It has been a very long time. I do apologize...again. The main thing is that I am still working on The Vale of Silence when I can. I do intend to get it out this autumn, although I'm very aware that I have said that a number of times before. I always intend to get… Continue reading Update: Where is the third book???
I've updated the initial post for the cover artwork for The Vale of Silence, but since that was something created over at the previous incarnation of this blog, I thought I'd give the latest front-and-back version of the cover a brand new post. The printed versions always come out darker than expected, so I try to… Continue reading Book Cover: In Progress (part 2)
In the midst of working on the book itself (which I can't share yet), I am also at work on the cover (which I can share, and so here it is): This isn't final, and could change drastically, but I'm happy so far. I may hate it tomorrow…or I may not. If you see any… Continue reading Book Cover: In Progress

A belated Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to all! I received a couple of unexpected gifts this year in the form of photos from people who were given a copy of either The Stone of Shadows or The Darkest Midnight. I hope they enjoy reading the books as much as I enjoyed seeing them out in the world.
The Darkest Midnight is now widely available! It's the busiest shipping season of the year, so I am still awaiting the arrival of printed books which I can take to Unicorn Gifts and Toys in Ashland, Oregon as well as sell directly through my publisher's website. I will also be letting Bloomsbury Books (also in Ashland) that… Continue reading Now Available
Finally, here it is in Real Life™ The text is in the hands of a trusted critic/reader, and with this printed-cover hurdle out of the way, now it's all about fine-tuning the story and catching goofs. I'm starting to update various websites with a December 01, 2014 release date, since sometimes it can take online… Continue reading Coming Soon!
Just a quick post in between chapter edits to say: I'll be participating in The Ashland Book and Author Festival on September 20th. It will take place at the Hannon Library at Southern Oregon University from 10:00am - 4:00pm and is completely free to the public. (Click the previous link for more information.) I will be reading from The Stone… Continue reading Ashland Book and Author Festival 2014
