In 2015, I began working on an animated short called “The Last Hunt.” In 2017, I halted work on the short to focus on writing the story as a novel instead. In 2020, I published IN THE ORBIT OF SIRENS, and the rest of the SONG OF KAMARIA would follow in the subsequent years. Now, in 2022, I am finally releasing the unfinished short that started it all. The short takes place… Read More

It being November, I want to shout out some things I’m thankful for. First of all my family and friends. I was fortunate enough to take an extended vacation back to my hometown in Illinois. I got to catch up with lots of people I hadn’t seen in a long time (some before the pandemic!) and it was refreshing being in my old stomping grounds. I even got to take my kids… Read More

Fast forward, it has won multiple awards, placed as a finalist in the #SPSFC contest on Twitter, and even earned a real-life medal from Readers’ Favorite! It also introduced me to… Read More

Due to a stocking error, Amazon has discontinued sales of the hardcover editions of the Song of Kamaria. To correct this, I have decided to publish hardcovers through Amazon KDP, so that Amazon can print them on demand and they will never be considered out of stock. Sadly, since Amazon KDP does not have a dust jacket option, this means that if you purchase a hardcover for the Song of Kamaria past… Read More
