A Memory of Light : Epic Fantasy Review
A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Death’s lighter than a feather. Keep those words in mind. They become a recurring theme throughout A Memory of Light, the final book in the Wheel of Time.
Wow. The final book in the Wheel of Time. When Jordan died, I never thought I would see, mourn, and celebrate this day. Through a friend of mine, I began this journey in 1991. Twenty-two years later, it is over.
It has been epic in every sense of the word.

New Epic Fantasy WIP: The Sundered Souls
One gold bit. Ten silver monarchs. A thousand silver bits. A small fortune to kill a legend.
Thartensen rolled the gilded coin across the top of his calloused hand from his pointer to little finger and back again. Golden light played off the King’s face imprinted upon its surface. With the spoon in his other hand, he scooped up a helping of pickled eggs, and stopped, his attention drifting to the picture on the tabletop. He took in the artist’s rendering of the raven-haired woman, her...

Cover Art for next fantasy book
The next Aegis of the Gods book is almost ready. There’s something to be said about good covers, and I have worked to try come up with covers that will draw my reader in. I hope my fans appreciate the effort. Covers have always been a drawing point for me, even now when I read primarily on my tablet. When browsing, I always go cover first before I read the blurb and a sample. I just feel the cover is important. Not as important as the contents of the book, as you truly can’t judge a book by i...
