Treated myself to a canvas of the cover for The Cursed of Atharia. It is now hanging proudly on my bedroom wall. Newfoundland Canvas did an amazing job with it. I will treasure it forever. 💚

He spun his arms, the six Cursed souls appearing before him
in a circle. Energy built up between them. Azriel's eyes turned solid blue as her power climaxed. She pulled her sword arm back, and with a mighty yell, she swung it in an arc. Golden flames blasted from the blade. Elex cried out as they washed over him; the sound of glass shattering reached his ears as he collapsed to the ground. Four of the souls tinkled to the floor, rolling harmlessly away. Elex fought to breathe as he struggled to push himself to his elbows. He raised his head, glaring at Azriel.
"Wh-What have you done?"
Azriel sheathed her weapon and slipped the shield onto her
back. "What needed to be done."

Snippet from Atharian Chronicles 2: The Soul of Atharia.

Have I piqued your curiosity? If so, consider picking up a copy of Atharian Chronicles 1: The Cursed of Atharia to begin the journey.

Here’s a line from The Soul of Atharia: Atharian Chronicles 2. The Gutless Politician, Senator Claymore, is addressing a crowd in the capital city:

“I leave you now to make ready,” he said. “But take heart. Lord Elex will walk among you, soon.”

A few pictures from yesterday’s Local Authors Showcase at the Coles Avalon Mall. It was my very first event. I got to brag about @shadowsparkpub.bsky.social, and managed to sell eight of the ten books I had with me. It was so much fun. I can’t wait for the next one.

I’ve written about seven or eight chapters for Ashes of Atharia this week. This is a second draft, complete rewrite. But there’s always room for improvement.

Six chapters written in four days. Book 3 rewrites are coming along nicely. Chapter 18 is finished, bringing me one chapter closer to “The End”. I gotta say, the bad guys are winning a lot in this book.

A snippet from one of my (many) WIPs. The Hill: The Chronicles of Jackson Matthews book 1. There’s a story behind this scene, and the character, Davis. But it would take too long to tell.

Decided it was time for a Lock Screen change. I absolutely adore this artwork. The colour of Jack’s wings is gorgeous. This piece was crafted by @azshure.bsky.social. There’s another version of Jack Beckett I need to get, but…*spoilers* 🤫

I did do some writing this last week, but it’s for book 3 of Atharian Chronicles and, well…spoilers. But these book 3 rewrites are ten times better than draft one. 😁🥳

Hey, hey! My all time favourite character is in this one!!!

Jack the Ripper is the villain in the Best Nightmare series, and I’ve been dying to tell his origin story.

Along with Jack the Ripper, there are many more deliciously evil villains to swoon over in V.

Keep your peepers peeled!! 👀

Today's affirmation:

Rest is not quitting. It’s strategic self-preservation, thank you very much.

Remember to relax the space between your ears. And as always, drink your fucking water.

I usually go to my sister-in-law for book recommendations. We tend to have the same taste in books, and she hasn’t led me astray…yet. 🤣

My shout out goes to @new-found-lander.bsky.social. He and his wife have been big supporters ever since I met them a year or so ago. I was able to gift him a signed copy of my book yesterday. 💚

Dropped off three copies of The Cursed of Atharia to local authors, Alex Hickey, Ida Linehan Young, and Jay McGrath. They’ve all been big supporters, and I wanted to repay their kindness. 💚

I’m blown away. 21 in coming of age fantasy? Last time I checked it was 85. I am amazed beyond words. I don’t know what to say, other than thank you.

This is not Katy Perry

The Cursed of Atharia is now available on Amazon. Perfect for fans of fantasy, adventure, action, with a splash of drama and romance.

(I don’t know why the link is saying Katy Perry. But it leads to the book)

As I tumble through this simulation
The game we call Life
I seek to transcend this earthly coil
To ponder the inner workings
Of the universe
Where stars collide
Where instance contracts
To find enlightenment
And escape finality’s grip

Deep in the Den
Wrapped in tender embrace
Souls seek surrender
As two become one
The gods only know
How we came to be
Entangled within the web
Of the universe’s design
Come with me
And believe
We can be more than
What our minds conceive

I’m proud of this cover. It’s simple and elegant. And it adds a fiery flare to my phone’s Lock Screen. I can’t wait to hold it in my hands, to have it on my shelf.

Six days, Jack. Six days.

I’m sorry I haven’t been active. Been in a really bad mental state lately and needed a break from social media. But I have a book coming out this week, and I really need to promote it more. Six days left.
