Frostworld Book 2: HONOR & IRON, is officially live on Amazon! Thank you to everyone for pre-purchasing the sequel and for those of you who’ve already left reviews. It’s fun to see this series come to life. It’s been rattling around in my head for years at this point, and I’m glad to see that it’s finally in the hands (and pockets) of readers.

Right now, HONOR & IRON is available in ebook and paperback. The audiobook will be available on September 21st. I’ve had an opportunity to listen to a ...

Hello friends!

I’m excited to announce that my newest novel, FROSTWORLD: ICE & BLOOD has officially released on Amazon and Audible! (it actually came out last week — I’m terrible at updating my blog)

This series has been in the works for a while, and I’m stoked that it’s finally live and in stores. It’s a GameLit epic fantasy series based heavily on Norse mythology (for those of you who don’t know what GameLit is, check out my other post here). The story follows Jarl Beckström, a lowborn f...

From the bottom of my heart — THANK YOU! Because of amazing readers like you, the Fall of Radiance series is a #1 bestseller and is currently climbing the charts of both Kindle and Audible.

For those of you who don’t know, I recently published the box set — 5 books for a limited-time deal of $0.99 (For audio, that’s over 50 hours of story for only a single credit). It’s been so gratifying to watch the journey of this series come to fruition. I particularly enjoy reading the reviews and co...

Hello friends!

I want to be more active on my blog this year, so here I am, giving you an update. I’m excited to say that things are now in motion. I’m shifting genres a little bit this year, although I’m still staying true to my sci-fi / fantasy roots. I will be delving into Gamelit, writing stories about characters in simulated, game-like worlds.

What exactly is Gamelit?

Gamelit is a newish genre of books that adds game mechanics to the story itself. Think Ready Player One by Ernest C...

Dearest readers and friends,

Thanks for such a great year. I know that 2020 has been difficult in a lot of ways (the dreaded COVID pandemic, lockdowns, politics, general unrest, etc.) but for books, I have to say… 2020’s been pretty awesome. I wanted to take a second a recap on my blog what I’ve been up to this year and tease a little bit what I have planned for 2021.

Fall of Radiance

This year featured a re-release of my first series under publisher Aethon Books. Five novels in the Fal...

At long last, my silence has ended.

It’s been a while (a year or more?) since I last posted, but good things have been in the works. My YA epic fantasy series—formerly called “Arc of Radiance”—has been officially republished under the banner of Aethon Books. It will henceforth be known as the Fall of Radiance series. Here’s the new logo:

But why the long silence?

Well, in addition to extensive edits and more than a few new chapters, audiobooks have been recorded for all five books. But here’...

Hi friends,

I wanted to post a rather important update about my books.

First of all, apologies for not posting on here very often. Between work, writing, editing, and everything in between, I find little time to update my blog. Nevertheless, I’m committed to keeping you in the loop and will try hard to establish a regular cadence moving forward.

I’ve told a few readers about this already, but here is the official announcement: I am going to be published by Aethon Books, a press dedicated to S...

It’s been a couple months since my last post. Sorry about that. I’ve been rather busy lately writing, working, and dealing with family matters. Regardless, I plan on establishing a regular cadence of posting on my blog

Wow. 2018 felt like a blur. A lot’s happened these last twelve months, but I’m confident in saying that it’s only the beginning.

This year was my debut year as an author. It’s been filled with ups and downs, sleepless nights and long, grueling days. It’s also been filled with many hard lessons and a profound sense of accomplishment. I published my first novel, Ranger’s Oath, in June, then went on to publish four more novels before the end of the year. I finished an entire series of books, the...

Greetings, friends!

Another month has come and gone, and we’re one step closer to the end of the year. What a crazy thought. It feels like yesterday that I started writing seriously, and already it’s been almost two years and seven books finished.

2018 has been a big year for me. It’s seen my first books published and my first reviews received. But I plan for 2019 to be even bigger.

But more on that next month
