My second original novel, Journey of Brothers, is live on Amazon Kindle today!

I'm squeeing all over the place; gonna have to clean that up later.

Finally, my series, The Heir of Time, is actually looking like a series. Two books published in 2021 and book three coming in 2022.

Fantasy, alt-history, YA with more than a smidgeon of adult POV. It's set in an Ancient Middle East a bit twisted from our own, with different gods, different magics, and different geography but peopled by those of every race as we would find in that area.

Oh, and did I mention it's also peopled by my favorite characters from fandom. The names have been changed to protect the innocent!

You'll find a colonel and a geek, best friends and teammates.
You'll find Ascended beings of a sort, who struggle with interfering, and a blue-eyed chap who argues with them.
Many other characters might look or feel familiar - after all, I was a fanfic writer first and foremost. Still am. Proud of it.

Check it out over on Amazon if you'd like: It's on Kindle Unlimited and regular Kindle, Paperback coming soon.

And book 1, Child of the Scales, is still on clearance for another 24 hours (99 cents) before it goes back to regular price.

Journey of Brothers

Still posting my fantasy ya novel on my blog, up to Chapter 7!

Matthias knows what to do - and it feels good. But, why doesn't Abassa see the green?

Child of the Scales, Ch 7

I’ve decided to upload my original fantasy novel on my blog, chapter by chapter. I hope you’ll find it entertaining, something new to read as we continue through these times of Stay at Home orders, as our nation erupts in fear and anger and grief. As we each, in our own way, seek to serve and love others, I ask myself what I can do. What can I give? How can I promote love and peace?

Maybe writing fiction isn’t what anyone thinks of when considering how to help. But this is my gift – and my words are better coming through my hands than my mouth. Fiction has turned society on its head. Stories reach past stony fronts, dive in through barriers people raise against the truth. I’m not writing this year’s To Kill a Mockingbird - I don't reach that high - but my characters know about hate. About fear. Maybe it will resonate with you. Maybe Matthias, my young main character, and his family will ignite your love for others. I can’t expect anything huge like that, to be honest, but my meager offering is what I have to give.

It's an alt history fantasy, set around 30 AD in an alternate Mediterranean. It's YA with many chapters also from an adult perspective. It's a coming of age story, where we learn, along with my MC Matthias, how this world works.
