Works In Progress

Here are some of the things I’m working on. I’ll try to update this page when there are significant events. Note: for the books that are already available, see my BOOKS section of the website for the story description.

Hero’s Honor (Hero Academy Series Book 4)

This is the newest book in the Hero Academy series. It’s all about Jia Toun and the mission she has received from the Hero Academy to go to her father’s homeland, Shinyan. It was launched on June 30, 2021.

Song of Prophecy Series Boxed Set (Books 1-3)

Books 1-3 of the Song of Prophecy series. This omnibus launched in 2021.

Hero’s Knowledge (Hero Academy Series Book 5)

Evon Desconse is having issues tied to the past his friends don’t know about. In the search for a hidden cache of reference materials left for the Malatirsay by the prophet Tsosin Ruus, he battles with that past, his place in the group of his hero friends, and his role in the rapidly accelerating war with the animaru. The book is in editing and will be launched on May 31, 2022.

Hero’s Darkness (Hero Academy Series Book 6)

This book involves Raki Sinde and the challenges of his growing power with dark magic. It’s written but I haven’t slotted it into my editor’s schedule yet. This book is available for preorder now. Launch date is August 12, 2022.

Hero’s Strength (Hero Academy Series Book 7)

For those who are curious about Aila Ven’s past, this is the book for you. The book has been written, but not yet edited. This should launch around the end of the summer or fall of 2022.

Hero’s Anger (Hero Academy Series Book 8)

This book highlights Marla Shrike and her progressively difficult control on the curious anger that has been afflicting her. The book has been written, but not yet edited. I’m hoping to get this one out in 2022.

Hero’s Life (Hero Academy Series Book 9)

Lily Fisher has always idolized the hero Erent Caahs. Now that she is working with him every day, it seems that her life would be satisfied and fulfilling, but events she has experienced have given her an unorthodox perspective on things. When a relatively routine mission turns into a quest issued by a goddess, she has to examine her motivations, which may have repercussions for not only her and her friends, but her family as well. This book has been written, but not yet edited. As much as I’d love to get this one out in 2022, I think I’ll be running out of year, so 2023 looks more likely.

Hero’s Light (Hero Academy Series Book 10)

Saria Gilwenys is one of the few living members of the astridae, a magical race that was nearly wiped out in the War of Magic. An old friend to Marla and Evon from her Hero Academy days, she has returned and is helping in the war against the animaru in any way she can. Her first mission seems like it might be a boring affair, but in the Dark Days, even routine tasks can sometimes turn deadly. I’m almost finished writing this book. Launch definitely won’t be until 2023. I don’t have cover art for it yet.

LitRPG/Progression Series

I have finished writing the first book in a new series, though I haven’t settled on a name for it yet (an unusual situation for the point at which I’m at in the process). This will be a fair-sized series and if the first book is any indication, each book will be significantly larger than my normal epic fantasy books. Stay tuned for more information on this project. I don’t have a schedule yet for when I might launch it and I don’t have cover art yet.

The Seven

I’m trying something new with this one. Once I can fit writing this one into my schedule, I will be releasing this book, a chapter or two at a time, to the subscribers of my PEP Talk newsletter. I’m not sure when I’ll be able to get the structure sufficiently done to start posting, though. I’m still doing research before I start writing.

It is a story about a world-ending cataclysm that leaves the few people left wondering what happened and how they are to approach the future. The secret seems to be wrapped up in the eight people found at what seems to be ground zero of the devastation. One of the eight is not like the others. What secrets do they hold and how will knowing them help to rebuild civilization or prevent an even worse cataclysm?


Honorable Mentions

I’m looking at putting out some boxed sets for the Hero Academy series soon. I may be able to get the first one out in 2022, if I can get the cover art done. It’s getting more difficult to get appointments with my cover artists because they’re so busy. The first boxed set will probably be Hero Academy books one through four.
