Now that I’ve finished the first draft of the fourth book in my Absolution of the Morning Star series, I thought it was a good time to reflect on and examine what I have created thus far. Welcome, fellow traveler, to the world of Lucardia—a realm where legends whisper through ancient forests, secrets linger beneathContinue reading “Unraveling the Absolution of the Morning Star Series: My Journey through Darkness, Light, and the Shadows Between”

The first draft of the Destiny of the Daystar is complete!
I planned to wait until Friday to post this, but I couldn’t contain it any longer. I’ve completed the first draft of Destiny of the Daystar (book 4 of my Absolution of the Morning Star series)! I pushed hard this weekend, writing a whopping 14,000 words in three days, and typed “The End” a littleContinue reading “The first draft of the Destiny of the Daystar is complete!”
Destiny of the Daystar- 100k words down and sample chapter!
A few days ago, I crossed the 100k mark for Destiny of the Daystar (book 4 of my Absolution of the Morning Star series)! As I’ve said before, I always consider this a major milestone in any writing project, and usually, after this point, the book writes itself. After a very productive week, my actualContinue reading “Destiny of the Daystar- 100k words down and sample chapter!”
Update- Destiny of the Daystar
Just a quick update this week. I continue to write more than I ever have. In my last post, as of October 3 (Thursday), I reached 45,636 words in Destiny of the Daystar (book 4 of my Absolution of the Morning Star series). As of last night (10/12), I reached 87,474! That’s 41,838 words inContinue reading “Update- Destiny of the Daystar”
Writing and the illusion of talent
I’ve been writing. No big surprise, I know. But I’ve been writing a lot—record amounts, in fact. I wrote over 15k words this week alone—more than 2k a night (which, for me, is 6 pm-8 pm). The last time I wrote like this was Dawn of the Lightbearer during the pandemic. I love it. ThereContinue reading “Writing and the illusion of talent”
Destiny of the Daystar awakens!
After nine months away, I’ve jumped back into writing Destiny of the Daystar, book 4 of my Absolution of the Morning Star series (AMS). I paused on January 12 at 22,059 words to rewrite Koen, the prequel to the series that Grendel Press will publish in 2025, and then to work on a project theContinue reading “Destiny of the Daystar awakens!”
Good news and bad news
My preference is always to get the bad news first, so here it is: Koen: Quills from the Raven’s Nest has been delayed and will not be released on September 22nd as initially planned. I apologize if you were looking forward to the book. It’s a bummer for me, too. After seeing the cover onContinue reading “Good news and bad news”
The first reader
Well, my wife has started reading The Novice of Thanatos. She is always the first to delve into my worlds. I am still very much in the weeds of editing and polishing, and it would have been nice to wait a month before sharing a more complete draft, but she’s on break between semesters (gettingContinue reading “The first reader”
Dawn of the Lightbearer book trailer
I received a great response to Koen’s book trailer (found here). If you checked it out, I hope you enjoyed it, and a heartfelt thank you! It instantly became the most-watched video on my YouTube channel, which made me ambitious. So, I decided to produce one for Dawn of the Lightbearer. It came out reasonablyContinue reading “Dawn of the Lightbearer book trailer”
Check out Koen’s book trailer!
I spent the last three days putting together a book trailer for Koen, and I’m pretty proud of it. You can find it here (give it a like and leave a comment). It’s not perfect, and if I had the time and resources, I could do better, but I created this one entirely from free,Continue reading “Check out Koen’s book trailer!”
