Hello!
I hope you're staying warm. The weather here has gotten a bit colder than usual, so I've got the space heater in my office on to keep myself toasty. I hate winter, ha!
It's the weekend before my birthday, and I'll be turning 41. It's kind of weird to think about how long I've been on this planet. It doesn't seem like it's been 41 years, but at the same time, it does.
I'm not sure what I expected when I reached this age, but I'm happy with where I'm at. I have three daughters, 4 grandkids, and an amazing wife who supports me in everything I do. I've published 47 books (and counting), traveled all over the country to sell them, and have an amazing fan base.
There's a lot more to me than just being an author, of course, but that's my main focus, so it's the thing that shines more from me than anything else. Are there any burning questions you have for me? What my favorite food is, things like that? Let me know with a reply!
The third book in my Thread Witch series released on Tuesday, so the entire series is officially published. If you were waiting to start the series, now you can binge the entire thing.
I'll be launching a Kickstarter for deluxe hardcover editions of the series March 3, and I've put the prelaunch page details below so you can follow it and be notified once it's live.
Speaking of Kickstarter, I finished fulfillment on the Dragon Riders of Osnen Box set campaign this past weekend. It was a lot of work, but I'm happy to see people emailing that they got them and love them.
I think I've decided on my next projects. A griffin rider series, and a return to the world of Osnen. I left book 15 with an opening (dragon slayers), and I'm going to work on finishing what that ARC looks like. There's also a power vacuum, among other things, so there's a lot of fun stuff to tackle.
I'll keep you updated as things progress on those, but for now, I hope you enjoy my Thread Witch series.
My first vending event of the year is in 2 weeks. Carolina Carnage! Think MMA, but with medieval armor and swords. You can check out the details here. It's the largest Buhurt event in the Western Hemisphere, with over 40 teams competing. It's going to be epic! So if you're in the Pendleton, South Carolina area, come check it out!
I think that covers everything for now.
Until the next newsletter!
Below you'll find a free ebook promotion and the link to my new release Threads of War!
What I’m reading: I'm still (slowly) reading Reckoning by Michael R Miller.
What I’m watching: I haven't watched anything new as I've been writing and working on Kickstarter fulfillment.
What are you reading/watching?
As always, a huge thank you for the support!

NEW RELEASE
The threads of fate are tightening—and they may strangle her before the war begins.
Amara has become a symbol of rebellion, a living legend whispered about in marketplaces and stitched into clandestine banners. But behind the name they chant lies a woman fraying at the seams. The strange bond with the Weaver of Bone threatens her mind and magic, yet she cannot sever it—not without unraveling herself in the process.
Beside her stands Caedric, the former Unraveler who once hunted her and now would burn the world to keep her safe. Together, they must rally fractured cities, ignite the hearts of the oppressed, and tread the path toward open war with the Guild.
But each thread they pull threatens to unravel more than power structures—it risks unraveling each other. And when the final pattern is revealed, Amara must choose: embrace the destiny others have woven for her… or cut the thread and forge a new one with her own hands.
