I’m extremely proud to announce the re-release of my first novel, 𝘿𝙖𝙬𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙤𝙨! It is now available on Amazon Kindle and from the Andarian Publishing bookstore, for a relaunch sale price of only $2.99 through January 8th. Pre-orders are also up wide on a variety of other online and international sites for release tomorrow, Friday, December 30th.

𝘋𝘢𝘸𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘰𝘴 is the first of ten planned volumes in the 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙜𝙖. Originally published on Kindle in 2017 and re-released this year as a serial of novella-length “episodes,” this new third edition is the result of several years of re-writing and honing my craft as an author. It will also be released in January in a 6″x9″ “groundwood” paperback edition through Ingram Spark. The fantastic new covers for both are by Alex Perkins of Perky Visuals.

I’m proud to announce the re-publication of 𝘿𝙖𝙬𝙣 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙤𝙨, Volume One in the 𝙎𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙎𝙖𝙜𝙖. E-book now available for pre-order, for release on December 30th.

A new constitution prepares Carlissa for an era of enlightenment. The harsh traditions of the past fade, and a promise of freedom stirs the air.

In the space of one terrifying day, that promise is shattered in a bloodbath of fire and magic.

Dawn of Chaos is a “compilation volume” that includes previously published titles. It was re-released in 2022, and is also available as, as a trilogy of e-books: Prologue to Chaos, Hell Gate, and Aftermath.

Dawn of Chaos was originally released in 2017 as an e-book on Amazon Kindle, but has been unavailable as a single volume for several years. This represents the rewritten and expanded third edition of that book. In addition to pre-order on most e-book stores, it will also be made available for early purchase from Andarian Publishing on or before December 23rd, 2022. The existing Amazon entry will be also re-listed for purchase at that time as well (which is why an Amazon pre-order link is not currently available).

It’s been a few months since my last blog post. During that time I’ve been very busy, both with some personal things, and with some ongoing but unheralded work to further my new career as an indie author and publisher. As of this afternoon, however, I’m finally able to announce some major news. Editing and file preparation for the e-book and “print on demand” paperback editions of Dawn of Chaos, the first of ten volumes in the Sanctum of the Archmage Saga, are now complete.

My only remaining tasks are to set up the “pre-order” pages for the releases, which I’ll be doing over the next few days. That’ll start with publishing the ebook on my website. After that both versions should be available through Amazon, Apple, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo. Aside from setting up the order pages, the only thing I’m still waiting for is the updated cover file adjusted for the paperback edition’s final spine width — which my cover artist, Alex Perkins, is working on now.

The print edition will be published on groundwood eggshell paper through Ingram Spark. The cover will be in “duplex,” with full-color maps on the two inside flaps. I’m also looking at options for ordering the print book through my website, which should be available in January at the latest. With luck, the rest should be available before the end of the year.

A follow-up post with the order pages will be following shortly. So stay tuned!

I’m pleased to reveal the cover for my next book release:
Sanctum of the Archmage: Dawn of Chaos!

Dawn of Chaos will be the first of ten planned compilation volumes in the Sanctum of the Archmage Saga. It will combine the three books of the Dawn of Chaos Trilogy —Prologue to Chaos, Hell Gate, and Aftermath—into a single, “door-stopper” length epic fantasy tome. It will be published in multiple forms over the coming months, including e-book, deluxe e-book with illustrations, 6×9 print on demand paperback, and audiobook.

The new cover for Dawn of Chaos was created by Alex Perkins of Perky Visuals. Thanks to Alex for his great work on this!

Watch for upcoming announcements as the new releases become available. And keep an eye out for the next volume in the series, Sanctum of the Archmage: Crucible of Heroes!
