And here’s the blurb:

Cam Folde has overcome his weaknesses, but his future remains uncertain.

During his first year at the Ephemeral Academy, Cam grew far in his Ephemeral Mastery, becoming a person of significance. The eyes of the mighty are now upon him, and they promise him wealth and even marriage into their houses should he offer them loyalty.

Yet Cam has other concerns. He no longer trusts his sponsor, Rainen Winder—the Wilde Sage—whose usage of Cam and his friends has seen them almost die on too many occasions. A dilemma exists, however, because breaking with the Wilde Sage will also result in Cam’s expulsion from the academy.

Needing wisdom, Cam seeks advice from several of his instructors—the new master of the sword, Cinder Shade, and his wife—but before he can enact their counsel, a fresh challenge becomes apparent.

A mythical Realm—deadly beyond measure—proves all-too real… and an unprepared Light Squad must survive it.

Steel Sharpens was so much fun to write, and I have to say my favorite new character is Thor. A reader asked if I could find a way to include his Irish wolfhound in the next Eternal Ephemera book and even brought Thor to a couple of book signings. After that, how could I say no?

Right now, I’m working on book 3 of Eternal Ephemera. It’s going a bit slower, but I’m figuring it out. I had to go back and do some rewrites, and then I realized there’s more rewrites. Sigh. Writing can be taxing. After that will come Instrument of Omens, book 5.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!
