The Dragon's Champion turns 6 today!

    Catch me on Bookbub; Amazon; Facebook; or Goodreads


 
Good morning!

         
          Today is a very important day for me -- and for anyone who enjoys my books. Today, The Dragon's Champion turns six years old, and so does my career as a writer! I chose this day back in 2013 because it also coincides with my wife's birthday. I thought it would give me a bit of luck, not to mention the fact that without her support, the story never would have seen the light of day. Six years in and it is still going strong, with sequels behind it and a whole world filled with different adventures. The writing journey started with me writing at home or on my lunch hours at the embassy, but now I have an office in my home and do this full time. It's an incredible thing to look back and see just how far we have come.

          It isn't always easy, of course. There are the occasional negative reviews, or book launches that don't go quite as planned. There are the odd months where sales cycle down far enough that I question my sanity for continuing to write. However, there are some really great times too. It's always been a passion of mine, and I love to share my imagination with others, but that is only what gets the ball rolling. It certainly doesn't keep the sails filled with the days are rough. But, there are many other times that remind me why this isn't just entertainment, it's good work. I'll get an email or letter from someone, or sometimes they find me in person to tell me about how my books affected them.

          Some are looking for an escape, and find it in my world of Terramyr.
         
          Others are kids who hated to read, but after trying my books can't get enough.
         
          My own children, who each have tried to read far above their grade level just so they can enjoy "Daddy's stories."
         
          Or the colleague or friend who comes up sheepishly, explaining why they put off reading my books only to find out that they really liked them later on.
        
The list goes on, but each of them are the reasons I like to write.
         
          I continue to write for the kid who hates reading, because I was that kid. (Thanks R.A. Salvatore for changing that with The Crystal Shard!)
         
          I write for the person who needs escape, because I certainly have been there many times.
       
          I write for my kids, so they can see the value of hard work and dedication -- as well as develop their literacy.

          And, I write for that colleague or friend, because I like seeing the smile on their face when they realize that my books are more fun than they had dared admit.

        So, for these reasons, and many more-- let's show The Dragon's Champion some love. Pass it around to friends and family who would enjoy a good adventure, and let's make it a spectacular 6th birthday for this fun book!

Free books and a Harry Potter Giveaway!

    Catch me on Bookbub; Amazon; Facebook; or Goodreads


 
Good morning!

          Spring feels like it is well under way now. Over the weekend my wife and I worked in our garden with our five sons -- we're hoping we'll get a few more mammoth sunflowers like last year. The kids all worked their tails off, planting vegetables, fruits, and flowers. It was a fun time for sure. In terms of writing, I am still working on the Phinean and Jaleal books, and I have started a couple new projects that I am hoping to give you a sneak peek at in the next couple of months.
          Preparations are also underway for SLC FanX -- so if you're in the area, be sure to drop by table TEAL 1 (TE1) in artist alley and say hi. I may also be attending Supercon in Florida this year-- I'll know for sure in the next few weeks whether I can make that work with my schedule, and what panels I might end up on.
          Otherwise, I thought you might be interested in looking at Fantasy Portal's giveaway for April -- lots of Free fantasy books to choose from -- check it out:

          And below I have a few book suggestions you might like as well. Dimwater's Door is available for pre-order now! The release date is June 18, so I hope you are ready to continue Kyra's adventures. This one is going to be an exciting ride.

Click here to snag your copy!
         
          That's not all though. I just finished working on a really cool project. Some of you have seen it before, but for most of you this will be new. Son of the Dragon is an omnibus version of a trilogy I wrote. That means for the price of one book you get over 300 thousand words worth of action and adventure. The relaunch is up now for pre-order and is set to hit your inbox on April 30th. Don't miss it!
Click here to order your copy!
         
          Now, I'm not sure this next one will interest all of you, but I want to mention it because the author, Greg Shaffer, is a good friend of mine. In a past life when I worked for the government, he and I served in the U.S. Embassy in Hungary together. He is a very smart individual, and has a vast wealth of experience from his career as a member of the FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team. Please take a look and check out Greg's book.
Click here to order ebook or paperback.
         
          Also, if you like epic adventures, check this one out!

          April is here and Spring is finally starting to come to my neck of the woods. But, before I go out and start gardening with my kids, I thought I would give you updates on projects because I have some exciting news! Also, I have a giveaway announcement at the bottom of this post.
       
          For those of you looking forward to Phinean and Jaleal, we have a tentative time frame of May-July for book 1, so that is coming up pretty quick.

Also, I am going to be running a booth at SLC FanX, so if you're in the neighborhood April 19th and 20th, be sure to drop on by and I can sign your books and chat with you for a bit.
       
          But I am really excited about this next part...
