Early this morning, I woke up with the last few chapters of ‘Song of the Dragon’ waiting for me. Reading through this story again got me excited yet again about this story of Drakis — an insignificant slave of the mighty Rhonas elven empire and his amazing flight toward a destiny that he wants desperately […]
I am currently chained to the first-draft galleys of the first book in my upcoming ‘Drakis’ series. It’s titled ‘Song of the Dragon’ and will be coming out this July.

While I, too, was initially drawn like a moth to the pretty, pretty lights and shiny, moving pictures I quickly began […]
I’ve been rereading both of the first two Dragonships novels in preparation for launching into Book III. It may seem like a strange thing that an author needs to read their own book.

We’re coming into a new year and, as you can see, there are many changes coming!
