Okay...From 'Labyrinth War' - Ado-Cent’s lowest tier was an assault to the eyes, ears, and nostrils: Long columns of wains laden with bales and boxes piloted by cussing dwarves with braided beards and green-skinned goblins plowed through packs of drunken Ukandar who pissed and brawled in the...

welcome.

Not bad! A couple of my books hit the top 100 in Military Fantasy now and again, though they are usually in the 500-2000 range. 'Empire: The Complete Collection' is at 642, while 'Labyrinth War' is at 1750 (no promotion for most of a month).

Hmm... Empire: Tia - She pays close attention to details. Daughter of wealthy merchants seeking social advancement. Rebecca - Tia's gypsy maid and minstrel. Reading an audience and paying heed to one's surroundings comes with the profession. Sir Peter Cortez - He survived a slew of brutal...

Game video shorts often pop up on my Facebook Feed. The ones that intrigue me feature kids navigating a dystopian hellscape of half-flooded cities and sinister forests. One, with the kids in weird masks, is called 'Little Nightmares.' I don't know the names of the other two, though the hero in...

I have a minor 'Lost Princess' pop-up in 'Empire: Capital' and again in 'Labyrinth War.' The people around this character think she is a noblewoman in hiding, but she was raised in a pirate den by a renegade sorceress, so she has a few tricks. Nothing major, but still... One of the POV...

You still need at least three more reviews to get accepted by the more reputable email newsletter sites. I suggest Goodreads Reading Rounds, Authentic, or Bookroar. In the meantime, I strongly suggest that you delete all unsolicited email/social media offers for book promotions, book clubs, and...

What role does magic play in the story? The Gods of the classical pantheons had mixed portfolios: Zeus was a storm god, ruler, and warrior. Thor was a god of storms and war. Semeter was the goddess of the hunt - and pregnant women. Posiedon was God of the Sea...and horses. These spheres of...

Well, I say I write Dark Fantasy, but there is also a fair bit of Science Fiction mixed in with it. Some reviewers have called it 'Science Fantasy.'

Inspiration is not an issue for me. Finding time to turn that inspiration into stories is another matter.
