Dragon Thirst Series!
Thank you to all who signed up for either or both Dragon Thirst "Goodreads Giveaways!" 100 Mythos and 100 Legends were awarded in all!
I'm really excited about this series, and want to take a minute to explain why Dragons vs Vampires as a matchup you must read to appreciate...
The thought occurred to me while writing Aerouant, the story of a young boy bonding a dragon. Though petulant and full of vengeance at first, the boy only bonded a tiny dragon the size of a lizard. As the boy's worthiness grew and his motives slowly evolved to match his potential, the dragon grew as well.
Then I realized the story needed a better antagonist, one so terrible it had hunted the dragons to near extinction. That's when I shelved Aerouant, pulled it from Kindle Vella, and reworked the story into "Dragon Thirst Legends." After that, Kado's sister, Briaca, gave me a story to tell in "Dragon Thirst Mythos."
What grew turned out the most fun I've ever had while writing - a modern, urban fantasy, that also provides a foray into the Roman Empire and earlier times, as ancient myths and legends emerged unique to the world I had built.
Now it's time to dive in, to learn about ancient foes with divine ties and origins, locked in a battle that wages today. They walk among us, but Dragon Walkers like Kado and Briaca fight for humanity... and dragons.
I can't wait to see all of your reviews! Yes, I read them all!
Thank you for reading and, as always, for keeping writing fun for this author!

Andalon Attacks
The stunning conclusion of the epic pirate fantasy Dreamers of Andalon releases on December 8, 2020!
The action continues in Andalon with more sea battles, political intrigue, and a deep emotional bond with the characters.
I must admit that I am sad to conclude this series, but new opportunities are just around the corner! Our next series will continue the adventures of most of your favorite characters, as I begin work on Children of Andalon and a bonus origin story that explains how this world began!
As always, thank you for reading, and please reach out to continue the conversation. Andalon is more than a continent, it is a magical place full of possibilities for the unlikely heroes!

Andalon Awakens Update
I am excited to announce that on July 13, 2020 Andalon Awakens received a refreshing revision. If you have already downloaded the kindle version, please refresh that copy on your device.
With access to the newest version you will find that I fixed a few proofing errors that have been bothering me as a representation of my work. You will also be pleased to learn that I scrubbed the work for profanity to make it more available to a wider audience.
Thank you for everyone's input over the past year. I hope that you enjoy this version!
