I'm Jacob Cooper. I write epic fantasy, and, when my wife can convince me, paranormal romance. We team write The Summer Omega Series.

Currently, I'm working on the Dying Lands Chronicle. Altar of Influence (prelude), Circle of Reign (book 1), Song of Night (book 2) and The Vanishing (a short story) are widely available. Book 3, BLADES OF ORWIAN, is underway. I was super stoked to wake up one day in 2015 to find Circle of Reign at #1 on Amazon and Audible in the Epic Fantasy and Sci-fi/Fantasy genres. Later that year, it won Gold for Best Fantasy in the international 2015 IPPY Awards. So there's that, I guess.

I actually just asked him through his Facebook page if I might be able to hire him. He had to check with the union, but it turned out there wasn't a problem to do an outside job. After doing a screening read of the manuscript, he agreed rather enthusiastically. In fact, he said something really humbling to me as a first time author: "I had to apply the Sanderson rule, which is don't start reading late at night because you'll be up until 3 am."

Hope you enjoyed the story. Working hard on Song of Night!(less)

It took me 4 years to write Circle of Reign, and another to get it ready for publication. I did not know the beginning from the end until I got there. In contrast, Altar of Influence only took 8 months to write. It is shorter, but the real reason is because the world was already built, foundations laid.
