I'm aiming for a late spring/summer of next year release but depending on the editing process and when Ms Sousa is available to complete my cover art it could be pushed back to fall. I do promise it will be worth the wait :)(less)

I write fantasy, so I take the basics of the world as I know it (i.e physics, chemistry, biology, psychology, etc.) and use them as a basis for other things. If you read carefully, all of the magic in my book has a scientific basis behind it (or close to it). But while I try to avoid reinventing physics, I can also play around with the world I'm creating. It has two moons, thirteen months, a 26 radian (or hour) day, and magic. For me, being a writer allows me to experience events and circumstances that, living in this world and this life, I never can. Maybe I'm not an optimist, but writing a scene through a character's eyes that is forces me to view the situation, not as I would, but as someone else might.

Secondly, and maybe most importantly, as a fiction writer, it means I'm not bound by earthly events and forces of nature. If I want to write a fantasy involving magic I can. If I want to invent new worlds and time travel, I can do that too. (less)
