Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
How Many Worlds…? This post was spawned from a question my husband posed. He asked, “How many worlds have you created so far?” one morning as we were getting ready for work. I didn’t have an immediate answer, other than to say, “A lot.” But it got me thinking… How many worlds have I created […]
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, […]
“Spooky” Themes In the spirit of Halloween, I wanted to showcase some of the spookier elements to my books! Some may or may not be considered spooky by some. The Nameless’ Return For those who have read even the first book in The Relics of War, you’re aware of the Nameless god. What you might […]
Hunted is 2 years old! October 20, 2020 was the release date for Hunted, my urban fantasy standalone. In the grand scheme of life, 2 years isn’t very long, but it feels like forever ago (and not just because of the pandemic.) I have learned so much since that book’s release. It was my first […]

St. Patrick’s Day in Seattle (2009) and Research for Hunted When I originally conceived the idea for Hunted, I decided to set much of the story in Seattle. One of my best friends had moved there a few years before my first trip there, and she’d explained to me a number of times that the […]
Character Relationships in Hunted and The Mage War Chronicles Continuing with my February theme, this is the last post I have revolving around character relationships. I’m lumping Hunted and The Mage War Chronicles together because Hunted is a standalone, and The Mage War Chronicles is still in-progress (I have the first 2 books written, but […]

I also posted my daily responses to my Facebook reader group. For those who don’t follow me on social media, I compiled all of the responses here for your reading […]
