The Worldbuilder Diaries: Naming Conventions This is sort of a continuation of my last post of this series, Organization of Characters. Most characters have names, and oftentimes, those names will follow some sort of rule. Now, what those rules are can be entirely up to the author, especially with sci-fi or fantasy. They can based […]
Comparing Styles I don’t usually spend much time trying to compare my writing to other authors’ (which is probably why I’m terrible at coming up with comparable titles when asked to, but that’s a matter for another post.) No, today I’m actually considering stylistic similarities between my writing and another’s. This all started last year […]
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, […]

In Case You Missed It: Serpentus Cover Reveal! Yesterday was a big day for my upcoming standalone novel, Serpentus. I’ve had the cover artwork since August, and I’ve been dying to share it, but I decided to try an official cover reveal for this book to generate interest. A little background on Serpentus: It’s related […]
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 […]
Inside The Ballad of Alchemy and Steel This post was requested by a reader who wanted to know more about the writing process for my “sort of” prequel to The Relics of War trilogy. I wasn’t initially planning to write any other stories beyond the trilogy, but when I was in the middle of rewriting […]
