At the moment, we have a problem, dear readers. A distribution issue has left Amazon without any stock of The Adversary hardcover. If you pre-ordered from them, you have likely gotten an email by now informing you it will be 3-5 weeks before you receive your books. If you were planning to order this week, […]
WARNING: This post contains spoilers. Except I don’t think they should be spoilers, which is why I’m going to go ahead and spoil them. By now, I may have gotten some of you hooked on the excerpts, so in fairness to that, I will lead with an excerpt from Mehen’s POV, and follow with the […]
The first book with Farideh in it, Brimstone Angels, came together during a time of serious upheaval in my life (a Sundering if you will)*. I was perhaps a third of the way through the first draft when I was abruptly laid off from my job. Since we had all believed at the […]
When it came time to choose an excerpt to post as a reward for reaching $750 in donations for Children’s Miracle Network and Extra Life, this is the one that leapt to mind. It treads on the edge of being spoilery, but doesn’t cross it. Though I don’t promise it won’t make you think about […]

Starting with this cool interview) I have some cool news for you (maybe this will make your morning even better–retroactively even!): an anthology I have a story in is now […]
You may have noticed that my books are sprinkled with Draconic, the language of (wait for it) dragons in D&D. The core of it comes from a Dragon (the magazine, not the creature) article by Sean K. Reynolds (who is not a dragon…I think)–reproduced here. Fun stuff! But not enough for my purposes. So I started […]
Lately, I keep remembering I have a blog. It goes like this. *Typetypetypetype* *RUSH OF PANIC* “Oh God. I haven’t posted anything since December. OH GOD.” *Put it off–have to finish scene…* *Repeat. The trouble is, the longer I go without posting, the more I end up telling myself I need to come up with […]
