Today is the launch day of my new book Fireblood. It is the first book in the Whispers from Mirrowen trilogy and I’m excited to be sharing it with you. This is a new experience for me and I’ll tell you why. It is the first series I’ve written with the help of a development [...]
I recently had a business trip to Malaysia. A friend of mine from work suggested that I visit the famous Snake Temple (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_Temple) in Penang. According to tradition, vipers and humans co-exist in the temple and do not harm each other. I’m terrified of snakes personally, but I thought it would be fun to visit, [...]
August was just a busy month, but it also marks a major milestone. Near the end of the month, the 100,000th copy of Muirwood was downloaded to someone’s Kindle. Not sure who that person was or exactly when it happened, but 100,000 is a big number considering last December it was less than one thousand. [...]
The first posting on this blog for ‘The Wretched of Muirwood’ was made almost 6 years ago. Amazing how time flies:

As of this posting, over 30,000 people have it on their Kindles or have purchased a copy of the print version. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has posted a review [...]
I’ve recently created some book trailers for the Muirwood series and posted them on Youtube:

 Also, I have had questions about whether there are [...]
I’ll admit, this one has me stumped right now. Normally, a book’s title is one of the first things I am able to come up with when starting on a project. I announced on this blog previously that my new project is called Kenatos and so that has been the working title draft of the [...]
I’m so excited that everything worked out. The books look amazing and it is great being able to hold them in your hands instead of reading it on a laptop screen. I love the covers and the interior layout design – they did a great job over at CreateSpace. The books are available only through Amazon right now. [...]
I started the Muirwood trilogy over 4 years ago. Some wanted to read a physical copy of the books, instead of being tethered to a computer screen or flipping a stack of printer paper. Books are books, after all, and not everyone has a Kindle or iPad yet. I would like to announce that copies of Muirwood (the entire trilogy) will be [...]
I originally wrote this story for Deep Magic when we started the world-building idea and had readers contribute to what was happening. Since my new novel will take place in this world, I thought I would share the story with a few tweaks in naming convention. This is classic high fantasy, but I want to [...]
