Wonderings

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*….

Here’s the early blurb for William Wilde and the Necrosed, book 1 of The Chronicles of William Wilde: Eight months ago on a cold winter’s eve, William Wilde became an orphan. A simple car accident that killed his parents and his brother. Or so he thought. On the first day of his senior year, Serena…

I’ve leveled an entire city. I’ve destroyed a close-knit families, and I’ve even killed a character who I loved. She spoke to me once and said, “I don’t like him (Rukh).” She changed the entire trajectory of The Castes and the OutCastes and became a far more important character than I intended.

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…

Let’s see. I went and saw Kong this week. Enjoyed it, but then I’ve always like giant monster movies. A shiver went up my spine at the end when…well, you’ll have to stick around to the end credit scene to hear what I mean. I also saw John Wick and John Wick 2. There’s something…
