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 […]
Reflecting on 2023 This year feels like nothing short of a whirlwind—the last half in particular. But let’s start from the beginning. I spent most of January and February editing The Caein Legacy, followed by a first pass of Serpentus. It was a ton of work, but completely worth it (and necessary) before I started […]

I’ll keep it short this week: Ebook editions of Exile are currently on sale at all retailers now through November 28, to celebrate the sequel’s pending release! Exile is $1.99 at […]

I think it’s especially important to share this now, given some of the artwork issues that have been cropping up in the publishing industry. I hired a […]
The Source of the ANTs (for Exile) A few months ago, I posted about ANTs (automatic negative thoughts), in part to help myself work through some pre-publication fears, but also because I thought some people might find the information helpful. As those who follow my blog or social media regularly are aware, the publication in […]
Some Writing Updates As usual, I have a lot going on with my writing, and it has been a while since I last posted an update. So here we go… Recent Releases & Upcoming Release Schedule: In April, I released an ebook bundle of The Relics of War. It includes all 3 books in the […]
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. […]
