As I mentioned in prior posts here and here, I’ve started to work on Desert of Stone, Book 2 of the Monuments of Stone series, and the sequel to the Island of Stone. As with most books, its writing is starting a bit slow as I get a feel for the characters and gather hintsContinue reading “The adventures of Stone continue”

Island of Stone new cover!
The Island of Stone has a new look! After much deliberation, I decided to change the cover of my first published book. The original cover will always have a place in my heart and looks great in person, but it just didn’t show well online. I created the design several years ago before the notionContinue reading “Island of Stone new cover!”

The Gates of Heaven are closed, and the key to opening them lies in the Tocharian Gospels, a collection of texts as old as history itself.

The Slaying of the Bull is complete (again)!
I’ve finally finished the Slaying of the Bull (Book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels series)! I know, I’ve said this before (here), but this time I’m certain. After some great feedback (more on that here) I had to do a bit more tweaking. It took a few weeks longer than I initially expected, but it’sContinue reading “The Slaying of the Bull is complete (again)!”
