Cover reveal day for Path of Shadows!

The cover has arrived for PATH OF SHADOWS, the sixth book in the A Tale of Bone and Steel series.
Shawn King of STK Kreations continues the outstanding look of the series, building upon the first five books. Shawn has created each of the covers in the series and the continuity certainly helps to bring a cohesive appearance.
In PATH OF SHADOWS, we get to see Sanchere D’Alikar on the deck of a ship, preparing for battle as fire swirls around him. Foreshadowing action from the novel? Perhaps! Be ready to continue the adventure when Path of Shadows is released later this week.

Between the Pages – August
My outdoor writing space is very inviting.
Where has the summer gone? The August edition of Between the Pages was sent to subscribers last week, and I am just getting around to posting about it here.
For those of you who are not subscribers, Between the Pages is the reader group’s monthly letter. In the Chatter section, I share news of what is happening with current books and series, event announcements, cover reveals, free giveaways, and behind-the-scenes peeks at what I am working on for new books. I also answer any group questions.
The Book Nook is the book review section. This month the book was The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter. Finally, the Back Page portion is where we talk about food or drink related items. This month I shared a favorite recipe for the summer grilling season. The most important thing to remember is that the Back Page was added because of suggestions from this group, making this as much about what the readers want to talk about as to what I find interesting.
If you are not a subscriber and would like to be involved with the reader group, just click on the “Newsletter” tab above. Right now, just for signing up, you will receive a free copy of The End is a Beginning, a prequel short story in my A Tale of Bone and Steel series.
If you are a subscriber and did not receive your email, please use the contact form on this website, and I will send one to you immediately.
Thank you and happy reading!

The added bonus this month were a couple of photos of our horses, including one of my daughter training her competition horse in dressage. I’m a father. I’m allowed to be proud.
