If you’ve followed me over the years, you’ll notice that the past year or so I’ve been slower with posting here, and in general, I’ve been posting less. There are a few reasons for that. First, I started editing a few years ago, and when I edit I don’t generally read books in the genre…

About the Book War built the Kisian Empire and war will tear it down. And as an empire falls, three warriors rise. Caught in a foreign war, Captain Rah e’Torin and his exiled warriors will have to fight or die. Their honour code is all they have left until orders from within stress them to…

About the Book It’s a dangerous thing, to choose the lesser of two evils. The war is over, and army priest Tomas Piety finally heads home with Lieutenant Bloody Anne at his side. When he arrives in the Stink, Tomas finds that his empire of crime has been stolen from him while at war. With…

About the Book To the Danes, he is skraelingr; to the English, he is orcneas; to the Irish, he is fomoraig. He is Corpse-maker and Life-quencher, the Bringer of Night, the Son of the Wolf and Brother of the Serpent. He is Grimnir, and he is the last of his kind–the last in a long line of monsters…

I’ve been quiet for a while. I’ve also been super busy. Things are happening, and I’d like to give you a rundown on what those things are. First of all, I’ve updated the theme of this website, and for some reason it’s posting comments at the top of the page and blog posts under that….

I basically base my finalist decision off of one question: Which book can’t I stop…

About the Book Aelathil is on the brink of civil war! Once pampered and spoiled as the only heir to one of Aelathil’s most powerful lordlings, Callan’s world has been tipped upside down by King Ramsey and his mighty dragons. Now he must join the growing resistance or watch as everything his family stood for…

I got a pretty nasty private message from an SPFBO contestant today about how I’m basically ruining the SPFBO due to my slow turnaround on reviews, and I guess it’s making me want to discuss the roots of the contest, as well as its evolution. Feel free to ignore. A few years ago, Mark Lawrence…

So, it’s that time of year again. We’ve got a month left of the SPFBO and my life is insane so I need to write a bit of an update/what to expect post. The thing is, I didn’t expect my life, editing wise, to be this busy. My business has increased threefold this year. I’ve…
