Several Heir of Scars novel and game projects are in the works. Details on all will be forthcoming, but here are some brief details...

Heir of Scars II

Although there has been some time since the last release, Heir of Scars II will continue with Coin of the Fathers.

(Spoiler alerts for those not current with the story!)

These chapters will continue Adria's journey in Kelmantium, the land where the War of Scars began. In Heiland, Mateko and Preinon must rally the...

I'm very excited to have a beautiful new cover for Ghosts of Heiland, the first part of Heir of Scars I.

Adria is at a turning point as the series begins, and Vanessa Bettencourt captures the feeling of isolation, even other-worldliness so well here.

I am hard at work on new Heir of Scars projects, as well. Watch out for some exciting announcements in the coming weeks!

Hello, everyone!

This is a very exciting part of the storylines began in Spires and Mountains -- or in Book I, for Adria...

The Imperial throne of Somana remains empty. While the heir's family plot to maintain their power, forces within and beyond the city plot against them.

In the wake of his victory, Kirlin Gerard is stripped of his titles and cast into the underworld of the...

"I was absolutely captivated. . .I am a traditional archer, bow hunter, and an avid naturalist. I found it very difficult to put this book down and stayed up way too late several nights. I finished the book exactly one week after starting it and was left wanting more. I spent the majority of my days thinking about Adria and imagining life among the Aesidhe. Not once did my enthusiasm drop, even the least, through the entire book from the ver...

Day Three: The Remainders

Okay, let's lead with the video montage. Vanessa took quite a lot of pictures, and her compilation and commentary (not to mention the cosplayers themselves) deserve top billing.

We finally started an mailing list. Yes, we knew we should have one from day one, and a couple of helpful exhibitors reiterated it very insistently, but since the app I made for it hadn't worked out for two days in a row, it wasn't until the third that we re...

Day Two:Learning Hyperbola

Saturday was the day in very many ways. It was longer by hours, but went so much faster. There were periods where no one stopped to look at anything on our table, but then suddenly we would have several turning back to point at one of Vanessa's wolf prints, which then gave us the opportunity to talk about the book.

We learned quickly what worked and what didn't, and got the rhythm down between us.

"It's an epic fantasy with a str...

Day One: What was the Plan?

Keep expectations low. That was the plan. Measured. Cautiously optimistic at best. Just a couple of boxes of the new Heir of Scars I paperback as centerpiece, flyers and business cards, plus maybe a couple of things that Vanessa decided to make, like a tic-tac-toe game of white and grey wolves.

And a few bronze necklaces with spirit animal pictures.

Oh, plus a few dozen art prints of cover art, and forty-one different styles of boo...

“Every time I read one of the books from this series I think the Author can not possibly pull me further in or move me more with his words . . . He has opened up a world that I would truly
love to be a part of. Introduced me to a people that I would find joy and happiness to be with.”
