Two new sketches for The Lays of Anuskaya

These are not complete, obviously, but I liked these early sketches enough to share them. The first is a scene from The Straits of Galahesh. So as to remain as spoiler-free as possible, I’ll only say that this is Muqallad, one of the Al-Aqim, the three elemental sorcerers who tore the fabric between the material [...]

Staffer’s Book Review calls Flames “One of the best epic fantasy endings I’ve had the pleasure of reading”

Justin Landon over at Staffer’s Book Review recently read the final two books in The Lays of Anuskaya: The Straits of Galahesh and The Flames of Shadam Khoreh. Overall, the review was quite positive. Some bumps when it came to Straits: In 2011 I called Winds of Khalakovo ‘deep and deliberate’ with poignant dialogue ‘that fits the [...]

Bookmarks!

I’ve been playing with the design for the bookmarks that were part of the stretch goals for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh, and I think I have something workable. It was difficult to fill in the space of the front, and when compared directly to the back the font looks perhaps too tall, but I [...]

New Video Review of The Lays of Anuskaya from Author and Editor Paul Genesse

Author and editor Paul was one of the people on my video teaser for The Lays of Anuskaya, but his video was really quite good on its own, so I’m posting it as its own video review of the series. Share and enjoy!

New Map of Yrstanla!

I’ve been working behind the scenes on a new map for The Lays of Anuskaya. And here it is! This was created by William McAusland, the same artist who worked on the previous maps, based on a map I had generated for the world long ago using a program called Fractal Terrains. I really like [...]

New Raffle for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh – Signed Artwork!

I mentioned yesterday that I would have two raffles for the Kickstarter. The first is a raffle for signed ARCs (of which very few will be printed). The second is for prints of the artwork for The Lays of Anuskaya. These prints will be signed by both the artist, Evgeni Maloshenkov, and me. Just how many [...]

Advance Reader Copies Raffle!

I’ve decided to include two raffles for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh. The first is a raffle for three advance reader copies (ARCs). I’m only printing about 20-25 ARCs total, so this is a chance to win a rare collector’s item. They are uncorrected, so there will be minor differences, but that’s part of the [...]

Twelve days left in The Flames of Shadam Khoreh Kickstarter

Only twelve days remain in  The Flames of Shadam Khoreh Kickstarter. Time is really flying by! We’ve blown past the funding goal and two of the stretch goals so far. I’ve just added a new stretch goal—Bookmarks!—and I’m confident we can reach that soon. I’m really gunning for the $10,000 stretch goal, which adds three [...]

Amazing Stories calls Flames “The capstone of a landmark series”

Another review of The Flames of Shadam Khoreh has come in, this one from Keith West at  Amazing Stories. It’s a pretty spoiler-free review and is very complimentary of the entire series. Here’s the kicker: The Flames of Shadam Khoreh is the capstone of a landmark series full of intrigue, swashbuckling, betrayal, sacrifice, and love. But [...]

Three Weeks Left in The Flames of Shadam Khoreh Kickstarter

The Kickstarter for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh launched a little over a week ago. I ran it for only 28 days, and we’re now under the three week mark. 20 days remain, and I’m hoping we can meet several more stretch goals. The first stretch goal, a free copy of my short story collection, [...]

Flames News: More audio goodness from Audible.com!

I’m very pleased to announce that today over lunch I signed a contract with Audible.com to produce and sell the audiobook of The Flames of Shadam Khoreh. I’m glad we could get this deal done, as I certainly want to have the full trilogy available to readers/listeners. The rights for the first two books in [...]

Flames Kickstarter Update plus More Interior Art Reveals!

The Kickstarter for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh is ready. I’m only waiting for final approval from Kickstarter to launch, which should come sometime tomorrow. I’ll be sure to send out a blast once it’s ready. The progress on Lest Our Passage Be Forgotten & Other Stories continues. “Unearthed” is now essentially done and waiting [...]

Early art sketches of The Flames of Shadam Khoreh

As I did with Adam Paquette for The Winds of Khalakovo and Todd Lockwood for The Straits of Galahesh, I asked Aaron J. Riley is he’d be interested in sending me early sketches of the cover art for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh. Aaron graciously agreed and sent me a few early pieces. These are [...]

Rising Shadow calls The Flames of Shadam Khoreh “OUTSTANDING” (in capital letters)

The first official review of The Flames of Shadam Khoreh goes to Rising Shadow. Here’s the part I stole the post title from: If I had to choose only one word to describe this book, the word would be “OUTSTANDING” (in capital letters), because this book is truly outstanding and amazing in all possible ways. [...]

The Flames of Shadam Khoreh Cover Wrap

I’ve been plugging away in the background, getting the ARCs ready for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh. The e-ARCs are ready, and now it’s time to get the print ARCs ready. As part of that effort, I need to get the full cover designed. I had the e-cover, which is essentially the front cover of [...]

The Flames of Shadam Khoreh ARCs are ready

After several long nights and early mornings, the copy edits for Flames are all folded in. I still have to go through one final pass before the book is done-done, but that process is going to wait for a few weeks until I have all three stories written for my story collection. The last two [...]

Cover Reveal for The Lays of Anuskaya

So here’s some exciting news. I have new covers! As part of the gear-up for the release of my third book, The Flames of Shadam Khoreh, I’m also re-releasing The Winds of Khalakovo and The Straits of Galahesh. I have to admit some disappointment that the previous versions didn’t have a unifying theme. So I [...]

A Slight Change of Plans

So here’s a bit of news. My time with Night Shade Books has largely come to an end. There are a number of reasons for this. I’m not going to go into all of them. But I think it’s no secret that Night Shade has been having money trouble. There are a lot of reasons [...]

I’m looking for a few good readers. Interested?

Interested in an early read of The Flames of Shadam Khoreh? Then step inside. I may just have a deal for you. I have a new project I’m starting up for the promotion of Flames (and really, the whole Lays of Anuskaya Series). I’m looking for a few tech-savvy fans of the series to read [...]

Cover Design for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh

I’m very excited to reveal the cover design for The Flames of Shadam Khoreh, the concluding volume of The Lays of Anuskaya. Here it is in all its glory. The Flames of Shadam Khoreh begins nearly two years after the events of The Straits of Galahesh. Atiana and Nikandr continue their long search for Nasim, [...]
