Jacob's Interview in Novel Reads
Jacob, how would describe your books, their genre?
The Heir of Scars series of medieval fantasy novels are epic, grand, sweeping, but are truly focused on the characters within the world of Morandia. The cultures, languages, and societies are
organic, personal, and near to our own. Adria, Marcus, Kirlin, Mateko, Darius... they grow, they change, they sometimes contradict themselves, even die. Heir of Scars explores their pasts, their
futures... the things that make them who they are...

How Do You Create Your Characters?
Characters of Heir of Scars
I get asked this question often: “How do you create the characters for your novels?”
It's a great question that I usually answer in a wonky way. Some of the time, it's just conversation. Someone in a coffee shop, if it's sufficiently
crowded and they're particularly prone to conversation, might get so far after the initial “Is this seat taken?” and “There's weather where I live also.” and “Is that seriously an iced white
latte? Your facial hair says anachroni...

Spires and Mountains - Available Now
For a time, the world caught its breath.
The War of Scars was memory, but the New Peace fragile.
Our gods were fallen, our faith broken.
We waited for One-Who-Comes in a breath between the storms.
We waited for One already born.
It has been said that the ghosts of our world far outnumber the living.
It has been said that the legacies of our mothers and our fathers decide our fate.
It is said that war begets peace, death brings life, and victory is won by blood alone.
We are scions of a...

New Heir of Scars Logo
New logo time! In the not too distant future, the site and Heir of Scars novels will all be using this newly designed logo, which I'm very pleased with!
Up to this point, I have been using stock windows fonts and mostly stock photos (often heavily edited) to create the novella covers, everything on the site, ads and
promotional material, but for 2013 my goal is to have all original art (thanks, Vanessa!), the new logo and an original font (thanks, Tacha!) for everything, so look for a...
