I have a couple of blog tours up for sign-ups.  They take place the final week of October and the first week of November, for Hellscapes Volume 2 and Heart of a Lion, respectively. We are looking for book bloggers and reviewers to host activities ranging from interviews, reviews and perhaps other activities for these two week-long tours.  I really want to put a lot of effort into these two weeks, so if you know some book blogs, or are a book blogger yourself, please do have a look!  I want to make these fun and informative visits.  I really enjoy blog tours and amRead More →

I wanted to pass along the first review published for Chronicles of Ave, Volume 1.  I’m happy to report that the book received 5 Vampire Bites from Page Bites today, and the reviewer really liked the diversity in the collection of short stories (something I was particularly happy about, because I set out to have a distinct array of stories and settings in this volume). Here’s a wonderful quote from it: ” So if you like words that flow off the page, characters that will surprise you and stories that are filled with fantasy and creatures then this set of stories is for you.” Read the fullRead More →

As if the new short story collections, Chronicles of Ave, Volume 1, and Hellscapes, Volume 1, were not enough for a release week, I also had a new short story addition for the Annals of the Rising Dawn Collection!  Been quite busy this past week with these releases, but wanting to make up for some lost time this summer. . This particular story is a stand-alone, but readers familiar with the Rising Dawn Saga and the short story “Temples Rising” will discover some very interesting things within it!  It also has a very eerie relevance to world events happening today, especially with regard to myRead More →

Some quick good news first, and then the links to the second new release this week! 🙂 I got invited back to the Kentucky Book Fair in November.

And now for something completely different, the second announcement of the other new release this week! 🙂 This one is in the horror genre, which will come as no surprise to those who know how much I love Clive Barker, lol (and how much I love Dante’s Inferno, Milton’s Paradise Lost, etc)  Just know that Hellscapes is very different from my other work.  The stories are very visceral, intense horror in style and theme.  Very timely too, as the two stories book-ending this collection involve powerful political figures who foment wars in foreign lands (Blood Dreams and Lords of War) … for both there isRead More →

Today’s the big day for the eBook release of Chronicles of Ave, my new short story collection featuring tales set in the world of Ave, which is the setting for most of my Fires in Eden series. There are six stories in all, including the novella-length “Winter’s Embrace”.  The stories are stand-alone, so you do not need to be familiar with the novels to get into these stories.  However, if you are familiar with the novels, these short stories will broaden your experience of the series, as many of them are about places, events, or characters that are referenced at some point in the series.Read More →

  My newest short story, “All the Lands, Nowhere a Home”, marks the debut of Rayden Valkyrie.  She’s a hard-hitting gal with an honor code, and I am confident readers of fantasy and sword and sorcery are going to love her! She’s going to be doing a lot more in the future as well, so you might as well make your introduction now! The story is included in Thunder on the Battlefield: Sword, which along with a second volume, Thunder on the Battlefield: Sorcery, are available today on Kindle and Nook editions. It will be available in print very shortly, in about a week andRead More →
