Lionsheart – Kickstarter
I’ve launched a little early to hopefully give folks extra reading time leading up to the book’s release. I know the covid-19 virus is much upon everyone’s minds at present, so I do understand if few of you are in the mood for pre-ordering entertainment items.

Blog postHi folks – here’s a quick note to let you know the ebook versions of my two new poetry collections are slowly filtering down to retailers – I see the Amazon territories and B&N are on it but other folks are lagging a bit.

Blog postGood morning! I’m just popping in to share some news – I’ve got two collections up for pre-order right now, after a fairly long poetry hiatus I’ve suddenly been pretty busy, one is free-verse and the other is a mix of haiku & senryu – just in case anyone was looking to pick up a Christmas present approximately 7 months early
Most retailers have the paperback now but the ebook is trailing – however Book Depository has free postage at least!

Blog postThe Ruby Heart - Out Now :)

You can grab your copy from Oz retailers here (or the same link works for international buyers when your timezone clicks over too).
Since this is the one where Never learns his true name at last, I'm pretty excited to see how everyone reacts :) As part of release day, here's a preview of a map for Never's world too - it's a partial view of the full map, which was a kickstarter reward -

Blog postImperial Towers (Book of Never #5) is now available for pre-order!
Here's a mini-blurb:
Only one thing stands between Never and answers – his brother.
Driven toward the enemy-occupied Imperial City, Never’s doubts grow. Even with new knowledge about his powers, can he truly keep his friends safe in a warzone? Or, like too many times before, will he end up responsible for the deaths of those he should have protected?
Barnes & Noble are a little beh -
Blog postImperial Towers is rushing toward release!
But March 1st is still a little ways away so I wanted to share another 'writing soundtrack' - albums and songs I've been immersed in over the months while writing or editing Imperial Towers.
(Tomorrow or so, these will have links, but for now it's just the images) -
Blog postOnly two weeks to go now and Imperial Towers is due for release!
While you wait, I thought I'd post a random quote from somewhere random...page 113 as it turns out:
