Updates/Checking in!

Hey all! It's been a while so I figure it's time for some info!

Firstly, All the Eyes of Days is coming very, very soon! I'm planning to release it at the end of November!

I am hard at work on the 5th installment of Nokturn Rising as well as some of my other many works in progress. I'm plan on having both the 5th NR novel, as well as the first novel in a third series I'm working on, released over the next few months.

The updated cover for ASOGAE will be in the December cover contest on AllAuthor.com. I will send out at updated link when the contest begins!

Keep and eye out for title and cover reveals which will be coming very soon! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving next week!

Welcome to the World of Eyes

My first book in the Eyes of Days series entitled, All the Eyes of Days, is nearly finished! I am nearing the conclusion of the editing stages and will soon be moving into publication. My goal is to release this book by the end of November at the very latest! I am posting the cover art below and I hope you all will add the book to your TBR list on GoodReads! I am also including the synopsis below so you can read what the book is about! I look forward to sharing this with all of you!

ASOGAE: Special Edition Now Available!

It's finally here! ASOGAE: Special Edition is available now on Amazon! I've included a ton of additional content in this edition that you won't want to miss! Along with the special edition hardback cover, there is a short story, A Song of Hope and Oblivion, character illustrations, Ash's letters to Lark, and more! If you enjoyed ASOGAE, you will definitely want to read this extra content!

ASOGAE Special Edition Info!

I have official submitted and ordered the proof copy of the special edition of ASOGAE! I am anxiously awaiting it's arrival so that I may confirm it's ready and get it published! There is so much extra content in this edition so you won't want to miss it!

I would also like to reveal the cover art for the special edition, as the only ones who have seen it are my mailing list subscribers. I really love this cover and I hope that everyone else will as well! I will update when I have a set release date!

It's been awhile...

I don't know about you all, but I have been extremely busy lately with hardly any time to focus on writing! Nor have I been able to read for my own pleasure either which is always disappointing. But, it looks as if I may finally be able to sit down and work on my most recent projects.

The special hardback edition of A Sword of Greed and Envy (ASOGAE) is very close to finished and I still intend to release it at the end of July to mark the once year anniversary of ASOGAE's original release. You will not want to miss out on the extra content included in this book! I will be revealing the cover of the special edition very soon here and on my social media.

Unfortunately, with projects unrelated to writing demanding so much attention this summer, my personal deadline for the first draft of my next release (All the Eyes of Days) might end up being extended. I haven't been able to work on this as much as I had hoped to, but perhaps I will find the time to make up for it in the next few weeks, you never know! Either way, I refuse to rush this project as it will be the first in its series and I want it to be perfect.

Be on the lookout for cover reveals and more news to come!

NOW AVAILABLE: A Reign of Thorns and Fire

That's right! A Reign of Thorns and Fire, the fourth book in the Nokturn Rising series is now available for purchase on Amazon! Both digital and paperback formats are available. And, as with all of my books, it is free for anyone using Kindle Unlimited! I hope everyone enjoys this installment of Lark and Ash's journey!

In other news, I am currently working on a special edition of the first book in the Nokturn Rising series, A Sword of Greed and Envy. I'm really excited about this and I'm working hard to get it just right so that I can release it at the one year anniversary of its publication. I will release more news on this as the planned release gets closer.

I am putting a hold on the Black Leaf Academy series that I had originally planned to release this summer. Unfortunately, I have not had as much time to work on it, and I just haven't felt the passion for it that I previously had. I am not killing the project by any means, but simply putting it on the back-burner until my motivation for the story comes back.

So now, aside from the Nokturn Rising series, my other project is the Eyes of Days series. I've had many people express their interest in this new series and since I'm very motivated and inspired by the story I'm creating there, I am going to continue forward with it in hopes of releasing the first book by the end of summer or early fall at the latest. I look forward to sharing more information on this as I progress with the project!

Upcoming Projects

Hello Nokturn Nation!

I hope that every single one of you have grabbed up my newest release, A Crown of Chaos and Vengeance. I really loved writing this book in particular because I was able to dig into a couple of my favorite characters more than I could in the first two books.

But, onto more exciting news! I am currently working on multiple projects, some in the world of Nokturns, and one that is a whole new reality that I hope you all will enjoy as well! The next book in the Nokturn Rising series is slated for release in the late spring of 2021. I will be releasing the first book in a new series entitled 'Elite' this summer (more details to follow). For now, you can see the cover and a little snippet of what this new series will be about on my website under the 'Books' tab.

Along with those two upcoming releases, I am also working on the first books in two other series, Nokturn Beginnings and Nokturn Forsaken. There are plans for a fourth Nokturn series, Nokturn Legacies, but I have no official begun working on those projects yet. I am very excited for all of the things to come and I can't wait to release new information regarding all of these topics as I progress on each of them.

I look forward to seeing all of the feedback on A Crown of Chaos and Vengeance!
