Serpentus
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, […]
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 […]
Serpentus is now available! Serpentus is my very-nearly-almost grimdark standalone related to The Relics of War series, and it’s now available everywhere. I want to thank everyone, but especially the beta readers and ARC team for this book. I know a few scenes were emotionally painful for me to write, but based on feedback, they […]
The Pain that is Serpentus I’ve talked about the emotions I try to convey in my writing before, but did you know that sometimes a book hurts me to write? Most of my books have a few of those painful moments. A character death, an injury, a betrayal… But in terms of absolute gut-wrenching, soul-destroying […]
The Relics of War (Series and Related Content) Timelines I’ve had a few people ask for the specifics of when Serpentus fits into the Relics of War universe, so I decided I’d write a post explaining the timelines of the series and its related content. Of the stories I’ve published so far, The Ballad of […]
The Inspiration Behind Serpentus I’d like to say Serpentus was the result of something profound, or an epiphany of sorts, but that’s not the case. The reality is simpler, if a little strange at times. If you’ve followed me or my blog for any length of time, you’re probably aware that I rewrote my Relics […]
The Side Characters of Serpentus You’ve already met the main character of my upcoming fantasy standalone, Serpentus: Owen Greenwaters. But what about the side characters, those who help him out along the way? Today’s post is focused on them. There are really three that need mentioning, as they have significant roles in Owen’s story. Aj’ana […]
Writing Research: Serpentus I almost always do some form of research while writing a book, and Serpentus was no different. But I found myself digging into a few unusual topics while I was working on it that I haven’t looked into before. War Hammers! I wanted to do something different than the usual sword-wielding knight […]
How Serpentus fits into The Relics of War series I want to start out by saying that Serpentus is a standalone novel, but it’s related to The Relics of War series. Serpentus starts at the onset of an event that occurs in chapter 40 of The Moon’s Eye. You know, right about the time stuff […]
Introducing Owen Greenwaters Unlike the Relics of War trilogy, Serpentus is written from a single viewpoint, that of a character only briefly seen in the final book of the main series. The reader encounters him there after the major events are pretty much over, but you know he’s been through some trials by then. Serpentus […]
