Ebook now available!
Well, I finally did it. After multiple people asking me "do you have this in Kindle?" I at last decided to dig in and turn
Thunder of Time
into an ebook.Now, I prefer physical books to digital ones. But I understand why people like ebooks: they're cheaper, don't take up physical space (that's a consideration, heh heh 😅), and they're easy to take anywhere.
So you can now bring Troy and friends with you on your plane flight or wherever . . . but not IRL, sadly. TSA wouldn't be too keen on having a big tough gladiator going through security. Lol.
King of Hearts and The Treasure Beyond will be coming soon, Lord willing.
Tentative Release Date and COVER REVEAL
Hello friends!!
I've got exciting news . . . though you may have already seen it by now, since I'm a wee bit behind. 😆 Yes, I'm talking about my latest title, To Stand .
I know, I've been talking about it for a while now, and keeping it *sort of* under wraps. But the time has come (finally!) where I can reveal it to the world.
Potential release date (subject to change by a week) is Saturday, April 20th. The Kindle version is available for preorder now!
And about that cover reveal . . .

Book 1, Phoebs?
Oh yeah. This is a series, folks! Lord willing, Book 2 will be coming out this year . . . or maybe in '25. You never know what my life is gonna bring. 😉
That's all for now! Y'all excited? Stay tuned for more news, and if you've got friends who might like it, spread the word!

Time For a New WIP!
Oh y'all, have I got news for you! This has been more or less under wraps for the past year + a few months, but I'm finally ready to give the world a big reveal!Back in April, I published To Stand , which I said was the first book in a series: Tales of Veridon. I am very pleased to announce the upcoming sequel . . .
*drum roll please*
. . . End of the Earth.
How close are we to seeing this published?
Lord willing, release date is sometime this summer. I want to get it into the world before college starts again, plus the book has a decidedly summery vibe. I'm in semi-final edits right now, so once that's done and my cartographer (read: my brother) draws the map, we'll be all set to go!
Apparently I'm not on my game right now, because I haven't written a blurb yet. 😆 Hopefully the inspiration will strike sooner rather than later . . .
So what can you expect? Well, I don't wanna give too many spoilers, so instead I've included a moodboard of sorts. Enjoy!
What vibes are y'all getting from this? Any conjectures as to what might happen? Feel free to share your speculations in the comments!
Cover Reveal - Coming Next Week!
Hi friends! I know I haven't been very communicative lately regarding End of the Earth; it's going slooooooowww. I'm trying to finish writing one last scene that needs added, and my brain doesn't want to work when I try to make it. 🫤
But I haven't been *entirely* useless (just mostly 😆) . . . and now here's my news: I'm going to be revealing the cover next week! Monday, August 5th you get to see this thing! I've had it sitting on my computer for a long time, just waiting to be shown to the world.
But for now I'll give you a teaser, to pique your interest . . .
Ooh! And did I mention: I finally have a blurb! No, no, you don't get to read it yet. Next week, okay?
Meanwhile a bunch of random (or are they random?) emojis todrive you crazy keep you interested. 😏

Cover Reveal Day!!! 🥳
Well guys, here it is - the cover reveal at last! End of the Earth will finally have a face - this is my Hobbit birthday present to y'all, a day late. 😊 (I mean, yes it was scheduled for today, but my birthday was yesterday, so we'll just go with the Hobbit thing, haha.)

YOU
...
READY?!?!

TA-DAA!!!!!
And for the blurb I promised:
A fishing trip takes an unexpected turn when a wind squall strands crown prince Rhett and his friend Kaide on a small island. Opportunistic pirates seize the unfortunate pair, taking them away on their ship to be sold as slaves.
On the distant island of Leiale, the boys are separated: Rhett is taken for a prestigious position, while Kaide is bought to serve as a field hand. Both situations have their dangers, and neither young man has much hope of seeing his family again.
But back in Veridon, Princess Rhian is not about to give up her brother and friend as lost. Gathering a trusted few, she sets out across the ocean on a near-hopeless quest.
Will the boys—lost at the ends of the earth—ever get home?
Eep! Y'all excited? I know I am! No release date as yet, but Lord willing sometime this month.

WIP Website
Good morning friends! I'm excited to announce the release of a brand-new website - We Gave Our Tomorrows! For whilw now I've wanted to create a site just for my WWII WIP, so this is it. (Might as well put what I learned in web design class to use, right?) 😉 There's not a whole lot there right now, but I'm planning to post more at some point. Head over there and take a look!
End of the Earth is now live! 🥳
It's a big day, folks!
End of the Earth
, which I've been talking about for a while now, is finally available on Amazon! I'm going to be selling copies for the first time at my local bookstore this afternoon. ^-^
And I want to apologize: I just realized this morning that I never posted character pictures and intros, like I did for To Stand. 🤦♀️ My life is insane right now, and I ALWAYS have a hard time keeping track of things unless I use sticky notes or a planner. Even then I forget stuff. 🤷♀️ Oh well, maybe I can post them later, huh?
(That "insane life" spiel is also why I'm not making any long speeches in this post. 😅)
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

They Gave Their Tomorrows

Remembering Our Veterans
November 11th is the day we set aside to remember the veterans who have fought for our freedom, wherever and whenever they have served. Many of them have struggles that we civilians cannot understand. Some of them would like to forget their past.
Sadly, many people today do forget the sacrifices these veterans have made. They never stop to think about why they have these freedoms to enjoy. Veteran's Day, for them, is just a chance to get a day off from work.
But it gets worse. There is a class of people who are opposed to the just wars America has been involved in. They seek to revise history, make Americans out to be the bad guys, and vilify the soldiers who fought for us. What they don't realize is that it's thanks to those who fought that they still have the freedom to say those things.
Folks, let's not be part of the problem. This Veteran's Day, stop and think about those who have given so much for you. Thank God for them and for your liberty. Pray for them. And if you see a veteran - or, for that matter, an active duty member - thank them for their service.
On This Day
On the night of November 10th, 1944, the 4th Infantry Division loaded up in trucks and were driven about 30 miles north of their current location to a new position. They arrived in the Hürtgen Forest early on the morning of November 11th.
During their time in Hürtgen, the 4th sustained about 100% casualties - it was the most brutal engagement they were involved in. Following their time in the "meat grinder", they were sent to Luxembourg to rest in early December.
We are on Amazon!
I've got some exciting news! We Gave Our Tomorrows (the ebook version) is available for preorder on Amazon now. Release date, as planned, is set for May 8th. The $5.50 price is my best guess because I don't know yet how long the book will end up being, and length affects price. 🫠 Not to worry, if you order now and I lower the price, you will be charged the lower price; on the other hand, if the price goes up, you'll only get charged $5.50. (At least this is how it works in the US - I think it's different for Amazon Germany and India as well.)
Happy Veteran's Day! 🫡
