From An Inn on the FingerΒ Lakes I'm writing this post at an inn that overlooks Lake Cayuga. It's an overcast fall morning, forty-seven degrees, nice and crisp. My wife and I are on an early anniversary trip up in the Finger Lakes. Our son is housesitting back home for us. He enjoys having the place to himself and is having some friends over for a Halloween party this evening.

Full Book Cover Reveal For My FantasyΒ Novel I designed the wraparound cover for the paperback version of Risen In Flame, the first book in my Cart the Soulless fantasy series. Proofs arrived last week from the printer and everything looks good (also did a hardcover version). I'll be launching this as a Kickstarter fairly soon. I also did two character drawings (of which I'll be offering prints on a reward tier for the Kickstarter).

Editing My FantasyΒ Novel "Cart The Soulless awoke in darkness." So my first fantasy novel begins. I've had ideas for a fantasy series kicking around in my brain for years. I grew up reading and watching fantasy, horror, and science fiction. The idea of a badass warrior resurrected by a god kept coming to me. Thus, Cart the Soulless was born. The first draft for Risen In Flame is done, and I'm about halfway through edits.

The End Is In Sight For thisΒ Draft I'm at the 63,000-word mark for Risen In Flame, my first fantasy novel and also the first in either a trilogy or duology. Haven't decided if it will be two or three books yet. Sometimes the story dictates how long it will be. When I was writing The Project Artemis series, I thought I'd be done with three books, but there was one more story to tell.

Updates And Progress on The LatestΒ Novel I crossed the fifty-thousand word mark on Risen In Flame, book one in my new fantasy series. I haven't decided if this will be a duology or a trilogy yet. Sometimes it depends how much story wants remains and needs to be told. When I was writing the Project Artemis series, I initially planned three books, however, the Artemis kids (although now young adults by book three) still had more to do.
