Author of The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & Wraith and the Revolution
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 […]
Exile ebooks are on sale! I know this is a holiday for many people, but I wanted to send out my weekly blog nevertheless. 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 […]
Guardian and The Next Leg of Andrew’s Journey This week I’m going to discuss a bit of traveling, in terms of The Caein Legacy and how it impacts the story in the series’ second book, Guardian. In Exile, the reader got to experience a few locations in Novania and its northern border with the Corodan lands, as well as […]
Exile was on tour! For those who follow my social media pages, you’re aware that Exile was recently on a virtual book/blog tour with Escapist Book Co. I’ve done a couple similar tours with them in the past, for both The Moon’s Eye and The Talisman of Delucha. Those were both fun and I got […]
The Cover Art Process: The Caein Legacy I originally shared some of this with my newsletter a few months ago, but I’ve decided to share it here too. 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. […]
The Caein Legacy: Dragons and the Dragon-kind As you’ve probably gathered based on my logo alone, I have a thing for dragons. And they play a big role in my upcoming series, The Caein Legacy. Or rather, one dragon in particular plays a big role. If you’ve been following my blog or newsletter for a […]
The Caein Legacy: Magic, Magi, and The Oracle What’s a fantasy book without magic of some form? The Caein Legacy is no exception, but the way I built the magic system for this series (and the related series The Mage War Chronicles) is different than what I’ve done in the past. Rather than have a […]
