From a previous blog post I let you know that I was updating the cover of “The Autumn of the Whitewood.” That is now complete and has gone through the process of proofing and is now available. I also have submitted the books to new channels and they are now available on them! 😀
“The Autumn of the Whitewood”
“The Cliffs of Connemaigh”
For the next month, I’ll be offering a 25 percent off coupon at Smashwords for each book. For “The Autumn of the Whitewood” the code is NT23L. For “The Cliffs of Connemaigh” the code is JW79B. Enjoy!
As you may know, an artist (Asbjørn G Andvig) and I have been working on a new cover for “The Autumn of the Whitewood” for some time because I didn’t feel like it was indicative of the genre. It is completed. What do you all think? Do you like it?
Since my last update, I have finished the first draft of book 8, working title “The Winds of Asgaloc”, and have begun editing book 3, “The Shadows of Winter”. I have also worked more on the new cover of book 1, “The Autumn of the Whitewood” and have also began the process of working on the cover of “The Shadows of Winter.” Additionally, I have set up sponsorship tiers on Patreon. You can click here to check out the sponsorship rewards. I still plan on removing my books from Kindle Select as well so they will be available at other stores. Whew! It’s already been a busy month!
As some of you may know, I have a Patreon account. You can go here to get to it. I hadn’t done much with it as I was unsure of what to do rewards wise. Having talked to a couple of friends I decided on what they should be so now if you decide to be a sponsor there will be rewards.

I thought I’d give a quick update as to where I’m at in “The Chronicles of the Starborn”. I am almost done with the first draft of book 8, working title “The Winds of Asgaloc”. It appears that what I wanted to happen at the end of book 7, “Birthright”, will be occurring at the end of this book instead. There will be at least 9 books. After I finish this book, I will be going back to book 3, “The Shadows of Winter”, and editing. I am also working on revamping the cover of “The Autumn of the Whitewood” to make it fit more in the genre (the picture above is part of it). I am also going to be taking the ebook versions out of Kindle Select so they will be available on more sites soon. In addition, I have some ideas for gifts for my Patreon sponsors.

I ran across this blog post this morning at Writer Unboxed. As some of you may know, I like Scrivener quite a bit so I thought I’d share this. I haven’t tried this myself but I thought you all may still like to know. Without further ado….
So here we are in another year! 2016 was quite the year. Do you have any new year’s resolutions? Mine is simply to write more. I hope your new year goes well.
Happy Holidays from me to you! I hope that your holidays are filled with warmth and cheer and so is the next year for you.

The world is forever changed. Two dimensions are now one, and our heroine, Elaine Castle, a human, is navigating a world filled with dragons, orcs, and a mysterious enemy utilizing every power at its disposal to make sure that Elaine does not survive to unite the humans, Forest Elves, and Sky Elves. Our heroine is a wielder – a magic wielder, that is, and she definitely retains ancestral memory of being an elf, but is Elaine a helmannigr, a human born with an elven soul?
While she trains and her teacher tries to determine if she is, indeed, helmannigr, she fights with her blocks against two of the seven elements that all wielders have access to. These blocks are killing her, as magic kills the untrained. Is the answer in Connemaigh, the abandoned city of the Sky Elves that she arrived at in “The Autumn of the Whitewood”, or is it elsewhere in this new and dangerous world?
An epic fantasy with elements of romance, a hint of sci-fi, and a creative plot, “The Cliffs of Connemaigh” uses traditional fantasy tropes with new twists, and challenges the boundaries of the genre of fantasy. “The Cliffs of Connemaigh” is nominated for the Summer Indie Books Award hosted by Metamorph Publishing.
