Update, long overdue

Book 2 is on its way! It's currently in the very capable hands of an editor. I anticipate to have the book back in about 1 month and will hopefully have the edits and changes completed roughly 1 month later.

I am also looking for a cover artist right now. I have talked to a few people, but have yet to accept anyone as of yet.

Book 2 was previously under the working title The Scorched Earth. It is now being called The Heir of Ænæria.

In the meantime, I am currently updating supplemental information. I've just added an "Index" page with many of the key terms from the series. They do contain spoilers for the first book--so be wary! Speaking of the first book, there will be a new and improved edition coming out soon.

Hopefully, there will be more frequent updates. Though I think I've said that before...

Also, the first draft of Book 3 is well underway....

Book 3 Excerpt

After a near-sleepless night, he needed something to keep his eyes open. Coffee every morning hardly counted, and it was such an inefficient manner of keeping oneself awake. Gerald searched through the medicine cabinet. He swiped his finger across the screen, waiting for the display to load the available drugs. Looked like he still had enough credits to purchase a psychostimulant. Not one of those dangerous street varieties that would throw him into a homicidal rage. Thankfully, he and Deanna held good jobs. They had access to top-of-the-line medications without an appointment. In fact, he hadn’t seen a doctor in person in years now. He picked out a longer-acting drug that wouldn’t give him such a crash after. He still had to take care of Kyle. The glass screen slid open and dispensed a single sealed tablet. Gerald swallowed the pill with a sip of coffee and felt the weight of insomnia lift from his shoulders. “…anniversary of the twentieth, and final, GeneHome mission to Mars,” the n

On Writing The King’s Gambit (Part 2)

(Source: https://www.belfercenter.org/sites/default/files/styles/medium_380_230_/public/images/event/montage-extreme-1.jpg?itok=aMTabGhg) If you read my book and have a keen eye (or read the afterword) you’ll probably notice that it’s based on a world ravaged by climate change. There are other factors that led to the post-apocalyptic setting, but I’d be spoiling it for you if I mentioned them. Though it’s not explicitly stated in the story, much of the environment in the story is in its current state due to the effects of environmental degradation. It’s hot out, plants don’t grow as well, mosquitos are everywhere, people need to cover their skin from the sun, there are lots of storms, and the color green is used—a lot. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted to make my world post-apocalyptic. To me, that’s nearly synonymous with climate change. So, in case you care or are interested, here are some of my thoughts on climate change based on some scientific evidence. I provi
