I like to think I’m a fighter, but sometimes, you must accept failure. I wouldn’t necessarily say any of my books are a “success,” but some are doing reasonably ok. They’re selling here and there, people seem to like them, and I’m seeing growth. That is all you can ask for as an Indie author,Continue reading “Sinking of the Bull?”

I’ve been writing novels for about 15 years now, but this is the first time I’ve written a sequel where the main character remains the same, and I have to say it’s quite refreshing. This would be Isa Malik from The Slaying of the Bull (Book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels Series) and now, TheContinue reading “Writing Isa”

The writing of the Power of the Heliodromus (book 2 of the Tocharian Gospels Series and the sequel to The Slaying of the Bull) is really moving now, but it was a bit of a slow start. I guess I didn’t comprehend the challenge I was taking on. Although I knew where I wanted theContinue reading “Heliodromus update”

My favorite part of writing historical fiction is finding the connections and weaving them together. It is also the part that takes the most time. Once the links are found, building characters, writing dialogue, and adding details is a breeze (well, maybe more like a sturdy wind). I tend to choose pretty obscure moments inContinue reading “Connecting dots!”

This may seem strange after proclaiming the birth of Alice in my last post (my main character in the Deserts of Stone, the sequel to the Island of Stone), but those who are reading or have read The Slaying of the Bull have begged me to start working on continuing the Tocharian Gospels instead. AfterContinue reading “Change in gears”

I just have a couple of quick updates. I received some great feedback from a Twitter follower about the book covers for my Tocharian Gospels Series. The person in question suggested that the covers have a unified theme. Looking back, I was trying to design each jacket to be unique, which was the wrong pathContinue reading “Tocharian Gospels Updates”

The Slaying of the Bull begins the epic Tocharian Gospels Series with a bang. A mysterious man, Isa Malik, tells an unbelievable tale of his youth. 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. Isa is chosenContinue reading “The Slaying of the Bull now available!”

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)!”

I tried my hardest to get the Slaying of the Bull (Book 1 of the Tocharian Gospels) out this month. It looked like it was possible, but now, unless there’s a miracle, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. Work got busy, the weather got nice, and I had some house projects that cameContinue reading “End of May updates”
