Author of The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & Wraith and the Revolution
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 […]
The Impact of Character Deaths I have seen so many memes revolving around this topic, and a lot of them make the author out to be something of the bad guy. But here’s the thing: Sometimes a character’s death is necessary for the plot. Yes, it hurts to read about it, but it also hurts […]
My Book Plans for the Foreseeable Future I have plans. So. Many. Plans. Some of my plans have been shared, but some have not, and it’s been a few months (May?) since I last wrote an update post. It’s past time. Release Plans War of the Nameless is scheduled to release December 6, 2022. This […]
Reader Question: Is there a character from your books you would not want to meet in real life? I received this question from someone in my Facebook group a few weeks ago, and while it at first seems straightforward, my answer is a bit complicated. There are a few reasons why I wouldn’t want to […]
A Little Celebration Post I’ll get this out of the way first: No, this doesn’t have anything to do with SPFBO8. As of the date this writing, I still haven’t heard anything about my book or how it’s faring in the competition. It hasn’t been eliminated, but that’s all I know. No, I’m celebrating something […]
Themes in my Writing The more I write, the more I’ve noticed I gravitate toward certain themes in my stories. It’s not always intentional, but I’m beginning to see patterns from time to time. Sibling Rivalry Gone Wrong This has come up a couple of times, in different forms. The first instance was in Hunted, […]
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 […]
