New Book Announcement Coming VERY Soon!

Posted on August 13, 2020 by admin

It goes without saying that 2020 has been a strange and, often crazy year, but as I always say, you have to do all you can to keep moving Onward and Upward. I haven’t had a lot of new updates as the pandemic mess wiped the calendar clean of conventions, book fairs, and all kinds of events that are central of the author world.

The good news is that I have been able to maintain a very steady writing schedule, and I recently completed a major project that I think many readers are going to be excited about. I have also made great progress on some novella-length projects, one featuring Ragnar Stormbringer and another featuring Rayden Valkryie, so there will be some cool new releases before the end of the year.

Keep your eyes out for more details, which will be coming very, very soon!

A Great First Event of 2019 in Vevay, IN

Posted on February 5, 2019 by admin

I had a great time this past weekend at my first 2019 event in Vevay, IN at the Community Art Center of Switzerland County! I love going to this venue as it is first-class and has a great atmosphere for visiting with readers.

It is relaxed and laid-back, and very conducive to having great conversations, which is what I like about these kinds of events the most. I can really visit with readers individually and spend time with them.

Had the amazing Robb Hoff stop by too (he’s 2nd from the right). He’s a supremely talented author and is very supportive of authors and events in the area. Definitely check his stuff out, I recommend it!

Got to do my first signings of the new Rayden Valkyrie and Ragnar Stormbringer compendiums. These two books really go well together! It was great to display them side by side for the first time.

Already looking forward to my next visit to Vevay!

Synopsis of When the Cold Breathes: There are times when the cold breathes.

Settlers from Ragnar Stormbringer’s homelands are forging a new world in the far north, building villages where the icy lash of the winds is a reminder of the dangers lurking within a harsh wilderness.

A season of great peril has fallen upon them. A fearsome predator stalks and hunts the settlers in the deep snows. As the deaths mount and terror spreads among the populace, Ragnar’s help is sought to confront the unknown menace.

Taking up his legendary axe Raven Caller, Ragnar heads into the falling snows. He will soon find that the myths told in the region have more than a little truth dwelling within them.

What lies in the cold embrace of death and darkness can awaken, breathe, and gaze through eyes of spectral light.
