Welcome to February! In a surprise double-release, the My Three Orc Dads novella and the Storms & Sacrifice audiobook both went live within days of each other. As always, your ratings and reviews are a huge help, so if you can spare even a few minutes to write one, I would be forever grateful! Steel & Thunder Book 3 is complete and the manuscript is in with my editor, and the full title and cover art will be in next month's newsletter, and the first two chapters will be available to read on my website. I have also created a detailed map of V'rok'sh Tah'lj, with more maps on their way! These will be available digitally on Patreon, and in print as part of the upcoming hardcover editions of my books. See you next month!

Happy New Year! I have officially finished writing Book 3 of Steel & Thunder. The first chapter and cover art are already up on Patreon, and I will reveal the full title and cover art next month. My Three Orc Dads is all set for its release on January 17, 2021, and paperback editions are finally available. Find your copy at all of the usual online retailers or by clicking the banner on my website. My suggestion box is also now open for patrons to submit their questions and ideas to, and finally, something that I meant to include months ago when it first posted: An author interview! I did this way back when I first got signed with my publisher, 4 Horsemen, so if you're interested in learning more about me and my writing process, you should check it out! You can read it here. Until next time!

I'll be previewing the release date, cover art, title, and full first chapter over on Patreon next week, so if you can't wait to get your fix of David and Khazak, head on over and subscribe! Otherwise you can expect that information sometime in the next few months.

Welcome to November everyone! Storms & Sacrifice has been out for a month, and so far the reception has been great, but I could always use more reviews! Not only does it help make the books more visible, but reading what you all like about the story motivates me to write even faster. In awards news, Steel & Thunder has been named a Distinguished Favorite in the 2021 NYC Big Book Awards! I am halfway finished with Book 3, and next month I will be previewing the first chapter on Patreon. I'm also happy to report that some of my stories from Patreon are going to be published in ebook form in the near future. I will have more details on that soon, but if you want to read the stories now, you should head over and subscribe!

Storms & Sacrifice is out now! Hopefully most of you are already reading it or waiting on your paperbacks to come in, but here is a list of online retailers if you still need to pick up a copy. I am really eager to hear what all of you think of it, so I would love it if you would be so kind as to grace me with some reviews. They really make the book world go round. The third book is well on the way, and you can expect some updates about that in the coming months. Happy reading, and remember, daddy needs some reviews!

After over a month of waiting, the audiobook edition of Steel & Thunder has been released on Audible, Amazon, and all other platforms! You can use those links or the banner on my website to be taken to a list of online retailers to purchase your own copy. In other news, the manuscript for Storms & Sacrifice has been turned in and is currently being reviewed by my editor. I expect to get it back in a few weeks, and pre-orders should be available by the start of September. In the interim, I have begun work on Steel & Thunder Book 3! I can't give away too much yet, but I will say that I've changed things up in some very fun ways that I think you are all gonna like. The first two chapters will be available on my Patreon in October & November, where they will remain exclusive for three months before being posted to my own site. See you then!
