Hello Friends!
I know…it’s been a while. I’m sorry. What can I say…after spending much of the past year and a half focused on editing first The Penitent Assassin and then The Rush of Betrayal: Deception (Book One), I needed a little time away to spend with my family. The kids are growing so fast and I wanted to make sure I spent some time with them while they still thought I was cool. (So far, a...

“Has it ever occured to you, Master Ninefingers, that a sword is different from other weapons? Axes and maces and so forth are lethal enough, but they hang on the belt like dumb brutes. But a sword...a sword has a voice.
Sheathed it has little to say, to be sure, but you need only put your hand on the hilt and it begins to whisper in your enemy's ear. A gentle word. A word of caution. Do you hear it?
Now, compare it to the sword half drawn. It speaks louder, does it not? It hisses a dire threat. It makes a deadly promise. Do you hear it?
Now compare it to the sword full drawn. It shouts now, does it not? It screams defiance! It bellows a challenge! Do you hear it?”
― Joe Abercrombie, The Blade Itself

Despite a crazy life schedule, I'm finally making some serious headway on the final edits for The Rush of Betrayal: Absolution (Book Two). I'm eager to finish this book and start work on my next book - a sequel to both The Penitent Assassin and The Rush of Betrayal books. Have a great day - and Happy Reading!

Wishing The Penitent Assassin a 'Happy Birthday'. My 'baby' is one year old today. It's hard to believe it has been a whole year since I published it. Wow. I guess it's true what they say - time flies.
