For new readers, if you visit The Dragon’s Brood Cycle’s official website and check out the media section, you’ll find a recording of the song feature in the short story Harmony’s Song which is currently free on Kindle. I wrote the song, and my wife, Molly, performs it. 🎵📚 🐉⚔️🧜‍♀️

It’s ben a good launch day for Haven Divided. Thanks to all my readers for the support and kind words. I hope you enjoy reading volume 2 as much as I enjoyed writing it. 🐉🧜‍♀️🧙‍♂️🧙‍♀️ 💜📚✍️

You just could not pay me enough to go skydiving. ✈️😱

Today’s the day! Haven Divided, the second volume of The Dragon’s Brood Cycle, has been released for Kindle worldwide.

If you’re just getting started with The Dragon’s Brood Cycle, the first volume, Haven Lost, is free on Kindle for a limited time, as is the short companion story Harmony’s Song. You can also check out this guest blog post I wrote for Proof Positive.

It’s been a long time in coming, and I’m incredibly proud of this book. Thanks to everyone who has stuck with me through this journey. I really can’t wait to see what everyone thinks of Emily’s continuing adventures.

Thanks for reading!

🙌 Haven Lost and Harmony’s Song are both free for a limited time to celebrate the launch of Haven Divided tomorrow. I hope you’ll give them a try! 📚

Haven Divided is out tomorrow! I was invited to write a guest post on the Proof Positive blog to celebrate the launch. Check it out and share! — Story Ideas Are Like Autumn Winds

I wish apps would just all settle on either Cmd-R or Cmd-Shift-R for the Refresh/Reload actions. I invariably press the wrong one for whichever one I happen to be in. 😒

I think I might be falling in love with KeyboardMaestro. 😃

If you say “By the power of Grayskull!” to the Amazon Echo, Alexa will respond with “I have the power!” This fills me with irrepressible joy. 🤓⚔️

Book marketing generates more work and more stress than writing the damn thing in the first place. 😬✍️

Someone needs to make an Apple iiGS or iiE replica keyboard—or at least one with the same key layout—that works as a BlueTooth keyboard for modern machines. 🤓 I can’t be the first person to wish for such a thing.

TFW someone makes a comment about a tiny detail in your new novel that unwittingly brushes remarkably close to a plot point later in the series. 😆

I am incredibly excited to finally type those words. Haven Divided: The Dragon’s Brood Cycle, Vol. 2 is available to pre-order from the Kindle store. It will be released on 31/July, and the paperback edition will be released shortly thereafter.

Forever is comprised of nows…

Emily Haven and her friends have been given the seemingly impossible task of uniting the worlds—a mission they failed once before, in another lifetime.

But Emily made a promise, and she intends to keep it. A small boy risked his life to save hers, and while Michael sets out to rejoin the Dragon’s Brood, she heads east with Celine and Corbbmacc to rescue Daniel from a band of desert slavers.

Time does not stand still, however, and the dark legends are true. They deal in blue fire; they deal in death; and they travel through the long nights on autumn winds. Samhain has come, and this year, the harvest will be in blood, gold, and souls.

Getting visual formatting right for epub and paperback publications is such a frustrating process when you can’t see the fruits of your labors. 😓✍️
