On August 31, I will release The Dragon and the Fiend starter bundle, which brings together The Ever Fiend and The Dragon Gate, the first two books in the Talon Stormbringer books and The Dragon Gate Series. It’s available in Kindle Unlimited, too. Grab a copy today!
I just got the new cover for The Ever Fiend! This replaces the five-year-old cover I did myself for this book. It wasn’t bad, especially given who created it, but it was time to upgrade this.
It makes me more excited to be returning to more Talon stories this fall. Stay tuned!
The Light Bringer (The Dragon Gate Series, #2) has been published today! This ones features all four characters all the time just like the first, but Anna faces more serious troubles in this one than the others. You’ll also get some more information about the Ellorian Champions and find out what Soliander is up to now.
Get It Now!I just got the new cover for The Dragon and the Fiend (Series Starter Bundle)! This brings together the first book in The Dragon Gate Series (The Dragon Gate) and the Talon Stormbringer books (The Ever Fiend).
Stay tuned for when I release!
The Light Bringer (The Dragon Gate Series, #2), is complete and will be published on May 25, 2021. I already have a lot of ideas for The Silver-Tongued Rogue (The Dragon Gate Series, #3), and have already written about 8,000 words. Work on its cover will start next week.
Get It Now!
With The Dragon Gate (The Dragon Gate Series, #1) released this month, I now have titles for the next four books in the series. The order of these may actually change and already has once:
The Light Bringer
The Silver-Tongued Rogue
The Majestic Magus
The Dragon Slayer
Each title is the nickname of one of The Ellorian Champions that the main characters are impersonating. The intention is for each to feature that character more prominently on the cover, anyway, and they may play a bigger role in the book, but the intention is to still split point-of-view between all of them.
I’m currently working on outlining books 2 and 3 and will be writing book 2 by January. I just ordered covers!
The Dragon Gate (The Dragon Gate Series, #1) has been released! It is available in eBook, paperback, and hardback. I’m not sure when and if audio book will be done, so stay tuned.

The Dragon Gate (The Dragon Gate Series, #1) is now scheduled for release on December 1, 2020.
I hired a conlanger to create the magic system language and I just got my first sneak peak the other day. It is looking great and is called Nu’Eiro. You’ll have to read the book to see it in action.
You can pre-order the book now!
