But a world that is far older than anyone ever knew. - Shadows of Kankor: Book Two of The BrightStone Saga - In “Shadows of Kankor,” the realm of Kankor is engulfed in mayhem and devastation, thrusting our heroe

Hello everyone! It’s less than 2 weeks until Shadows of Kankor releases! I’ve been waiting a long time to release book 2 and I just hope it lives up to the first one. I’m really proud of it and I just hope you all enjoy it because some of it was definitely a slog to get down (I want to put a crying emoji here but thought better of it).  So, less than 2 weeks to go so you still have time to read book 1.  Book 1 is my baby, it took a long, long time to write and almost as long

Hi, I’m back. I know it's been a while, but I have some exciting news. Betrayal! I’m really excited to show Betrayal to the world.  So, what is it you ask? Betrayal is an epic journey of bravery, escape, and of course betrayal. The story starts with the prologue from Aurora. But instead of skipping 900 cycles (years), this novella will explore what happens directly after that fateful night in the Cave of Raygor! Betrayal will take you all over Antar where my BrightStone Saga

Firstly, hi. It’s been a while since I have sat down to write a blog post. Today I want to talk about NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. I have attempted NaNoWriMo a few times and used the software to help keep me motivated to write daily and I feel that it’s helped me so far. Anyway, this year my plan was to start the first draft of book 3 in my BrightStone Saga after finishing book 2, but that didn’t go to plan for other reasons I won’t bore you with. So this year,
