New book Announcement!

I am so excited to announce the upcoming release of my new books. I know it’s been a while since I released my last series, but my writing has not stopped. At this time I’m happy to announce that I have signed a contract with Aethon Books to release The Augmented, a science fiction series that launches the World of Lumineia. In my other books it’s called the Dawn of Magic, but before it all, two krey brothers needed a refuge. They found Lumineia.

Book 1 is slated for release in e-book, print, and audio this coming spring, and is titled Empire of Ashes. Books 2 and 3 are scheduled to release a month and two months later, so you’ll get the first half of the series all together. In addition, these books are longer than anything I have ever written, so there is so much more story to tell. I cannot WAIT for these books to come out, and for readers to discover where it all began. I’ll keep you posted as we get closer with cover details, specific release dates, and everything else. Until then, feel free to check out Aethon Books, a publisher respected for high-quality science fiction. Get ready for a brand new ride!!

Big news

After working almost exclusively on the World of Lumineia for ten years, I’m happy to report that things are moving on a brand new series with a co-author, Chanda Hahn. I can’t reveal too much yet, but it’s been a pleasure working on a new universe. Don’t worry, i’m still working on the next instalment in the Lumineia story, and I’ll probably have an announcement regarding that in the next month or so. I am excited about both projects, and cannot wait to reveal more details as I get closer to a release date.

On another note, I’ve had several requests recently to post a more detailed timeline of my current Lumineia books, so if you want to read them in date order, I’ll have that up soon. Thanks for my readers who asked!

Upcoming books.

Over the last few years, I’ve written quite a few books in the World of Lumineia, but this fall things have shifted a little. I’m still writing the next Lumineia series, but I’m actually writing 2 series at the same time. After the scope of the Shattered Soul, I realized I needed to make sure I knew where the series was headed, so I decided to write two points in the timeline so I could make sure they connected correctly. I’m looking forward to giving those announcements soon, as well as a potential surprise announcement, but I can’t reveal that just yet. (It involves a co-author and a brand new universe) Until then, I’d love to hear what books I’ve alluded to that you would like to read. Feel free to message me on Facebook if you’d like to connect. Happy reading!

One Shattered Soul, Five Fragments of Power

With the recent release of the Fragment of Mind, there’s just one book left in The Shattered Soul series. Coming in June, the final book in this series is The Fragment of Power. I can’t even begin to express how much fun I’ve had writing these books. The fragments are all aspects of a single character, yet they are also distinct in their own way. Just be prepared, because the ending is not what you expect. This may be the origin of Draeken, perhaps the greatest villain in the history of Lumineia, but that does not mean every fragment is evil. Get ready for the last book in this series!

The Shattered Soul Series

I’m excited to announce the release of The Shattered Soul Series! This series takes place after the Age of Oracles and leads to the first Draeken War. As you have probably figured out by now, all my series in Lumineia have elements that connect into a broader universe, and questions have arisen about the krey, the Dawn of Magic, and the Eternals. While the Shattered Soul series will not answer everything, you will get your first real glimpse into the krey. Book one is The Fragment of Water, and comes out August!

Any Writers Out There?

Write Like a Boss Final Front.jpg

For anyone that doesn't know, I never set out to be a writer. I actually hated writing and English in high school. (Curse you grammar!!) However, over the last few years I've really gained a passion for the craft. I've toyed with the idea of writing a book on writing but never really felt like it was the right time. Then I met Honorée Corder and we set about writing a book on how to treat writing like a business. The result of that is a book titled Write Like a Boss. It's currently available on Amazon here, or you can get the first two chapters free on Honorée's website here

All writers know the challenges we face in the current industry, and this book lays out the secrets of how to convert your hobby into a business. Honorée is a renowned non-fiction writer with dozens of books to her credit. If you haven't read her work before, I highly recommend you check it out. And don't hesitate to reach out when you finish. 

Happy Writing!

 

 

The Lost Mage is Live!

I'm excited to announce that The Lost Mage is officially live! This marks the second instalment in the Age of Oracles. If you read the Rogue Mage you know the ending, and are likely itching to see what Alydian will do now. Trust me, it's worth the wait. Here's the description:

The oracles have always been the guardians of peace. Now they are the heralds of war. After a century of planning, their strike is swift and brutal. In a night of upheaval the kings and queens are cast from their thrones, their kingdoms replaced by a Mage Empire. The people are quick to resist but freedom lies in the hands of an outcast.

