Something I didn't draw too much attention to last year for a lot of reasons was my transition from writing part-time to writing full-time. It was a careful thing, done in stages, carried out with the full support of my then-boss. And it started September 1, 2015. As I think most people reading this blog can guess, it went well enough that most of those stages got jumped over and I was no longer even working part-time by the end of 2015. Since September 2015, I have launched five novels ... Read more »

New Children of Prophecy Cover
Thanks to the wonderful gentlemen at Rocking Book Covers, Children of Prophecy now has a new cover. A new paperback edition will follow shortly, with updated interior formatting and revised for typos identified since publication. An age in the past, the world’s two greatest Mages fought a bloody war to a draw that slew them both. In the time since, the Kingdom of Vishni has known quiet, and the Swarm beyond the mountains has grown in strength and numbers. Now, with the Time of Prophecy ... Read more »
When Words Collide & Move
We'll be going silent both here and on the Facebook group for at least the next ten days at this point. My computer will be packed up sometime today for shipment to Ontario, and we're not entirely sure when we'll be up and running on the other side.

If you are going to be at When Words Collide this coming weekend, I'll be ... Read more »

Mystery Project Unveiled: The Terran Privateer
Since completing Battle Group Avalon I've been working on a new project to help clear my mind a bit before returning to Starship's Mage for book four in that series. This is the one that's been labelled as 'Mystery Project #1' on this site so far (there are, for the curious, now four Mystery Projects.) and, since its now exactly one month from release, I figure it's time to unveil the mystery! The Terran Privateer (Book One of the Duchy of Terra) is an epic space opera in the vein of David ... Read more »
