New Novel Project Announcement!

Hey Everyone!

I am happy to announce a new novel, I will give everyone the project name (the final title might differ on release at this point). The project name is The Last Prophet. The novel takes place in the darker but not too distant future here on earth. The end of the age is coming and God has appointed a very unlikely soul to be the final prophet to the people of earth. The story follows this person (more details to come) as the events that lead up their appointment as a prophet, and the events that follow.

I will periodically post updates on this project as I continue to work on it. I am playing around with the idea of publishing this novel with the help of Kickstarter. I will need to do some extra research to get this novel written in a timely manner, and that will be difficult with my “day job” alone. The novel will be taking place in another country (Not the US where I live), and since I’ve not actually been to the country that it takes place in I could really use help to set the scenes (I’ll talk more about where it takes place later).

This book is planned to be of similar length to my other novels but with the extra research involved, it will likely take longer to write. I want to make sure I accurately depict the locations, and people of the region, and as such extra care will be taken. I can write much quicker about entire worlds I envision in my mind, but since this takes place on earth; the best way to see it is to actually visit it! Let me know via the poll below if you think I should try to use kickstarter to help publish this novel.

April is here!

Hey everyone!

April is here, and with in comes more spring like weather and of course Thunderstorms (I live in Ohio).  I am hoping that this season brings lots of good things with it this year! Last week it had been a year since The Crystal Seal was released, and a full month since The Candescent Vessel came out. I have been working on getting things organized for Book three in that series (the final installment in the sage of Hytrae trilogy), as well as an entirely separate novel, that I will release more details on next week! So stay tuned!

End of March Update

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend.  We visited some family we rarely get to see which is always a nice treat.

I would like to thank everyone who has purchased The Candescent Vessel over the past month. This book has sold about as many as the first one did in the first month. As always I appreciate the feedback I’ve been getting, and I hope more people will have the chance to purchase one or both books soon! 😀

I plan to have some more news early next week, so stay tuned!

New things coming soon!

Hi Everyone!

With The Candescent Vessel being released, gears are moving for the next book… or books!

I’m happy to say that soon I will be posting an official announcement about a new project I’ve mentioned but not talked much about. I will say that it is a story taking place here on earth in a not so distant future. Don’t worry, I am still working on The Sage of Hytrae’s final installment in the trilogy. More to come soon!

The Candescent Vessel releases in one Week!

Hi everyone!

I’m excited about the release of The Candescent Vessel next week. It will be the second book in The Sage of Hytrae Trilogy. If you haven’t had a chance yet, it would be a good time to check out the first book (The Crystal Seal) as well!

Keeping things going

Hey everyone!

I’ve been moved around on my work schedule, this has made it more difficult to stay on top of editing. The editing of The Candescent Vessel is still going and I still plan on getting it out on time, but I don’t have the artwork ready to show everyone this week. I can say that we are sticking to the same overall “Style” of the first book, but less blue and more Yellow… You’ll see what I mean.

Anyway, there are actually two prospective book covers I am creating.  I hope to have a (brief) voting period over which one should go on the published copy. So stay tuned for that opportunity! 😀

The Candescent Vessel Update

Hey Everyone!

Things are going good with the editing process. The book has been in the very helpful hands of my bug squashing team. Everything is on track for our Feb. Release date (2/16/16). I hope to have the artwork finished for The Candescent Vessel soon. I have been working and tweaking on the artwork for some time but now that the book is really going forward I need to get that caught up. Once it’s done you might notice some changes here and on Facebook, so keep an eye out for those updates. Thanks for reading!

The Candescent Vessel Release date!

Hey Everyone!

I am excited to announce, I have a release date set for Tuesday, February 16th, 2016. The Candescent Vessel will be available on that date from online retailers, but it might take some time for all of them to have it listed. As with The Crystal Seal, I will post links to retailers once we are closer and after the release.  I hope everyone had a safe and good holiday season. See everyone soon!
