  I’m back . . . with really big updates

  Hi, y’all. I haven’t been good about coming around here. But I’ve been busy. At the end of last year, I wrote a first draft of book five. Technically, it was a rewrite of a really terrible, unworkable draft from 2012. It’s workable now, so I’m excited about that for the future. As for this…

  “Magic Council” Excerpt: Vane meets August

  Here is a fun excerpt that I read on my first Facebook live: Vane meets August. ***SLIGHT SPOILER ALERT.*** (Nothing beyond what you would see in a trailer) Again, nothing beyond what you would see in a trailer. However, if you don’t want to know what would be in a trailer, you shouldn’t read further…

  KIDNAPPED: read the final version of a scene from “The Magic Council” that I shared a draft of months ago!

  Ursa Hincken’s basement was sprawling and nearly empty. Moonlight filtered through narrow windows set high in a stone wall, making shadows dance with the stiffness of a crab and the passion of a pouncing lion. No actual crabs or lions called the basement home, but a friendly mouse lived in a barrel on which spiders…

  Important correction regarding: “The Magic Council”

  I just wanted to clarify that as I went to set the price of “The Magic Council to 99 cents for the kindle version, KDP would not let me do this for the 70% royalty option. That is only possible for the 35% royalty option. I had planned to set the kindle version to 99…

  One week to “The Magic Council”! Celebrate by catching up with Zacry Porteg and see what he’s been up to (excerpt!)

  Zacry is so much fun as a character. I like to joke that he desperately wants to be the main character, but never is. He’s twenty-six in “The Magic Council: The Fight for Home” and has become something of a scholar of magic history. When a letter comes in chapter one from the king telling…

  Character Spotlight: Prince Neslan, the Middle Child

  Prince Neslan is the middle of the king and queen’s three sons, a year younger than Prince Valkin. He is independent, more intellectual than active in his hobbies, and wise beyond his years. He was named after Neslan Dormenor of the Crimson League, and while he looks nothing like that Neslan–the prince has father’s blond…

  I’ve been quiet, but things are happening! I’m busy with projects for EVERY installment of my trilogy

  I apologize for my recent absence. I’m still figuring out what to do with this space, and I have been super busy. (If you do want to keep up with me, my facebook page is the best place for that. I am always posting updates and information there.) I’m excited to announce that I have…

  Sorry for the unannounced break, guys

  I’m sorry for an unannounced break. It’s been busy, and I’ve been really frustrated with the blog lately. I need to figure out how to make it work for me. Using it a blog isn’t working. I’m considering turning it into more a website, just for Herezoth stuff, excerpts, character profiles, reviews, updates on writing…
