Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
Inspiration from our Clownfish in The Mage War Chronicles I haven’t made it a secret that I’m currently writing book three in The Mage War Chronicles, or that the story is set largely underwater. The main character, Seren, is a Sevanni mage; his people are an aquatic species with human ancestry (the how and why […]
An Overdue Check-in Life has been busy. Work life. Writing life. Personal life. Well, maybe not so much on the third one, as the first two have taken up most of my time. I realize it’s been a while since my last “check-in” post. With all of the book-related content I have planned, I think […]
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 […]
2021: A Recap It’s been a busy year for me, and not only in the writing arena. But for me, busy is good. I’ve done more in the past twelve months than I’d realized prior to writing this post. I feel almost crazy thinking about it – but I’m also very pleased with all I’ve […]

Current Projects as of March 2021 It’s been a few months since I last posted an update on what I am currently working on, and I wanted to share a few things this week on the blog. The Mage War Chronicles I recently finished writing the first installment of The Mage War Chronicles, titled The […]
Character Names in The Caein Legacy and The Mage War Chronicles I have often been asked by readers how I come up with the names of characters in my books. Given that I write fantasy, some of my books have some relatively fantastical and unique names, though others feature characters with more average names. Note: […]
The Writing Habit… I will be the first to admit that I have a (bad?) habit of ignoring things or people when I am focused on my writing. I don’t always realize how all-consuming the storytelling process becomes until someone calls me out on it. This morning was a perfect example. I woke up and […]
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 […]
