The Northern Cycle Published!

Hello Everyone! I know it’s been quite a long time since I last posted on the blog. I’ve been busy with school work and finishing the third novel taking place in the world of Yennen. The Northern Cycle follows the adventures of Vilsind Laymund, a chieftain of the Suevi tribe in Hirdland called into a foreign war. The Kaiser of Falkland, Darador, leads his forces against the Skegan League in an attempt to subdue the entirety of the northern provinces. Vilsind must carefully navigate a world of political subterfuge as factions vie for control and freedom. A black dragon rises over Hirdland and the endless cycle of war and death resumes.

What’s Next? Author Blog Update

Hello everyone,

 

After the successful launch and sales behind The Cripple and the King, I’m finally ready to announce my next two projects, which I’m hoping to finish a majority of the work on over this school year. I’ve just started Sophomore year so progress might be a bit slow, but I think I’ll have plenty of time to work on both. The first, is the next installment in the fantasy series, The Northern Cycle, which follows a tribe of Hirdlanders, who some of you may remember as some of the antagonists in The Sword to Unite, and their forced recruitment into a foreign war whose outcome could decide the fate of their nation and the entirety of the northern realms. Following the main character Vilsind Layson and his tribe’s interactions with Kaiser Darador, a young king driven by ambition and an unconquerable intellect for politics and war. Vilsind must carefully navigate an intricate web of lies and outrun the past of his father’s cursed name. This is the cover art for the book, created by artist Reza Afshar.

Another project, which I will reveal in a little bit, will be in a new genre and is heavily inspired by the works of Lovecraft and the art of H.R. Giger, and I’m very excited about it!

Thanks for reading!
