Celebrating Human Artists My social media feeds have been packed with anti-AI posts for months now, but I recently realized something. With all the discourse going on about how bad AI is for the environment, how it’s taking jobs, and hurting human creators, there have been very few posts in my feed actually celebrating those […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: My approach to dragons Love them or loathe them, dragons (and their kin) are a fixture in the fantasy genre. From ancient myths to Tolkien to modern authors, dragons are a recurring theme and something I think many people are fascinated with. I’m guilty of that fascination myself, and I’ve written my […]
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. While I’ve ironed out most of the issues I ran into early on, there are still so many things that can go […]
Huge News: You can now buy direct from me! I think the headline says it all, but I now have a shop on my website! You can buy paperbacks, hardcovers, or ebooks direct from me. No more going to a retailer (unless you really want to.) You can browse the new shop here! This has […]
The Caein Legacy Full Series eBook Sale: May 23 – 26! I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago that Exile hit a major milestone in April, and that I was planning something sale-shaped to celebrate. So, here it is! The Caein Legacy will be on sale starting tomorrow (May 23, 2025.) All series […]

The Worldbuilder Diaries: Technology This is a post I’ve been excited to write, but also one that I wasn’t sure how to begin. So let’s start with what I mean by “technology.” The standard definitions of the word are as follows: Looking at all of the above, technology can encompass anything from a hatchet to […]
Dragon shifters and why I write them As many of you reading this probably are aware, I wrote a certain series featuring a dragon shifter main character (The Caein Legacy). It’s epic fantasy/sword and sorcery, my go-to genre to write. But as I’ve learned, it’s something of an anomaly (in more ways than one.) When […]
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, […]
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 […]
