Today starts off 5 free days for the Shrouded Guard ebook. Even if you've previously purchased/downloaded it, this is for you too (I had to republish it due to Amazon not pushing updated interior files to those who already bought the book). Major changes include some character names & 1 plot point.

Recently I made some changes to Shrouded Guard. These changes included a new cover. But the biggest, and most important change, is some major character name changes.

I also ended up republishing the ebook version because the zon doesn't push updated interior ebook files to those who've previously purchased it or downloaded it (barring special circumstances that don't apply here). So, I ended up republishing the ebook version.

But I want to be fair to my readers who've already gotten the book (no matter in what form).

A forest background with the words Grimoire Archive: Bounty Hunter book 1 title revealed overlayed over it along with a digital mockup of a paperback book with the cover mostly obscured by black paper. The bottom of the black paper is torn away to reveal the book title as The Snatcher, along with the series title and book number

Am I actually crazy enough to do a triple title reveal for Grimoire Archive? Yes (though not intentionally, time just got away from me). When?

Bounty Hunter book 1: July 13
Underground Alchemist book 1: August 13
Shrouded Curses book 3: September 13

Which are you most excited for?

#JuneWorldBuilders 1:

In the Grimoire Archive time period, there are sentient Curses (not widely known, essentially "spirit" entities from the Nightmare Dimension) that are mostly associated with evil because they can/do possess people and use them/their magic to create chaos.

4 Villains I've written (Grimoire Archive edition)

1. Guild Master hellbent on catalyzing another war against magic
2. Guild Master who would do anything for the "greater good"
3. Insurgent group leader who thinks only inborn magic is valid
4. Sentient Curses that possess people

Xavier Roscoe is definitely one of my favorite side characters in the Shrouded Curses arc of the Grimoire Archive series. He's a member of the Curse Breakers Guild and a "ride-or-die" best friend to one of the MCs. Also, he *may* get a bit more of a moment to shine in a companion book.

Authors of #booksky, explain your story badly:

A bounty hunter on the dark side of a magical war was just trying to do his job when he finds a girl from the opposite side with a high-priority bounty on her head.
