Obligatory post reminding you I have signed hardcovers for sale on my website. Some have sprayed edges! All come with bookmarks, art cards, and bookplate stickers.

*I also have paperbacks, but hardcovers are what I have the most of!*

What’s the vibe of The Envoys of Chaos series?
High stakes.
Action.
Witty banter.
Found family and friendship.
Bickering. All the bickering.
Plans.

In 12 days, it will be the one year anniversary of the release of the Envoys of War. I’m at loss for ideas for celebrating. Giveaways? Sales? I’ve done a lot of those. If anyone has ideas, let me know!

The Pawns of Havoc is available on Audible—and ready for you to listen!
Once again, the fantastic @laurenceknott.bsky.social
lends his narration skills, and I think you’ll love this darker prequel novella.
Hope you’ll give it a listen!

You can now snag a used signed copy of Envoys on eBay for only TEN DOLLARS MORE than if you buy it directly from me, the author… 😂 What a deal!

This is not a drill! The Pawns of Havoc is live on Audible! And, it’s only $10.96! If you’re an audiobook lover, check out my banter-laden darker-than-the-main-series prequel novella!

I'm getting closer to 200 total ratings on goodreads! We're at 193 now and counting!

Only a few original cover copies left before they’re gone forever. They’re the cheapest they’ve ever been, so grab a collector’s item for almost nothing! Only available on my website while supplies last.

I don’t use Reddit, but apparently my Envoys of Chaos series tied for 10th in a Top Self-published Books poll. Pretty cool! Thanks to @justairythings.bsky.social for letting me know!

Yep, two “passionate book marketers” and JK Rowling have all rated my books this week. 🙄

I had the distinct pleasure of collaborating with not just peers, but authors I consider friends to come together and make this fantasy anthology possible. Pre-orders are open— 10 distinct short stories!

There’s nothing quite like the emotional rollercoaster of checking Goodreads, seeing you’ve received 3 new ratings, and then realizing they’re all just spam marketers and bots.

The first round book allocations for SFINCS are in and Pawns is with the judges of Team WIPS.
Here are some of the books Pawns will be going up against that I’m excited to check out!

Note: these are just some of the ones I recognize. I’m sure I’m missing some great books!

Envoys has a new cover thanks to Miblart. Definite glow up! Paperbacks now available on Amazon. Hardcovers are still in the processing phase. You can also preorder signed copies on my website (they'll ship in October) and snag "collector's edition" copies of the original cover for a steep discount!
