Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
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 […]
The Magi of Guardian Book 2 in The Caein Legacy is very much Alexander’s story, as told from Andrew’s perspective as his guardian. Alex has found his way to the Southlands and is embarking on his pilgrimage to become a mage. A number of new characters are introduced in Guardian, and many of them are […]
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 […]
The Caein Legacy’s Long History On May 24, 2019, I started writing something “new.” It was a story that had been brewing in my head for years, one that I’d started and stopped countless times, often with different characters featured as the main, but nothing felt right. Not until that date, anyway. There were several […]
Editing, Editing, Editing… I haven’t written anything new since January 2nd. It feels strange to have gone almost two months without typing out shiny new words for a never-before-seen story, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on anything. No, I’ve been editing an entire series from start to finish. Four books back to […]
“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 […]
