Author of The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & Wraith and the Revolution
Writing Update I haven’t posted a general update in a while, and I figure I probably should. I don’t even remember the last time I made one that covered my current writing projects (the ones not currently in the queue for publication, that is.) So, here we go… The Mage War Chronicles I have finally, […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: How does the main character fit into their world? Building all of the aspects of a fictional world is one matter, but when it comes to specific characters and how they fit into that world? That’s another beast entirely. I put a lot of time and thought into this aspect of my […]
Wraith and the Revolution is available for preorder! I announced this on my social media channels earlier in the week, but in case you missed it, Wraith and the Revolution is now available for preorder (ebook editions only, for now. Paperbacks and hardcovers are still in process, but should be available for preorder sometime in […]
Serpentus is on sale! February 27 (today!) marks one year since Serpentus was published. I’ll be the first to admit I did a subpar job of marketing what I believe is one of my best stories to date, prior to its launch. I had a lot of stuff going on outside of writing (health stuff, […]
Thoughts on Writing an Ace Main Character I went into writing Wraith and the Revolution with two objectives in mind. First, it was going to be a standalone, no matter how difficult it is for me to rein in my tendency for writing series. And second, the main character would be aro/ace. A lot of […]
Some Thoughts on Writing Kye’s Sibling Dynamics Let me preface this post with a little something about me: I love writing sibling stories, but most of the time, the main character is the oldest (like Andrew) or a twin (like Chandra.) It’s pretty rare that I write a younger sibling as a main character, and […]
Kye Verex and his genetics (and mine) When I first outlined Wraith and the Revolution, I didn’t know how to make it so that Kye was basically stuck on his home world. I needed some reason for him to be both ineligible for space travel and desperate enough to accept the heavy-handed contract he was […]
1st Person vs. 3rd Person: Choosing a Perspective The idea for this post was prompted by a recent review I got for Serpentus, in which the reviewer mentioned they don’t typically like 1st person POV books in fantasy (though they liked how I wrote mine, yay!), and went on to say that Serpentus needed to […]
Wraith and the Revolution Cover Reveal Yesterday marked a day I’ve been waiting on for about ten months. I finally shared the cover artwork for my upcoming science fiction novel, Wraith and the Revolution! But in case you missed all the social media posts, here it is: About Wraith and the Revolution Synopsis: Kye Verex […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Languages and Communication I wouldn’t say I have anything that unique in my stories by way of languages or communication methods, but I do have a couple things worth highlighting. Disclaimer: I’m not a linguist by any means, and while I know a tiny bit of Spanish, it’s not really enough to […]
