Emerald: Land of the Elementals Book 2 is Free Tomorrow, August 13th!
What’s up, super people?
I hope you’re excited and on the edge of your seats (or beds, or wherever you’re working from, since, you know, we’re in a pandemic)!
Anyway, Emerald, the second book in the Land of the Elementals series, will be completely free of charge tomorrow, August 13th! Why, do you ask? Has Aaron lost his mind? Is his five-month-long quarantine slowly driving him insane? To which I would reply, well, I didn’t have much social interaction anyway, so I was probably insane all along (but you already knew that). No! The reason why I’m giving the book away is that Emerald has a fantastic new cover, which you can check out here!
So all day tomorrow, August 13th, you can take this book for free. There are no gimmicks here! And as a special bonus, if I give away enough copies, I’ll make Rampage, the first book in the series, free as well! So it’s a win-win situation. You take Emerald for free, and then you get Rampage, too! Maybe this face mask is too tight, or perhaps I’m feeling extraordinarily generous. Still, I think it’s a good idea if you take advantage of this momentary lapse in my sanity.
Also, why don’t you tell all your friends while you’re at it? Everyone loves free stuff. So what are you waiting for?! I expect to see you there at midnight if, like me, you’re entire life revolves around books about made-up people. Now here’s a picture of the new cover in all its glory! Pretty epic!
Hey, why are you still here? Shouldn’t you be refreshing your browser page, waiting for it to go on release? Away with you!
Rise to Omniscience: Book 4 Update
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!”
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.
I’m hoping to have the book released by October 31st, so stay tuned on my Instagram and Facebook pages for an update.
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!
Now, please enjoy some fantastic cover/concept art for RTO Book 4!
Have a great day!
Morgan, the main protagonist from Aaron Oster’s “Rise to Omniscience” series, locked in combat with the Infernal-Bane Lyvern.

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!

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!
