The Camel Corps plays a pivotal role in Destiny’s War. Marion has traveled with the Camel Corps on several operations, reporting from the front for the London papers. He joins Ben and the 2nd Battalion under Major Basset, another legendary leader, and friend of TE Lawrence.

What I found exciting in writing Destiny’s War is the history; the people, the places, and actual events. The Camel Corps is an interesting part of military history. Its ...

Constructive criticism is sometimes hard to hear, especially when it is aimed at your own creative work. While I did not create the cover, I did approve it.  I have heard back from several, who have offered a carefully crafted criticism of the cover. My thanks for not being heavy-handed with your comments. 
The new cover comes with a new facelift and fresh look for our Facebook page.

I am also working on the new updated Assassin Awakens cover, while also finishing the final edits.



It should be u...

Music is such an integral part of our lives. I frequently listen to background music when I read, which is mostly classical music. The type of classic music greatly depends on the topic and book I am reading, creating an atmosphere, helping me become immersed in the book. Destinys War background music needs to pull the reader into the story.

After writing and reading (and re-reading many drafts) of Destinys War Saladins Secret, I began creating a playlist of...

First, Happy Birthday Jace, whom the series is dedicated to.

My apologies in the delay of Assassin Awakes, I had hoped to have it released before the summer. Unfortunately, real life and this virus situation has initially slowed progress.  I have received a few emails from you eagerly awaiting the fate of Marion and the battle of Mar Musa. To provide some clarity, Assassin Awakes is already written, as is the entire series in draft form. What does take time is the research and editing. The...

Destinys War audiobook is released! Finding the right narrator to bring the story to life is not as easy as one would think, especially for Destinys War, due to the period and rich dialogue. There are amazing narrators out there, but finding the right one was a bit of luck with some trial and error. When I first heard David Sweeney-Bears Dune and Hitchhikers Guide, I knew he was the one. Davids narration, coupled...

I hope everyone is doing well under these difficult times amid the Corona Virus.  I have tried to keep-up with the news and reports about the virus and found some interesting history on the Spanish Flu, which happens to date back to the time of the Destinys War series during World War I.

History is doomed to repeat itself, so it is sometimes worthwhile to take a look back to see what they did right and wrong.

Marion’s journal refers to a gift [Omega Watch] he received from Gertrude Bell in December of 1916.

I received the most wonderful Christmas gift from G.B. [Bell], an Omega officers watch. Signal Corps was printed on the face. She made an amusing comment, I was her Signal Corps.

The watch was a gift from Ms. Bell to Francis Marion “Mare” Jäger. It seems it was initially issued to the US Military Signal Corps. How Ms. Bell obtain the watch is unknown.

Azrak is located in Jordan, approximately 100 miles east of Amman, the capital. The official name is Qasr al-Azraq, which literally mean “Blue Fortress”.

The large ancient fort was built by the Romans in the 4th century. Its location held strategic value as the Azrak oasis is one of the sources of permanent fresh water in a thousand miles. It is thought the name “blue fortress” was derived due to the abundance of fresh water.

The fort was rebuilt and fortified in 1237 by the Ayyubid dynasty,...

Destiny’s War Part 1: Saladin’s Secret is going through the final touch-ups for the initial eBook, book, and audio book launch in January.  Meanwhile I am working diligently with the editors on finalizing Part 2: Assassin Awakes for a launch in March after the initial release of Part 1.

I have already received several requests from those who have read Part 1 for a copy of Part 2 (note: available as a Advance Review Copy at NetGalley). Encouraging to know there is interest to learn more about Saladin’s Secret and the afte...(note:
