The Mirror of Rorrim—New Release Date!

Yay! *confetti* Isn’t that awesome?
I’m trying to distract you from the fact that I’m delaying the release date for Beaumont and Beasley Book 3. Is it working? No? Drat.
Here’s the thing—I’m having kind of a crazy month. I just got back from a business trip, and so I’m behind on everything, including The Mirror of Rorrim. It’s going well, but I don’t think I can properly manage the launch in my original Halloween timeframe. Which is kind of a bummer, because a Halloween release date would hav...

NaNoWriMo 2017 Announcement—The Clawthorn Rose!

I’m still hard at work preparing The Mirror of Rorrim for its Halloween release, but I’m also looking ahead to National Novel Writing Month in November.
NaNoWriMo. So. We meet again, old friend. This time I shall vanquish you and dance upon your remains! BWA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA…
*ahem* Sorry, where was I? Oh yes, my project for next month. I’ve picked The Clawthorn Rose, the prequel to The Beast of Talesend that I announced a while back. Though I have it outlined (he said laughingly, using the wo...

Character Interview–Zephryn Nightstalker from “Lawless” (by Janeen Ippolito)

I’m doing something a little different this month. Instead of an Indie Author Interview, this is going to be an Indie Character Interview! Though “Indie” in this context is not meant to imply that the character himself is independent; just the book. An autonomous, independent character could be scary. Than again, so can indie authors.
My interviewee today is Zephryn Nightstalker, the secondary protagonist of Lawless by Janeen Ippolito.
Here’s the synopsis:

As the Autumn Leaves Change, So Doth My Author Platform

OK, so I’m not William Shakespeare. Blog post titles are hard. Stop judging me.
Never mind the ill-advised poetry. The point is, I’m making some tweaks to my branding and my author platform. Lately, I’ve been going over my tiny little indie publishing empire with a fine-tooth comb, looking for things that need to be expanded and things that need to be cut back on. I want to prioritize the stuff that’s most important for me and for my readers. So a few things are going to be different from her...

Book Review—Lawless by Janeen Ippolito

Dragonshifter Kesia Ironfire has one goal—to redeem her past by serving the cruel dragon Pinnacle as a soldier in the dragon-human war.
Then a rogue mission to spy on a new airship explodes into sickening green smoke. The same mysterious green smoke that was present the night of Kesia’s crime. When her dragon overlords deny any involvement, she and her tactical partner Zephryn Nightstalker try to investigate–and are sentenced to death.
Still searching for answers, Kesia and Zephryn flee to th...
