The sequel to “Fall of the Western Kings” is nearing completion. The cover design is almost done, and it will be another good one. The manuscript has been through its last revision and is now in the hands of beta readers and editors. Which means I have nothing more to do with it until the … Read More
Whew! Taking a moment to catch my breath now that I’ve finished the most recent revision. A huge thank you goes out to my wonderful editor who slogged through the entire manuscript and cheerfully pointed out faux pas that would have been inexcusable. And so the plot seems all straightened out, errors corrected, and as … Read More

If I want the story to be internally consistent I can’t leave things as they are. Dalphnia, Gant’s wife and a woodland nymph, is … Read More
As I continue working through the revision of the second book in the Tirumfall Trilogy, “Child of Evil,” I’ve found several places where the story does not hold together consistently. The latest faux pas again revolved around the rules for magic within this world. Two wizards needed to have a quick conversation even though they … Read More
I finished the second revision of book 2 in the Tirumfall Trilogy, “Child of Evil,” and began a more thorough editing and revision process (with some help from my faithful editor).
