But act now—ends tomorrow!

Dear subscribers, you're hearing it here first: my celebrated quartet, The Entire and The Rose, will soon be back!

Book 1, Bright of the Sky, has not been generally available for quite a while, but now the series is together again for the first time in years. Expect to see all four books in sparkling new editions as soon as November 1. First in eBook, followed soon by paperback and hardcover.

I'm still clearing the way for the reboot of a series that many of you have been asking for—so the launch may be postponed to November 15—but I'm really Hoping for sooner!

Watch here for my announcement of the launch day!

Though I was unable to retain the original covers, see the beautiful cover concept developed by Deranged Doctor Design!

A tale of high adventure and vast concept, replete with alien cultures, an exotic bureaucracy, and a man with nothing left to lose.

A series that reviewers have compared to Riverworld and Dune and praised as "a grand world," "an enormous stage" and "a bravura concept."

Thank you so much for your interest in my work and for your support. It really helps me keep on keeping on. Talk soon!

Report on book four of The Arisen Worlds quartet

I'm really excited about how the final installment, Keeper of the Mythos Gate, is going. At page 226, I'm a little over half way. I know how it ends, but so curious to see exactly how it all turns out.
