I’m in a fun zone right now. The first three books of William Wilde are with various editors. William Wilde and the Necrosed is complete and in Nick Podehl’s hands, and I should have book 2, William Wilde and the Stolen Life, in finished in its finalized form by tomorrow. It’ll then go on to…
Here’s the preliminary cover art. I love it.
William Wilde is rolling along. I’m at various stages of complete drafts for the first 3 books. Not much work left. Audible Studios has bought the audiorights and would like the audiobooks released simultaneously with the ebook/print book. What that means is that I’ll have three books done and none out in the world. Crap!…
I hadn’t thought about this much until a question on reddit/fantasy cropped up. I had a strange path to the audiobook market. I took most of the money I earned from the ebook sales of my second book, *A Warrior’s Knowledge*, and hired Nick Podehl on my own to narrate book one, *A Warrior’s Path*….

So much writing going on. I’m about four scenes from the end of William Wilde and the Unusual Suspects, book 3 of The Chronicles of William Wilde. Just finished a long setpiece fight scene with Rukh and Jessira. They progressively have a larger role in each book. Aia’s running around some village called Sand. She’ll…
A couple of weeks ago, a kind reader sent me a picture of their rescue cat. They named her Aia, and I did a happy dance. Here she is in all her ferocious adorableness:
One of these days, I’m going to get to write my story about a black dragon name Bartholomew. Until then, I’m going to keep chugging away at William Wilde. Right now, I’m on book 3, William Wilde and the Unusual Suspects, with about 2 weeks to go to finish the first draft. WooHoo! After…
Editing for William Wilde and the Necrosed, Book 1 of The Chronicles of William Wilde took a lot longer than expected, but as a result, the manuscript is far better. I’ll probably have one more pass through at some point, but here’s a sneak peak. Chapter 1: A Changed Life January 1986 Kohl Obsidian lifted…
