My Favorite Character Artwork (so far) from The Relics of War Continuing with my theme of characters from The Relics of War this month, I decided it was time to share some of my favorite character artwork that I’ve received (or commissioned) for the series.

The Side Characters from The Relics of War This is probably overdue. I’ve been posting bits and pieces related to The Relics of War trilogy since this time last year. You’ve been introduced to the main characters, the gods, the Councils of Magic, the non-human species… But I haven’t talked about the side characters. Every […]
The 7th – and Final – Character Bio from The Relics of War It has been a while since I last shared a character profile from The Relics of War, but I’ve been waiting for a reason. The first two books in the series have 6 distinct character perspectives. For those who have read the […]

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 […]
