no exception, but the way I built the magic system for this series (and the related series The Mage War Chronicles) is different than what I’ve done in the past. Rather than have a […]
