About me:
A.J. Norfield lives with his loving wife, and two rascals of children, on land, but below sea level. For several years he worked as a falconer; training and flying the likes of owls, eagles and other types of birds of prey. He holds a black belt in aikido and dabbled in the art of archery more than once. He’s a big fan of Japanese RPGs, and anime, and will often play the swordfighter in any type of game. That way his own katana can safely stay on his wall, so no one accidentally loses a finger, or hand.

A.J. Norfield devoured the books of Anne McCaffrey, Terry Goodkind and Naomi Novik—to name only a few of many—which in turn inspired him to create his own 'Stone War Chronicles' series.

I am working on some changes that I want to do after finalizing the editing of part 1, but I have good hope Flood will be released before the end of this year (aiming for end of summer, but life might get in the way :)). So, we'll see! It's done when it's done, but I have no intention to make the gap between part 1 and part 2 as big as it was between Windcatcher and Wavebreaker.

Edit: So, reading this back 2 years later, I could not have been more wrong... >.< Where I had written most of the book and was ready for editing, several setbacks with editors caused delay on delay. Thankfully, it is finally ready! And hitting Amazon on the 12th of May 2020!(less)

Banging your head against the wall until it goes away?

Writers'block is difficult, although I mostly think it is not writer's block but too many distractions around you that prevent you from writing. Or the inability to put down in words what you have so awesome in your mind. Daily challenges for any writer I expect.(less)

Still here…

It’s been a while since I wrote here… in fact, it’s been a while since I wrote at all. Thankfully, after a very long time, I feel energetic enough again to focus on my creative output again. Lately, I can dedicate more time and energy to my writing, something I hope will continue to increase over time. It’s a relief and a wonderful feeling to get things moving again after the last few years of hur
