Nice one J.D.. I have some free time this week with the kids out of school, so I decided to purchase the first one and give it a read.

I'm absolutely overjoyed that the books are being so well-received. Last time I checked, Dragon Blade was at #16 in Kindle Epic Fantasy Hot New Releases (past 30 days).

Hehe no worries. It was great:) Good job I was on holiday really:)
Will there be any more?
Alexandra wrote: "Will there be any more?"There will be at least two more books set in the same world, one following most of the same main characters, and one where the main characters and story arc from the War of the Blades books play more minor roles. The first drafts of both are completed now, and I'm working on the intial edits.
Love the cover. I downloaded the book and it's high on my want to read list.
Oh awesome, will look out for those. The only thing I couldn't get my head round was a dragon being called Sheila;)Just doesn't strike me as a dragon's name.

Yes the covers are lovely. Very striking:)What is within is pretty good too:)
Just finished reading Dragon Fate. Well worth buying!

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the books.
Oh and I caught up my sleep now.
Alexandra wrote: "Oh and I caught up my sleep now."I'm so glad to hear it! Does this mean I need to hurry up and get the third book out? ;)
Haha. Well I have a long reading list and I need to work on my own second book. Let me know when Book 3 is ready though:)

Swords forged by dragon magic. Ancient rivalries flaring into all-out war. Dragon Riders caught up in a clash of hidden powers. A world hangs in the balance.
Dragon Blade, the final book in J.D. Hallowell’s War of the Blades, is the epic sequel to the story begun in Dragon Fate. Delno Okonan, his draconic bond-mate, Geneva, and their allies among the Dragons and Riders are once again caught up in events controlled by unseen forces. They must uncover the real secrets behind Corolan’s death and the Rorack insurgency to defeat a threat that could destroy them all and leave the world they know forever altered.
And to celebrate, I'm making the first book in the series, Dragon Fate, free through December 26th.
