Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
After the Move & “New” Books to Come! The past month has been a crazy one. We moved to our new place, work was incredibly busy for about three weeks, and we’ve had to make a few immediate updates to the new house before really settling in. In spite of it all, I’ve still been […]
Non-Human People in The Relics of War Shan’tar has acquired the Shalin Stone, and is determined to use its power against the gods as he plots to overthrow the Five Kingdoms. Another relic, The Moon’s Eye, is the only means to counteract it, but its whereabouts are unknown. The various peoples of the Five Kingdoms […]
The Relics of War and how the series came to be A long time ago, in a high school not so far away… Okay, I’ll stop with the Star Wars theme, because it has nothing to do with the rest of this post. I’ve been packing my collection of Star Wars art as we begin […]
The Great Announcement At least, that’s how it feels to me at present. I was teasing on social media for a while that I had a “big announcement” that would go to my newsletter subscribers first, and it did on June 26, 2021. Now I’m ready to share that announcement with the rest of the […]
Here Be Dragons (A Response to a Reader’s Question) I recently received a question from a reader, that asked “If you could choose to summon just one demon (from Hunted) – which one would it be – and why?” My answer was very typically me: A dragon. As I began to think over my answer […]
A Week of Fires, Maps, and a Book Release It has been quite the eventful week, and not just in terms of my writing projects. I want to start off with some non-writing news that is important to me. As many of you know, Colorado has had an awful year with wildfires. The Cameron Peak […]
Reader Question: When did you decide to become a writer, or is it something you’ve always done? It has been a few weeks (maybe longer) since I last addressed a reader’s question on my blog. As many of you know, I’ve been busy promoting Hunted, but today I wanted to take a break from that […]
The Caein Legacy is Complete – Now What? There’s a strange feeling I get when I complete a major writing project (and by major, I mean the completion of a series, not an individual book, although standalone books sometimes cause this feeling as well). On one level, there is elation, joy, excitement; I’ve just finished […]
The Hunted Journey My path to writing the novel that eventually became Hunted started somewhere around the year 2004. I was still in college, and was at the time working on The Talisman of Delucha. Between writing, my coursework in microbiology, my part time job, and everything else that comes with the life of a […]
Do any of your characters end up different than you originally intended? This week, I had a reader ask me, “Do any of your characters end up different than you originally intended?” My initial response was brief, “Yes, all the time!” I would like to take the opportunity to explain that answer in further detail.
