Hi Elden! That's correct. There are five books planned for the Barbarians series. Without spoiling too much I can tell you that book four is about Sigmund. He has stayed close to Caesar Julian and his story is closely tied to Julian's. I'm planning to get that book finished and out in 2023. The Fifth book will see many of our old heroes return and will be intertwined with the plight of the Vandals on the Danube!

The old recording played. The last Kauaʻi ʻōʻō sang, but none of its kind were left to hear.

Seeing Space X launch Elon Musk's personal Tesla Roadster toward Mars on the Falcon Heavy blew my mind. I knew that I had to write some science fiction about humanity's future in space.

By reading! Every time I read an awesome, moving story I just want to write even more!

My primary writing project right now is a sci-fi adventure story set five-hundred years in the future on a distant world. I am also going through the final stages of the editing process for Ima, the third book in the Barbarians of Rome series which will be published in the next few months. I recently finished a first draft of a novella about dreams that will hopefully be ready for publication by the end of the year. I have found an illustrator who is working on new covers for all my books. Finally, I am working with a voice actor to create an audiobook version of Ulrich, my first novel. That will be done this year as well.

It doesn't have to be perfect. You will get better as you write! The important thing is to just start writing. Try to make your writing time structured because it's better to write something than nothing at all.

Writing itself! Sitting down with my laptop and letting the characters decide where the story goes next. Hearing from fans is a very close second though!

I deal with writer's block by having two or three outlines prepared and if I really get stuck on one story, I switch to another for a little bit.

I would go to Trantor of the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov and learn psycho history from Hari Seldon!
