Just in time for the holidays, the Magic of Solendrea series is entering wide distribution on November 20th. Every book in the series will be available on iBooks, Kobo, Nook, and more. So if you know of someone who wants

[image error]Volinette’s Song is one of my favorite things to have written. Volinette has a special place in my heart and I enjoy her contribution to the world of Solendrea. For whatever reason, fewer people have read about Volinette and her entry into the Academy of Arcane Arts and Sciences.

This week, Volinette’s Song is FREE on Amazon, and I highly recommend that anyone who hasn’t had a chance to read this Solendrea adventure take the opportunity to do so. Please share this news with your friends and family or anyone who might enjoy a rousing tale of swords and magic, monsters and mayhem.

I’d really like to get Volinette’s Song into the Top 100 Free list on Amazon, and I can only do that if you, your friends, and anyone you know will take a few moments to go and download a copy, so please show your support.

Thank you!

I know a lot of people have been anxiously waiting to find out when the next Magic of Solendrea book will be available. I have good news! I am committing to having The Broken Tower, book 2 in the Second Swordmage trilogy, out by the end of the year.

I’ve already made substantial progress on the rough draft and I’m confident in my ability to finally bring the next installment of Tiadaria’s story to you.

But that’s not all!

In conjunction with building my Patreon campaign, I am going to be writing a series of shorts collectively titled Solendrea: Origins. Each major player in Solendrea, starting with Faxon, is getting a short story dedicated to their origins. We’ll get to see Faxon (and others) in the time before he was the badass Quintessentialist we know and love.

These stories will be Patreon exclusives for 90 days, which means if you want to be among the first to read them, you’ll need to participate in the campaign.

That’s all I’ve got for now. I’m looking forward to bringing you more Solendrea in 2017.
