I'm back!

What's Up Super-People!?

After many, many moons, I finally have access to my website and email again. So, if you've tried reaching out to me via the website and haven't heard back, that would be why! I'll be doing my best to respond to all emails sent in the last few months, but I've only got so much time in the day so please be patient with me.

Now, for some updates. Firstly, we tried to launch a Kickstarter for We Hunt Monsters book 1-3. It didn't exactly work out, but not to worry, I'm already working on something else for you collectors out there. We'll have another annoucement once I've finalized all the details.

I also got a concussion in early February which took me out for a solid 10 weeks and this was preceeded by nasty back-to-back viruses. So, suffice-it-to-say that I'm excited to be back at work plugging away at We Hunt Monsters 15.

There will be more updates in the future. I'm going to try and figure out how to use the email list for once so I can send news out in a more orderly manner, since Facebook and Instagram have been hiding my posts from everyone.

Oh and I'm finally adding a shop to the website! It's empty right now, but it won't be for long...

Anyway, that's all the newsing my head can handle for one night, so until I report again. Have an awesome day and keep being Super!

Rampage: Land of the Elementals Audiobook Releasing 10/30!

What's up, Super-People!

I'm so happy to announce that Rampage: Land of the Elementals Book 1 will finally be coming out on audio, tomorrow, October 30th!

The book has been narrated by Soundbooth Theater and will be launching exclusively on their new streaming platform on

Soundbooththeater.com.

I have no idea when, or even if it will be available on Audible, so if you want to listen to the audiobook, I'm afraid this is the only place you'll be able to get it right now.

On the plus side, it's probably going to still be much cheaper than Audible, and while I know trying out new things might not sound so thrilling, if you're a fan of my books, I can assure you that the audio is WELL worth it!

The audiobook is narrated by the amazingly talented Annie Ellicott, featuring Justin Thomas James for most of the male cast. Jeff Hayes has also lent his talents to some of the male voices and we have Dorrie Sacks voicing a particularly nasty elf!

If you're a fan of epic fantasy, cultivation or GameLit, I think this is a series you definitely will not want to miss. Soundbooth Theater is also hard at work narrating Emerald, book 2 in the series, and we should be seeing it out really soon!

Hope you all have an awesome weekend and keep being super!

Hey there, super-people!

I wanted to provide you all with an exciting update on the second book in the Buryoku series, which is a series of fantasy, cultivation books! For those of you who haven’t read the first book in the series, it’s an absolute must-read. You can pick up Power: Buryoku: Book 1, here.

The second book continues following the adventures of our protagonist, Roy, and his friend and accomplice, Aika. Powerful forces are gathering on the continent of Buryoku, which is never kind to the weak. Faced with this impending doom, Roy will have to make a monumentally difficult choice.

You’re definitely not going to miss this one! Light: Buryoku: Book 2 is available for pre-order now, and it will be released on January 30th! You can pre-order the book by clicking on this link here!

And for all you audiophiles out there, there is further good news. Audio recording will begin next week for Light, and the release of the audiobook can be expected in either late February or in early March. The recording will be done by the uber talented Mare Trevathan, who also did work on Power.

Hey everyone!

I want to provide you with an update on the work that has been done so far for “Rise to Omniscience: Book 4!”

I don’t have a title for the book just yet, but there will be an announcement coming soon.

Work on the book has been well underway for quite some time, and it has been quite a while since the release of Skyflare back in July.

Editing of the book is nearly complete, the cover art is well underway, and the book should be available for pre-order very soon.

Book 4 in the RTO series raises the stakes more than ever, as you’ll be able to see from the preliminary sketches of the book’s cover.

On the cover is Morgan locked in mortal combat with the Infernal-Bane Lyvern, the monstrous beast from Starbreak. The battle is sure to be thrilling, so make sure to pick up the book when it comes out!

Rampage - New Book Announcement!

I’m incredibly excited to reveal the first book in my brand new series, “Land of the Elementals!” The name of the first book is “Rampage”, and I’m sure that it will prove to be an exciting and thrilling read!

I’m incredibly excited to reveal the first book in my brand new series, “Land of the Elementals!” The name of the first book is “Rampage”, and I’m sure that it will prove to be an exciting and thrilling read!

Rampage is a truly enormous book, and is nearly a year in the making! The total word count for Rampage is over 158,000 words (around 470 pages!), which is a truly staggering number, especially when you take into account that most first books in a series rarely go above 100,000 words.

It has really been a wild ride since I started working on this book. I’ve released five other books in the interim, and finally, this one is nearly releasing! Writing a book of this scope and magnitude was really difficult at times, but the final product is really amazing, and I’m so happy that I stuck with it until I saw it completed.

Rampage is an epic fantasy book, along the lines of “The Wheel of Time” by Robert Jordan, and “The Stormlight Archives” by Brandon Sanderson. If you want to read more about what makes something Epic Fantasy, you can check out this great article on Fantasy-Faction. The shortened version is this: Epic Fantasy takes place in world other than our own. Pretty obvious. Also, they’re long.

In Rampage, you’ll travel along with our protagonist, Arbor, who has his entire world turned upside down in one night. Fate often has a cruel way of bending us to its will, and Arbor learns this in the harshest way possible. However, he isn’t willing to take such a beating sitting down and ventures out into a dangerous world to exact his revenge.

You’ll get to meet a variety of super cool races in this book! In addition to humans, there are elves, dwarves, gremlins, and salamanders. (There might also be some others, but I won’t be spoiling anything now.) Each of the races all have unique histories and ways of living, which go far beyond their mere physical appearances.

