Some quick good news first, and then the links to the second new release this week! 🙂 I got invited back to the Kentucky Book Fair in November. It will be wonderful to return to one of the best book events in the United States. Definitely something I am looking forward to. My new horror collection Hellscapes, Volume 1, is now available on Kindle and Kobo.  It will be available on Nook and iBookstore at some point today as well, but we wanted to get the live links out on release day.  The print edition will be available next week!

And now for something completely different, the second announcement of the other new release this week! 🙂 This one is in the horror genre, which will come as no surprise to those who know how much I love Clive Barker, lol (and how much I love Dante’s Inferno, Milton’s Paradise Lost, etc)  Just know that Hellscapes is very different from my other work.  The stories are very visceral, intense horror in style and theme.  Very timely too, as the two stories book-ending this collection involve powerful political figures who foment wars in foreign lands (Blood Dreams and Lords of War) … for both there isRead More →

Today’s the big day for the eBook release of Chronicles of Ave, my new short story collection featuring tales set in the world of Ave, which is the setting for most of my Fires in Eden series. There are six stories in all, including the novella-length “Winter’s Embrace”.  The stories are stand-alone, so you do not need to be familiar with the novels to get into these stories.  However, if you are familiar with the novels, these short stories will broaden your experience of the series, as many of them are about places, events, or characters that are referenced at some point in the series.Read More →

  My newest short story, “All the Lands, Nowhere a Home”, marks the debut of Rayden Valkyrie.  She’s a hard-hitting gal with an honor code, and I am confident readers of fantasy and sword and sorcery are going to love her! She’s going to be doing a lot more in the future as well, so you might as well make your introduction now! The story is included in Thunder on the Battlefield: Sword, which along with a second volume, Thunder on the Battlefield: Sorcery, are available today on Kindle and Nook editions. It will be available in print very shortly, in about a week andRead More →

I’m on my way to Mo*Con in Indianapolis today, where I have the great honor of being a Guest of Honor. Looking forward to it very much! But I wanted to be sure to leave this link to a new mega-post I did for Fourth Wall Friday at the Cabin Goddess! This theme blends the world of an author’s books with their own world, and this post has a serious theme that resonates strongly with the Rising Dawn Saga. I really think readers of my series will appreciate this post a lot, and for those that haven’t read the series, this will definitely give youRead More →
