I reached the finish line! Today, I completed my final passes on the manuscript of Rise of the Voyagers, Book Two of the Faraway Saga, and it’s off to the editing phase! I loved how this novel turned out! The writing of this book involved around 110 full writing sessions across five months (not counting a considerable amount of research), and I worked hard to deliver a book that springs from the foundation of Dream of the Navigator and takes the reader on a thrilling, imaginative adventure. So many amazing things rose during the process of writing of this novel, and I can’t wait toRead More →

I have been meaning for awhile to give an overview of where everything is at, in terms of my writing projects that are ongoing or complete and in the editing/publishing pipeline, so, today, here it is! Writing has been going very well over the past two years, and I’ve been very focused on completing new installments in each of my primary series. At the moment, I am working on the second book in the Faraway Saga, Rise of the Voyagers, the follow-up to Dream of the Navigator. Currently, the word count on the manuscript is just over 66.4K, so it is well over halfway doneRead More →

The Crimson Reign, Book 5 of the Rising Dawn Saga, is finished and now goes to the editor! This one involved over 150 writing sessions, of 3-4 hours or more, and is at about 195K words, putting it close to the length of The Undying Light. I started writing it early last December and put every ounce of effort into it to make certain it is the best installment of the series yet, a real thrill ride with loads of action and character development. This is a true cross genre series with its blend of apocalyptic/dystopian/science fiction/fantasy/paranormal/horror and even some mystery elements, and I tookRead More →
