Why did I think releasing a trilogy over the course of six months would somehow be easier than releasing a four-book series over the course of a year? 

Yeah, I don't know either.

Well, despite the challenges, Wavelord, the third and final book in my Daughter of Vanris series, releases today! Visit the book page here for more about Veyl's story and to read the first chapter of the book.

Let's celebrate the start of the Halloween season with a book release! (Yes, Halloween is a season.) The second book in my Daughter of Vanris series, Wave-Touched, releases today! Click the link for more about Veyl's story and to read the first chapter of this or any of my books.

If you're hiding from the summer heat, don't worry. You can still have a grand adventure! Wave Dancer, Daughter of Vanris #1, releases today!

I'm happy to have something fun to share for a brief break from a world full of chaos and unpredictability. Here is the cover for Wave Dancer, the first book in my new Daughter of Vanris series, set to come out on July 13th (you can preorder here). Once again, I got to work with the amazing Robert Crescenzio on covers for this series.

A few quick notes on this series. It takes places several years after the events of the Warden's Son series. Reading that series isn't a required point of entry, t...

I missed the cover reveal this time around, but with a move and a lot of other life changes going on, I'm just excited to announce that Throne of Vanris, The Warden's Son book 4, released on October 13th as planned. I know, that was several days ago. There is an explanation below as to why this didn't go out then (other than just my extraordinary procrastination skills).

It's here!!! The Warden's Son book three, Heart of Vanris has been released into the wild! I know I missed the cover reveal on this one. I'd like to say I planned that for greater suspense, but it was mostly a result of the way life likes to trick you into thinking everything is going to fall apart so you can be that much more excited when it suddenly comes together. Or is that just my experience? Haha!

The fourth and final book in the series is in editing now. I'm incredibly excited to share t...

It's here!!! I can tell you how happy I am to announce that the second book in The Warden's Son series, Blood of Vanris, has been released into the world. Book three is well into the editing process and almost ready for beta readers. I have a surgery on my ankle coming up at the end of the month, so maybe I can use that downtime to get through even more editing!

The book also has more spectacular cover art by Robert Crescenzio, and an updated map of Pandrea by Melissa Nash! (And a hopefully helpf...

Hello, my lovely readers and writers! I hope you're enjoying the arrival of spring!

What better way to welcome the season of growth than with the cover to The Warden's Son book two, Blood of Vanris! I'm very excited to share with you another amazing book cover by fantasy artist Robert Crescenzio.

I'm ridiculously pleased to announce the official release of my new epic fantasy novel, Child of Vanris! It is the first in the fully written The Warden's Son four book series. The other four books are in various stages of editing and cover art creation as I write this. If you are a fan of stories with coming-of-age, found family, and reluctant hero themes, this book checks all those boxes and more.

For those of you who don't know, I've been dealing with injuries to both ankles, one of which will...

Hello, my lovely readers and writers! I hope you're having a great holiday season!

What better way to open the month of December than with the cover to the first book in my new epic fantasy series coming out in January! I've been looking forward to sharing this with you all for a while now. As such, here is the cover for Child of Vanris, the first book in The Warden's Son epic fantasy series. Another fantastic book cover by fantasy artist Robert Crescenzio.
