I just began writing the 5th book of the Rising Dawn Saga, The Crimson Reign. It has been a little while since the 4th came out, but as I begin this book, I know in my heart that it is the right time for this installment.

The first 4 books tell a grand story that includes the efforts of a small group of very wealthy individuals, who control the largest banking and corporate levers, who are working assiduously to establish a global, borderless system of political and economic control. A pandemic involving an ebola-like virus is a big part of this plotline, and their global strategy.

It also involves a major confrontation between nations inspired by the USA and China, including military conflict, and a civil war within the USA-like nation. Also involves currency crisis and establishment of a new monetary, cashless system. Also the rise of an Antichrist-type figure.

All of it is set against the backdrop of a supernatural cosmic war, with many chess pieces being moved and put in place. It is multi-threaded, like the way Game of Thrones is written, because it has a richness of story and depth that grows with each volume and I know there will be a LOT of story to bring forth in this new volume at many levels.

It takes a lot of research and reflection to write books like this, but they contain a lot, as anyone who has read the first four can vouch for (and, might I say, they were finished years and years before 2020…). Definitely the right time and it is now underway….with 2 volumes after this to complete the series (The Dark Crusade and The Rising Dawn).

Onwards and Upwards. 😉
