Faeries VS Humans
In the far-off days of the 1990s, I wrote a horror story about a man who developed a taste for eating faeries, and how the faeries had to band together to bring him down.
I kinda touched on humans VS faeries again in a brief scene in my book Crow's Meal.
Apparently this is a recurring theme with me, so I thought: why not make it a feature-length story? This was the genesis of upcoming new book (presently editing): faeries VS humans (not the actual title!) Written from the faeries' perspective and scaled up to make it a larger conflict from the original concept, with all the lore and world-building that entails.
Basically, we follow a group of faeries who go from a peaceful forest-dwelling, cultivate-pretty-gardens kind of folk to a bunch of tiny warriors and mages in order to defend their home from human incursion. No Tinkerbells in sight!
I've had crazy fun writing it. It's not horror, eschewing the approach of my original. Instead, it's fantasy and probably as close to all-audiences as I will ever write (still violent and occasionally a bit ghoulish, though, so not for the young'uns). It was pretty great to write from the perspective of tiny, winged people rather than humans - really changes up and reinvigorates the action sequences, for instance!
In any case, I'm announcing it early, even though it's in its non-edited infancy, because I'm excited about this one and I believe in it. So if you like faeries, keep your eyes open for this one!

Cannonbrook: Wellfire Faeries Book 2
The now pre-orderable sequel to Nomad's Hollow, CANNONBROOK, is on track for a late spring/early summer release, so it's time to give readers a taste of what mishaps they can expect to befall our faerie friends!
If you're not familiar, in Nomad's Hollow, young faerie Jennet, having escaped the destruction of her home city at the hands of ruthless human invaders, is taken in by the residents of a subterranean town. There, she trains to become a caster using the powerful magic energy known as Wellfire.
When humans attack her new home, seeking this energy, she and her new friends are forced to defend it... the result of which sets up the first sequel, CANNONBROOK.
If you haven't read Nomad's Hollow, a SPOILER follows, so now's the time to check it out!

In CANNONBROOK: WELLFIRE FAERIES BOOK 2, Jennet and the people of Nomad's Hollow are seeking a new home, the fabled city of Trinithal. Lost in the forest with minimal direction, they are ambushed by a group of strange, ragged faeries.
Two of their number are kidnapped, forcing Jennet to stage a daring rescue. While on this mission, she discovers a colony of faeries living hidden in the human town of Cannonbrook, the leader of whom invites her and her people to join them.
Jennet and the faerie warrior Vett are divided as to whether to accept the offer, and the stage is set for a vicious faerie VS faerie confrontation in the heart of human territory! Will the survivors of Nomad's Hollow splinter into factions? Can the flightless poet Ambrosia overcome a new, devastating misfortune?
And... are all humans truly evil? Jennet may be surprised by the answer in CANNONBROOK: WELLFIRE FAERIES 2, coming soon!