Also, can we talk about how amazing this cover art is?! The insanely talented people over at MiblArt have really outdone themselves! I love the way that Arbor and Grak (who’s a gremlin, by the way) look, and the cover overall is super cool and atmospheric.

In fact, it’s so good, that if the book is successful, I might just print out some hardcover copies and do some signed giveaways. So it’s really in your best interests to make this book do well!

“Rampage: Land of the Elementals Book 1” releases on September 26th, so make sure to mark your calendars.

As always, if you enjoy my work, please like, comment, and share with your friends!

Now here’s a look at the cover in all its glory!

The big day has finally arrived!

I even got my first review, and it’s a glowing recommendation!

Work on the audiobook is nearly complete, and the link to purchase it should be up sometime this week.

As a new series is now releasing, I wanted to take the time to thank you, my readers.

Only a few months ago, I was working a dead end job that I hated with a passion.

The first book I released was a commercial failure, and the future for me looked pretty bleak. (Maybe not as bad as it seemed for Roy, but bad nonetheless.)

Cut to now, and I’ve already released five books, and have gained a loyal and amazing fanbase.

I was able to quit the job I hated, and now get to spend my days doing what I love: Writing.

But without you guys, none of this would be possible. After all, you could have the best books in the world, but if no one buys and reads them, then it’s kind of pointless.

So thank you for being such a loyal and amazing fanbase!

You know where to find me if you wanna reach out.

Keep on being super!

Here’s an amazing picture of Roy, the main character in Buryoku, done by the talented Lukasz Poduch!

Book Cover Announcement! Power: Buryoku Book 1

Hey everyone! I’m incredibly excited to present to you the book cover for Power: Buryoku Book 1!

Buryoku is a brand new series of Martial Arts inspired fantasy books, and “Power”, the first book in the series, will be releasing on August 29th! The pre-order link should be up early next week, so stay tuned!

Hey everyone! I’m incredibly excited to present to you the book cover for Power: Buryoku Book 1!

Buryoku is a brand new series of Martial Arts inspired fantasy books, and “Power”, the first book in the series, will be releasing on August 29th! The pre-order link should be up early next week, so stay tuned!

You’ll be introduced to Roy, a person who has very little, and is treated horrendously by those around him. In Buryoku, Martial Artists cultivate the essence in the world around them to perform incredible feats, beyond your wildest dreams.

However, Roy does not have the Power needed to cultivate the essence around him. Coupled with the fact that he was adopted into the clan, it makes for a miserable existence for him. Not only is he seen as a freak and an outsider, but the members of his adoptive clan never let him forget what he is.

But, one day, Roy is given a once-in-a-lifetime chance that will change his life forever. You’ll just have to read the book in order to find out what happens!

The cover for the book details one of the most important and pivotal scenes in the entire book, but I won’t be giving anything away here.

Richard Sashigane, my amazing cover artist, really worked hard to bring the world of Buryoku to life. Everything, from the atmosphere, to the Asian lettering and architecture really brings a sense of realness to the world.

I really hope that you guys enjoy this new series! It has definitely been a blast writing it, and the response so far from the beta readers has been incredible, with them praising the world, the story, and the characters!

Have an amazing day! Remember to mark your calendars for August 29th!

Hey everyone! I’m incredibly excited to announce a new series of short stories that I’ve been working on, with my good friend Nathan Chesterson!

The name of the series is “Pal-Tee Planet” which is a humorous series of fantasy short stories, that will live exclusively on the web.

In the series, you’ll get to meet many interesting and quirky characters, including Zundel, who will be the star of the first short story!

I’ve had the ideas for these characters for a while, but I could never find a way to fit them properly into my books. However, I had so many great ideas, and I was loathe to let them go, so I figured I would make them into their own series!

I’m also incredibly excited to be working with Nathan, who’s a close friend of mine, and who has also given me so many ideas for this series!

I’m not entirely sure yet when the first story will be done, so stay tuned for that announcement. When it does release, it will only be available to read on the website and also on my Patreon. I’m really hoping that you will enjoy the series!

Have an awesome weekend! Also, don’t forget that “Power: Buryoku Book 1” will be releasing on August 29th, so mark your calendars!

Buryoku is a departure from Rise to Omniscience, my previous series in several ways. Buryoku is a fantasy, cultivation series, and it’s going to be truly awesome!

 In it, you’ll travel along with the protagonist, Roy, as he embarks on a fantastic journey. Along the way, he’ll encounter many fantastical beasts and hilarious characters, as he tries his best to amass the power he needs to survive in his world.

I sent the book out to some beta readers and the response has been tremendous, with many of them praising the character development, magic system, and world building.

In this post, you’ll also see a picture of Aika, one of the main characters, whose role has yet to be revealed! There’s also artwork of Roy on the way, so stay tuned for that as well!

Look out for Power: Buryoku Book 1 when it launches in September! I hope to have a concrete release date soon!

Book Update: Buryoku, Book 1 (Title TBA)

Book Update: Buryoku

 

Hey all! I just wanted to give you an update on my upcoming series, Buryoku! This story diverges a bit from the literary style of Rise to Omniscience, as it’s not a LitRPG, and it will be more of a cultivation series.

 

After working on the first book for nearly a month, I have finally completed the first draft, and have sent out the draft to some beta readers and will use that information to get ready for the final draft. Once that is done, the book will be sent out to the editor and then it will be sent out to you guys! I’m hoping to have the book released in September, to stay tuned!

 

I also have an amazing artist, Lukasz Poduch, who’s doing some character artwork, keep your eyes peeled for that as well! Lukasz also works for CD Projekt Red (makers of the incredible Witcher series, and the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077) and you can check out more of his work here.

 

Enjoy!
