Meet Verony TODAY! Find redemption with her and the Crimson League
She took part in a sorcerer’s coup, then changed her mind. Can she find redemption fighting with the burgeoning resistance against Zalski Forzythe? It’s pub day for Verony and The Conflicted Conspirator. I couldn’t be happier. You can find the book here. (Please note, if you have not read any of my other books, this…

Character Spotlight: meet Herezoth’s conflicted conspirator!
I needed time to get to know her and let her story unfold, but Verony (VER-oh-nee) Staid eventually became one of my favorite characters in my series. She is the protagonist of my upcoming release and ARC titled The Conflicted Conspirator: The Fight for Redemption. She is eighteen when the story starts. Physically, Verony’s most…

Some ideas for future projects
The Herezoth trilogy will not be the end of Herezoth. I don’t know which other projects I’ll pick up, but I have a bunch of possibilities of where to go next. First up, of course, is the prequel I have mentioned a few times. I have a draft of it, and I’m very happy with…

Prequel thoughts!
It’s been quite a while since I’ve physically worked on my prequel to the Herezoth trilogy, but after getting book three into shape, returning to it will be my next project, and I’ve been thinking about it a lot. It’s in the developmental editing stage–the first and deepest stage of editing that deals with story…

Audiobook update: I forgot how much I love Laskenay!
As I write this, I have most of the audiobook version of The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope in for proofing. (It is now currently available on Audible! If it’s not yet on iTunes and Amazon, it will be there in a few days). I listened to Chapter 28 yesterday, “Laskenay’s Tale.” (Learn more…

Character Spotlight: Darryn and Arbora
Darryn Polve and Arbora Anders are two of the major villains in The Magic Council: The Fight for Home. I wondered for a while how to approach this post, but I think I finally figured it out. What gave me pause is that as villains, they don’t rival Zalski Forzythe at all. But I realized…

Character Spotlight: Catching Up with Hayden Grissner
Hayden’s come a long way in the fifteen years since we last saw him in The Crimson League: The Fight for Hope. (Consider this something of a spoiler alert, if you haven’t read book one yet!) From humble beginnings as a commoner from a small village north of Podrar, with a penchant for hunting birds…

Patron Saints of the Crimson League
I’m Catholic, and as a Catholic, I believe that death doesn’t separate us from our older brother and sisters in the faith. Basically, I believe in the Communion of Saints–that we can ask the faithful who have gone before us to pray for us, just like we ask friends and family to pray for us.…

Thankful Thursday: Thankful for my characters who inspire me the most
I love my characters so much. They’re honestly like old friends, and they deeply inspire me. Well, some of them, haha. For sure. I love Lanokas, 1000%. His arc of growth throughout all three novels is incredible. I adore it. The way he matures, learns to step up, and does what needs to be done…

Character Spotlight: Kora’s Daughter, Kansten
Kora’s Kansten is such a fun character. She really comes into her own in book three, but she makes her first real appearance in book two. In many ways, Kansten is like her namesake from the Crimson League. She’s similarly sarcastic and direct, and can be brash. But she’s also her different. The first Kansten…