Hunted by soldiers and assassins, Raiden retreats to a final refuge. As he prepares his last stand an unexpected ally arrives at his door. She may be poisoned, but she is far from powerless. Together they will build a rebellion that will defy the Empire. As the world prepares for a mage war, one oracle is noticeably absent, and rumors abound as to her fate.

Betrayed by her oracle sisters, trapped in an anti-magic sphere, Alydian rots in solitude. Each day she fights despair and madness, and plots her escape. With her magic bound, even she believes she is helpless. But such power cannot be shackled. When it is unleashed Alydian will break mountains.

And the oracles that betrayed her.

You can find the Lost Mage here. Happy reading!

Ten books for Two dollars! The Big Boxed Set is live! http://amzn.to/2eM0Puj

I've been wanting to do this promotion for some time, and here it is. This Second Draeken War BIG Boxed Set has three series and ten books, and this week ONLY it is discounted to $1.99. Actual value is almost $30,00, so this is a steal. I wanted to give my readers a chance to finish some of the other series if they had only read one or two. Pick it up now while you can! Here's the description:

This BIG boxed set contains ten books across three series, The Master Thief, The Second Draeken War, and the Warsworn. Compiled for the first time into one set, this omnibus edition includes character crossovers and legacies, where one event impacts the fate of a different series.  The thief, the warrior, and the hero, all have a hand in the war.

 

The Master Thief Description:

The Thieves Guild is renowned for their ability to steal anything. Its elite members have robbed nobles of wealth, reputation, and even their honor. The Guildmaster rules them with brutality and fear, yet his name and past are a mystery. From the depths of the Evermist swamp he seeks a master thief, one who can help him reclaim his lost power.

Young and brash, Jack Myst has drawn the Guildmaster’s attention. His feats mark his potential, but his audacity and cunning make him dangerous. After years of preparation an invitation from the guild is exactly what he desires. When he gets it his hunt begins, and there is nothing he cannot steal.

Even the Guildmaster’s secret.

 

The Second Draeken War Description:

The assassination of heroes was once a warning—for an invasion that nearly destroyed the world. On the brink of total victory, the black horde mysteriously vanished, leaving terrified survivors . . . and rumors. As the centuries passed, the holocaust faded into legend, and finally myth. But death is stalking heroes once more, and the ultimate army has already been unleashed.

The only hope lies in destroying the source—before all life is extinguished. Fate has chosen Elseerian for the impossible feat, but as he embarks on the harrowing journey the invasion must be delayed. With time as their only weapon against extinction, the elves issue a desperate call . . . for every race to ally. Facing annihilation, many will realize that survival lies in unity, courage sleeps in ordinary citizens, and average people can turn the tide of war.

 

The Warsworn Description:

Forged for combat, the rock trolls have no equal. They train from birth, endure brutal conditioning, and mark their skin with every kill. They have become the very flesh of war, but their history of honor has been forgotten. Now a bounty has been issued, one which calls for the extermination of their race. To survive they must awaken to what they have lost, before their enemies begin to gather.

Born in the midst of a bloody conflict, Tryton bears a heart of peace. His talent will command respect, but his nature is the true weapon. To wield it he must rise to lead them all—without sacrificing his soul. The fate of his people lies with him, but the seeds of destruction have already been sown.

And the harvest has come.

 

The Rogue Mage is Live!

The Rogue Mage is officially live! This title marks the 17th entry in the world of Lumineia, and the first in the Age of Oracles. Can't wait to hear what you think! Here's the book description: 

With all of magic at her command, Alydian is born to power. She and the other oracles serve the people, guiding kings and commoners with their ability to know the future. Yet despite Alydian’s power she cannot foresee the coming betrayal, for a rogue mage lurks in their midst, and plots an alliance with the mighty guild of Verinai. Under the guise of benevolence the Verinai offer their magic to all, while their expanding reach is noticed by none.

Except the Soldier.

Branded a traitor, wanted for murder, the mysterious man is no ordinary bandit. For six years he has hidden behind a mask, hunting Verinai with his band of Defiant.  But now his war is about to escalate, for he has targeted Alydian to send a message, that even an oracle can be killed. Beset by foes, Alydian will require more than magic to survive, for if she cannot change her future . . .

She will fall to her fate.
