The Crystal Spire -- the next chapter in Erik Lokton's adventures...

Today The Crystal Spire went up for pre-order. It has been almost a year since the last Erik Lokton book came out, so I hope it meets reader expectations. There are going to be a few fun twists in this one that I think will be exciting for long time fans that have read more than just this one series too.

It's been a crazy year with moving up release schedules and slotting in all of these releases, but it has been very rewarding to hear some good feedback on the stories that people have been waiting for. With Crystal Spire, I wanted to do something a bit special for the fans, and have the pre-order set to a low $0.99. After the book's launch date, it will go back up to full price at $2.99, so if you're thinking about grabbing it, I'd suggest snagging it now.

Dominion: Edge of the Storm is going to be released a month early!

I am so excited to announce that book three in the Dragons of Kendualdern saga, Dominion: Edge of the Storm, is going to be released THIS FRIDAY! Originally it was planned to go out on March 31st, but I really didn't want to wait any longer than I had to, so we buckled down and pulled a few long days and switched up the release.

Karlax's story is one that has been so much fun to work with and introduce little twists here and there. I think as you get into the series, you'll see some of the fun things weaving in and out of each story that bind them all together and it should make for a satisfying adventure.

Click here to pre-order book 3!

If you haven't started the series yet, then definitely check it out!

The other really cool result of pushing the release date up is I am pretty sure it is going to have a cascade effect, so Fur Trader 2 should be able to get moved up quite a bit as well! Stay tuned, and I will be sure to put out any updates just as soon as I can.

Until then... Happy reading!

Epic Farm Boy gets a sequel... sort of...

I had a ton of fun writing Epic Farm Boy -- too much fun probably-- and now you have seen a glimpse of my scatter-brained idea of humor. But, whether you loved it or hated it, Epic Farm Boy is getting a sequel... sort of.

So, it takes place in the same world, but actually doesn't involve Simplin or Lucas. Why?

Because it's a book all about Arethel! The cover is so fun too, with the whole super cheesy smile and heroic pose with the sunlight lighting up her hair as she does one of those "fashion model" head turns. Love it!

The gist of the story is this, Jack -- the same author in Epic Farm Boy -- finds a mysterious manuscript on his computer. He opens it up and finds that Arethel had written down an autobiographical account of her latest adventures as one of the "hottest" Rangers in Lickedintime. It takes place before she met anyone from Simplin's crew, and it a fun, if not slightly over-the-top, story about this lovably dim-witted elf as she chases the man she loves through all sorts of danger. Unfortunately, she is just a bit too dense to realize that her true love just likes her as... a friend... from afar... like, from reeeeeally far away...

Poor Arethel...

Pre-order here.

If you haven't checked out Epic Farm Boy yet, then do yourself a favor and snag it for a weekend read-- it'll put at least one smile on your face guaranteed ;)

A new book release and more announcements!

Today, Dominion: Seeds of Alliance hit the shelves -- or e-readers as the case may be, and it's been fun to see everyone's reactions to it. I was super happy with this one, and loved writing it. It was a lot of fun to explore another dragon as the main character. I haven't really done that since the first Dragons of Kendualdern with Gorliad (don't worry -- those of you looking for Gorliad to make a return will not be disappointed! Just enjoy where you are for now and you'll be pleasantly surprised where Gorliad makes his appearance.)

Next week, Epic Farm Boy comes out. It was very fun as well, but entirely different. I poked fun at a lot of things --authors included of course-- and I am a bit nervous to see how it is received, but also really excited because I think if you go into it fully expecting nothing but a silly way to pass the time and get a few laughs, you will be well pleased. I mean, the main wizard is named Simplin the Wise, that ought to tell you everything you need to know right?

But -- even though these are fun announcements, I have two more for today. The first is Fur Trader 2 finally has a release date (can you hear the trumpets in the background?)

Garrin is going to finish what he started, and it's going to be a fun ride!

And then there is this -- the super awesome cover for the next Dragons of Kendualdern book, which will be out in March (or sooner if I have my way!) You are not going to want to miss this next volume!

Introducing a new Fantasy adventure-- Epic Farm Boy!

Really, all you need to know about this wonderful tale is encapsulated by the cover. (Thank you, Bob Kehl for the great work!) We have all read the same kind of story many times. A lonely farm boy with seemingly nothing to offer is found by a great and powerful wizard, teams up with an elf or a dwarf (or both) and goes off to save the world from an uber bad guy who wants to conquer the whole planet/realm/kingdom/universe...

Well, this is exactly like that-- except it's better. Simplin the Wise is the great wizard in this book, and he is on his way to find the Epic Farm Boy prophesied of as the savior of Deltynne. Simplin is the best wizard for the job too, because he got all A's during his training at the College of Spells-n-Stuff. (Well, except for frog-transmutation, but really, who uses that spell anymore right?)

After finding the Epic Farm Boy destined to save the world, there are adventures aplenty as somehow the villain discovers the boy at the same time Simplin the Wise does. They run from giant spiders, fight nasty demons, and do lots of walking through epic landscapes that look great in your head, but probably would look better on screen if filmed in the mountains of New Zealand with a handful of A-list actors and super awesome effects... but I digress.

Throughout the tale you will laugh, and possibly dance on the table like the dwarf on the cover, as you see Simplin the Wise get his gardening advice from a sage by the name of Yew Toob, an accident with giant spiders leads to Shelob's creation, Simplin the Wise gets into an argument with the author about plot details, you witness a fun cameo by Dr. When -- the not-so-famous cousin of another Dr. who uses a blue box instead of a red one... and much, much more!
