The Wrath of Order Foreword
When I approached the completion of the Wrath of Order, I reached out to my friend and fellow designer, Josh Mandel, to help me with a section I couldn't do alone: the foreword. Luckily, he agreed to provide one. When he delivered it, I was stunned. It was an amazing piece that explored how my... Continue Reading →
The Wrath of Order Launch Date (plus preorders)
It’s official! The Wrath of Order will launch on Halloween, October 31, 2025! Maybe it’s a nod to some of the creepier bits in the book? Honestly, the launch just fell on that date because it will hopefully give me time to get my ducks in a row for the event. To make preorders possible,... Continue Reading →
New Chronicles of Chaos Bookmarks
When I add a new book to the series, I love to have the bookmarks I hand out at signings include the new cover art, so with the imminent addition of the Wrath of Order to the Chronicles, it made sense to update the bookmark design. Note that, because of the new title, the size... Continue Reading →
The Wrath of Order Cover Reveal
After months of working with the wonderfully talented folk at Miblart, I’m so happy to reveal the final cover for the Wrath of Order, the continuation of the Chronicles of Chaos and the first book in the Order Trilogy. Responses among those that have sneaked a peek at it already have been overwhelmingly positive. Many say... Continue Reading →
Are the Chronicles Headed to Hollywood?
If you’ve met me at a signing event, you’ve likely heard this story. When I appeared on the Dusty Wheel WoT podcast, someone was listening to it: the Executive Producer of the Wheel of Time TV show, Rick Selvage. He contacted me and, together, we relaunched the game to coincide with the launch of the... Continue Reading →
An Avalanche of Awards at the CIBAs
On April 4, I attended the Chanticleer Author Conference awards banquet with Sabrina, Emmett, and fellow author Maggie Beeler who was also competing for an award (and was a blast to hang out with). I was a finalist in four different categories: Ozma (fantasy), Dante Rossetti (YA), Short Stories, and Series. In the ceremony, they... Continue Reading →
The Realm of Gods won the Indies Today Award!
I woke up today to my phone ringing. My good friend and fellow author Jordan P. Barnes had to get up early to beat me to the punch by alerting me to the fact that the Realm of Gods just won the 2024 Indies Today Best Epic Fantasy award! This was a little shocking, first... Continue Reading →
Angry Birds: Space Assault, the Story
When I launched this site, I included a number of behind-the-scenes articles about games I'd shipped in my career as a designer. However, quite a few I left blank. I intended one day to return and write them up as well. Unfortunately for fans, writing my fantasy books took priority. That said, I put a... Continue Reading →
New book announcement: The Wrath of Order
Here, deep in the Mysterium, I like to keep track of all of my characters from the Chronicles of Chaos, but in my latest sweep, I discovered a few missing. That’s never a good sign. Usually, the only time I lose some of my characters is because I write a new (sometimes a teensy-bit fatal)... Continue Reading →
The Realm of Gods is a Readers’ Favorite Medalist
I look forward to the Readers' Favorite awards every year, mostly because I usually have a book competing in it. Two years ago, I attended the awards presentation in Miami and walked away with two gold medals, one for the Game of War and the other for the Child of Chaos. That was an amazing...
