John Pirhalla will be starting recording on Flameborn shortly, and I CAN'T WAIT to get started on hearing & reviewing the chapters! This is the point at which it becomes truly real for me since most of my personal "reading" is done via audio on my commute.

Hi all! Can I please ask you, as certified members of my launch team by virtue of seeing this post, to leave a review on Amazon for my new book, or book one for that matter? It's the best long-term marketing I could ask for, other than word of mouth. Thank you!

So far, I've received four 4&5-star ratings on Amazon, but I also received a lone 1-star rating. Perhaps it was someone who didn't care for the sex scenes - I hope that's the case - but it's pulled down my average rating. I do have warnings at the beginning, though. shorturl.at/EqJRA

I've done very little marketing so far, and have no user reviews yet, but at least in that one category of Monster and Creature Horror, I've hit #48 on Amazon. That seems very exciting when I just focus on that! But I'm not yet in the top 1000 for Dark Fantasy or Post Apoc Sci Fi.

I think I'll be having a cover reveal in a day or three! My new release day for Flameborn is November 25th. I'll also be figuring out how to let Demon Gate go wide instead of exclusively on Amazon. More soon!

Book 2, titled The Infernal Age: Flameborn, is coming along nicely, but it's not going to be ready for October 28th. I've changed the release date to November 25th. Sorry, everyone! I'm very excited to release it as soon as I can - I just needed a little more time.

I hit 50 reviews on Amazon (and still with 4.5 rating so far)! Which goes to show primarily that I have a lot of generous friends, but also at least a handful or two of strangers who liked my book enough to rate it.

Well, it's a different list than the best seller list, but being number one in any category on Amazon is fun!

Another accolade! Not as prestigious as being told to "F**k off" by John Scalzi himself (and giving me permission to use that as a blurb!), but still good.

I'm nearly done going through the editing changes for Book 2. It's... more. More action, more party members, more demons, more survivors, more distrust, more banter and pop culture, more magic, and more... adult things. And this is not the cover, of course. Sep or Oct for that

The Infernal Age has been named a 2025 Pacific Book Award Finalist for Apocalyptic & Post-Apocalyptic Fiction!
This extends my run in awards beginning with the letter P, and adds a much-needed west coast flair to my award shelf.
