Neverqueen will reveal...


Among the characters revealed in The Sword Of The Dragon series are three who will have appearances in the new fantasy series Neverqueen.

Enlightenment (the prophetess) is an intriguing hermit. She lives on the banks of the river Eiderveis. Previously she hosted the albino dragon's daughters and now she takes the orphaned Violet under her roof.

Besides her will be an appearance by Albino (the dragon prophet) and Patient (the shepherd).

The Neverqueen books will focus on the adventures of a new character Violet and her companion Valor. At some point in the next few years I plan to draft a Specter series as well, to expand upon the story after Key of Living Fire. More on that later!
Coming November 5th 2013

Introducing the dark fairy

In my upcoming novel Neverqueen a new villain enters The Sword of the Dragon story world. A dark fairy by the name of Genj.

Do you remember Hermenuedis, the Art'en wizard? If so, you will find this new entree fascinating. He was the wizard's right hand, as thoroughly corrupted as the Art'en himself. But after an absurdly long time has passed this dark creature has latched on to a new master, none other than Turser. In Swords of the Six we watched Specter slash Turser's face with the scythe blade, and now it is time to reveal Turser's later fate.

I do love creating memorable characters, and in Genj I believe I have accomplished that goal.

Look for Neverqueen to arrive on your Kindle, Nook, and in Print on November 5th!

Why I love writing

Often the question is posed to me: "When do you find time to write?" or "I don't know how you can do that. I could never finish something so large."

But the truth is I love to write. It is part of my soul. If I don't write, all of my emotions bottle up and I feel trapped. My imagination and my creativity hammer at my mind telling it they need to be let loose.

I love to write because I know that after I am dead and buried future generations of readers will come to know me and my convictions. I hope to leave timeless stories that will make people think and strive to be the best they can be spiritually and to their fellows.

...That's all I have to say for now. TTFN (-:

BTW... Don't forget NOVEMBER 5th 2013 is the date for the NEVERQUEEN book release! Hardcover, nook, and kindle, with more formats to come.
