Catching up before I fall into the third book. #fantasyseries #grimdark #goodfantasy
So, The Gate of Fang and Thorn is done. Finished. We published 7 days ago, and now it’s time to move on to the next project. Yup, Book 3 of the main series; The Gathering of the Blades.
The two Novellas we planned for the year are done. The purpose of them is to deepen the main series and expand the breadth of its scope. They are designed to be standalones, but at the same time, connect back to the main series. They bring our side stories to life, but do not necessarily hold to one fantasy ...

3 Questions about Chaos
Happy 2019! After the holidays and the launch of Book 2, we finally have a chance to sit back and catch our breath. The response is positive thus far, but some questions have come up. So here are three question about Chaos answered.
We left some plots unresolved in Gates of Golorath. It’s a series after all and one book just isn’t enough to tie up plotlines. Because it is a very long story, there will be cliffhangers, and things will get parceled out in small increments as we move along. This...

Ruminating on Angels
How Now Folks,
I’m nearing the end of the second draft for book 2, Angels of Perdition. Just adding in some elements to the middle section that I missed on the original run through. We’re shooting to begin the first major editorial pass by the end of the month. In those moments where I’m staring at a blank page trying to corral my thoughts, I’ve notice something; The act of creation for the second book is different from the first. I don’t mean procedures and methods; I mean in terms of findin...

World Building Pt. 1
How now all.
So, a question that comes up an awful lot is, “how do you create the world you write in?” The answer is fairly simple (though a bit involved); All writer’s world build, even if they’re not aware they’re doing it, and each does it a little differently.
For this post, I wanted to examine what world building is. We’ll get to how it’s done at a later time.
World building is the creation of a unique and specific environment for the character(s) to move through. At its heart, this is t...

Blog update – April 2018
Hey all,
So, I’m chugging along with Angels of Perdition, filling in the missing parts at the beginning and in a way, starting the story. Most people I talk to look at me strange when I make a statement like that; the common assumption is that a book is written the way that it is read. Unfortunately, it is not. I actually wrote the middle part first, then went forward and wrote most of the end, and then worked on the beginning. Believe it or not, the first quarter of the story has been the ha...

Update February 2018
Hey All. Welcome to my blog.
So, book 2 of Chaos of Souls Series, Angels of Perdition is still in the first stage of production. To give you an estimate, Gates consisted of just over 163,000 words. As of this morning, Angels stands at 123,855 words, leaving just an iddy biddy 39,000 words left to put to paper. I’ve been writing in arcs: first Logan and the cohort of Yearlings in the Sur – thought I’d forget about that? What? It’s awesome! Wait till you read it. The second arc was Angus and Ar...
