Tzatziki
Can someone please tell me how to pronounce tzatziki? Is it Tah-zee-key like in America; or is the T silent, Zat-zee-key, like they say it in the UK? I’m inclined to go with the UK version because it just sounds cooler.

Bloody Rose
The first book in this series was told from the point of view of Clay Cooper an old before his time seen it all ex-mercenary. This story is viewed through the eyes of an impressionable, never been more than a days ride from home, young bard named Tam.
I really enjoyed Tam’s story and through her, the stories of the members of her mercenary band Fable. Second books in a series can be iffy but Nicholas Eames nails it with wit and a narrative that delves deeper into the world of the Heartwyld as w...

I’m excited to announce THE FALLEN SHADOW: BOOK THREE OF THE REVEL NIGHT SAGA is out today!
I’d like to wish a happy book birthday to some amazing characters!
Tynan Tenebris:
Black mist uncoiled from his fingertips and reached out toward the boy, his body deformed into an emaciated hunched posture. His face altered, eye sockets hollowing to black, his mouth spread into a gapping maw lined with sharp silver fangs. The ominous creature’s voice cut like a cold dagger….
Livia Windancer:

Welcome To Revel Night!
You’re going aren’t you?
What!?
You’ve never been to Revel Night?
It’s the last night of the yearly celebration for the Summer Solstice, they have it on the beach at the lakeside camping resort.
There will be food carts and a DJ on stage, and the best part of the whole evening is the bonfire lighting ceremony at the moment of sunset. That’s when the party really gets going!
Everyone will be there…everyone, even that certain someone you’ve been crushing on

The Stairway blinked out of existence and Livia experienced a moment where she thought she might be okay, but then the Earth’s gravity caught her, it yanked her away from the portal and she was helpless against the powerful hold. The last thing she saw was the man and his soldiers dragging her unconscious fa...
