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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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!
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
