Hi, followers! I have great news. It’s news I’ve been working on for 15 years or more.

When I was 12 years old, I was assigned a project at school—write a short story. I loved this project, because I loved writing stories (I still do, obviously.)

My humble short story was entitled Enemy on the River—about the son of a lord in the Middle Ages who, in a Hamlet-esque twist of fate, found his father dead at the hands of a trusted friend. In another, Lion King-esque twist of fate (because truly, how different are Hamlet and The Lion King, really?), our hero runs off into the forest, where he befriends a misunderstood outlaw.

Little did I know that I was laying the groundwork for my debut novel, Vispilio.

This cross between Game of Thrones and Robin Hood is sure to delight fans of George R.R. Martin, Patrick Rothfuss, and Joe Abercrombie.

A stolen crown. Stolen memories. A legend reborn.

Antony Bronson has never known his past—as far as he knows, he’s the second son of his father Bron and has lived an unremarkable life in the village of Barnswood, other than a fateful fall from a tree that caused him to lose memories. But when rumors of a lost prince—the Prince Adrian who was supposed to have died in an act of war ten years before—begin to surface among the kingdom of Southborn, Antony begins to wonder if he’s been told the truth. So does Adelaide DuMont, the girl who had been destined to be the prince’s beloved, and Sir John, the hated son of the former king’s advisor. As Antony discovers his true identity, so does King Tanor, who will stop at nothing to make sure his crown is secure. To some a prince, to others a pretender, Antony must forge his own destiny—as the true king of Southborn, or as an enemy of the people. A thrilling adventure of political intrigue, royal drama, and a romance as old as Robin and Maid Marian.

I’m so excited to announce that Vispilio will be available wherever you buy books on January 9, 2025 in both physical and digital formats. (Stay tuned for more information on an audiobook version!)
