an engrossing and imaginative work of fiction with plenty of apocalyptic delights, vivid battles, and tense dramatic moments to offer its readers.

I would highly recommend Rivers Run Red to fans of immersive fantasy worldbuilding, three-dimensional and in-depth character work, and for dark and dangerous adventure readers everywhere.

Readers’ Favourite have reviewed my book and given it a resounding 5 star’s (across all categories in the critique as well). Since I don’t pay for reviews it had sat on their shelves so long I had given up on it ever being picked for review (I still think they are a mostly pay for review site). Anyway, they did, back in June 2022 only I never noticed and they never emailed to tell me so it has just sat there like a prehistoric fossil awaiting to be unearthed (to much?) and now that it has I couldn’t be happier with it.

My latest Fantasy Newsletter is out here. Check it out!

Sorry, folks. I know it has been too long since my last book review and newsletter. I will try and remedy this once I have finished my first draft of Chaos Reign (which is near, see my book update below!).

Book Updates

Book 4 Chaos Reign

I am not resting on my laurels. Chaos Reign is well under way (about 250k words for people who like to count that sort of thing). I just finished the Chapters, “Yellow Snow” & “Wraith to Ruin” which completes Tom Trickle’s story arc for volume 4. I am now finishing Tannon Crick’s arc and my latest chapter is called, “The Hands Of Man.”

I know creatively I owe no apologize! This is my story after all, but I would like to think everyone here is along for the journey and that ultimately in reading my books you feel something and take something from them when the story is done. So I do feel I need to address why book 4 has taken longer to deliver than expected and promised (for which you have my heartfelt thanks for your patience). In essence real life hit me in the face, jogging me out of the world of Nu and back into this one. I can only express what a tough 2 years it has been. Last year was rough for me writing wise, real work and all that sh*t meant I did not have the bandwidth to write at the pace I would have liked to. This year, unfortunately has taken an even bigger hit but for different reasons. Yes, my necessary job has kept me busy but my personal circumstances and having to care for a loved one has meant I have not been able to devote the hours I need to bring volume 4 to a conclusion. I can only ask that you please stay with me.

On a more positive note, things are beginning to pick up, certainly my writing has started to again. Probably not enough to hit a release for this year, because whilst I am almost, almost finished, Chaos Reign will need editing and then I need to engage my beta readers for feedback, continuity checks etc etc (if you are interested in becoming a beta reader by the way please reach out to me via my contacts page).

For those of you still with me, who have stayed the course, I thank you. It means a lot to me that you are still here. Believe me, I know the frustration of reading a fantasy series and having to wait for the next book release! I do. Especially so in this case, where there is such an eclectic cast of characters and you need to wrack your brain as to where our tale was at the end of book 3! 1st world problems, hey.

Quotes of the Month

The universe is chaos and we an infinitesimal part of its whole. The only constant is the past. Those stars in the heavens are not unchanged but roil in ever-evolving motion and energy. It is just that your viewpoint is so far removed you cannot see it. Perspective shapes so much of life. The past guides the future just as each step along the way informs the next. But always remember, the future is uncertain and unknowable. Chaos rules all things. – Sai, Book Two Shadows Fall

Sword and mind must be united. Technique by itself is insufficient, and spirit alone is not enough. – Sword Master Yamada Jirokich
