Greetings from the Heartland,

Today was a big day for me. Windwalker, Ciphercraft Book 2 launched!

Book details:

…and that's all I can include of the book description without a spoiler. Expect epic dragon fights, cross-portal adventures, a ghost train on the loose, and the quest for a lost city.

Types of classes in Windwalker:

· Windwalker (think dragoon who uses a bow staff and wind to strike his enemies.)

· Telepaths (higher stakes for this class to develop skills like Charm and Expel.)

· Paladin (don't tell him, but this class gets the brunt of the damage—but it's fun, I promise!)

· Beastmaster (you have to kill your animals before you can summon them… so good luck!)

· Gamemaster (this guy is kind of a jerk, and way overpowered, so it's a good thing he is willing to play both sides, for now.)

· Archers, time mages, a Sabin-style monk, a thief, and more fighting goblins, hybrid monsters, black casters and jungle warriors, and a time mage driving a ghost train full of surprises. And it's all on the way to discovering the ancient rune and nearby lost city they'll need to prepare for the real war to come.

Each class will develop more than one skill, and some have three to six by the end of this book. It's a crunchy Epic Fantasy LitRPG, where first the foothold must be secured, and from there the building of a nation to defend against the upcoming invasion.

What's next?

Well, I'm 73k words into Dreadlord Wizard, a new series that's a bit Raistlin from Dragonlance meets Ready Player One. I will keep working on that while taking the final stats from Ciphercraft 2 and taking another pass through book three, Resurrection City. I've written the roughs for that and book four, Portal Wars, but if the series doesn't pick up, I may need to get my Dreadlord book out and running.

So that's me, how are you? How's your Thanksgiving going?
