Welcome, new folks!

Hi, there. If you've joined the mailing list recently, I want to make sure you get your free Frosthelm book, Traitors Unseen. If you haven't gotten it, you can get it free here (the site will ask you to sign up for this newsletter, which you're already getting) or here from Smashwords. It's also on Apple Books, Kobo, and Barnes & Noble. Please, enjoy with my compliments.

Lady Isovar has arrived!

My latest fantasy novel, The Glorious and Epic Tale of Lady Isovar, came out on May 21 and is now available worldwide! This is a comedic epic fantasy, a fun adventure yarn centering around a brash and headstrong lady knight set on adventure and her much more practical squire, Chevson, who wants to keep Izzy safe from danger, and more importantly, the world safe from Izzy. They wander the land far from home smiting miscreants, fighting monsters, and defeating evil, at least until Chevson realizes that there may be a way to set right a great harm he caused long ago. He'll need to keep the easily-distractible Lady Isovar focused and on task to have a chance at achieving his goal, which is something that will take at least as much heroism and valor as Lady Isovar exudes with every reckless swing of her enormous axe.

I had a wonderful time writing this book, and it contains nearly every joke I could think of (except for the ones my wife talked me out of because they were just too stupid). Expect vile evildoers, fearsome beasts, high adventure, questionably appropriate taunting, and of course, ridiculous chapter titles.

Paperbacks are available as well, and I'm happy to send out autographed copies for only $15 (postage included in the US). I just got my first batch of them today. My personal shop is here. All my books are also available from Amazon worldwide.

Some stories to try

I'm part of several author collectives, and we share each other's work to try to help all of us reach more readers. In many cases, the books we share are are free or discounted. Sometimes, they ask that you sign up for a newsletter like this one. Here are some new books I have to share this month:

First, I have The Chimera Project by A.P. Taber, a sci fi story about a young student at the mysterious Ryser Academy who finds herself launched into a quest across the stars. 

Next in books with women with fiery red hair, I have Burning Skies by Luna Fox and F. Lowberry, a new release in their latest dracomancer series about dragon magic and a vicious magical war. Have a look!

Next, I have Star-Axe by Edita Petrick, a story of two interstellar powers on the brink of war and two officers captured who must try both to escape and to avert war. Plus, there's impressive scaly metal armor, which is always a plus.

Finally, I have Berikatanyan Dawn by John Beresford. This is a free prequel novella that sets the stage for the later series, so you can give it a try. It's sci-fi (planetary colonization) and fantasy (elemental magic) combined. This book is currently only $0.99, so it's not a risk to give it a try.

Thanks

Thanks so much for signing up for my newsletter. Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions for upcoming books, as I'm thinking about what kind of project to take on next! 

I hope you and your friends and family are having a safe and rewarding 2024 so far.

May the Bloodmother watch over you -
