My Projects
Here's where we can take a look at the things that I'm working on right now! This isn't an exhaustive list, mind you; at any given time, I have several irons in the fire that I'm either only dabbling in or I'm keeping quiet. That said, this will give you a general idea of what to expect!
01
Innocence: Volume One of The Shadowsteel Saga
An epic fantasy set on planet Telluris, Innocence follows eight main characters as a sudden crisis strikes the world: an ancient sorcerer, thought dead or imprisoned, has resurfaced, and is now plotting not only to conquer Telluris, but to resurrect his dark god.
The Shadowsteel Saga - a series consisting of the novels Innocence, Tyranny, and The Fall - will tell the story of a war between Light and Dark, with all of Telluris' fate in the balance.
02
The Shattered Ring
An epic fantasy set on planet Aiaona, The Shattered Ring follows a man named Trel and his three companions as they plan to orchestrate a rebellion against the pantheon and take back Trel's homeland. However, to fight the Eternals, Trel must first find a way to become one.
The Shattered Ring is book one of the Direlord duology, and is planned to release in 2026 before Knights of Adorian (upcoming) and Tyranny. A sequel is planned, but will be pretty significantly detached.
03
Ambition: A Shadowsteel Novella
Set between Innocence and its planned sequel Tyranny, Ambition follows a young warlock named Nate and the warlord Vesper as they collaborate to create a weapon that will turn the tide of the war. However, such an ambitious gambit will have ramifications. perhaps even on other worlds.
Ambition is planned to release before Tyranny, which is expected to release in 2028, but likely will not be finished until 2026.
04
Steel and Shadow: Volume One of Project: Rho
The first part of 'Project: Rho', a series I've been working on under the table for about a year.
Steel and Shadow is extremely ambitious and presents a fun challenge to write. It is closely related to The Shadowsteel Saga, and tells stories beyond those that the novels will tell, from as far as 2000 years before and to the beginning of Tyranny, the sequel to Innocence.
Steel and Shadow will be succeeded by five other installments, which will represent the bulk of Project: Rho.
Its primary color will be violet.
