With just under a month to go until the launch of my Kickstarter campaign for The Tides That Reign, I'm happy to unveil the new cover for book two, Sparrows Sing of Dying. Illustrator Maria Areta once again captures the dark tone and grandeur of the novel despite the intimate framing of the cover, as well as the fierce defiance of the depicted character, Queen Yiscel.

Book Three Progress This past week, I had the pleasure of reviewing the final edits for Before the Ghost Sea, the upcoming third installment in my dark, epic fantasy saga The Tides That Reign. When I say that it got me shaking with excitement for its release, that's an understatement. The penultimate Reign chapter just might be my favorite of the series (for your information, the final book is mostly completed, though there is still much work to be done).

'Design of Darkness' Re-Designed As you've probably gathered by now, my epic fantasy series The Tides That Reign is undergoing a rebranding in anticipation of my Kickstarter campaign. Along with other goodies, the main signifier of these self-published new editions will be their gorgeous new covers, illustrated by the wonderful Maria Areta, who created all the promo artwork for the original releases.

Highlights Well, 2025 is finally, and unbelievably, drawing to a close. What a year it has been - filled with the lowest of lows and some really good highs. To start off with, I had an incredible experience running my first ever Kickstarter campaign! My dark, coming-of-age novel, Of Chaos and Eternal Night successfully funded $2,378 over a $1,600 goal!
