At last, here is the cover and back cover blurb for Wolf Chosen, the sequel to The Certainty of Blood. As with that title, this cover was created by the talented team at Miblart. Pre-orders are coming soon!!

“I’ve been a slave since I was a boy. Now I’m free… or I thought I was.”

Haunted by restored memories, Aldan—the arena fighter known as Clanless—wants only to recover from his trauma and spend his new freedom with his beloved Kekeen. Unfortunately, his desires mean nothing to those seeking power in the chaos following the Hawk King’s death.

Dragged away by a new master, Aldan and his fellow arena fighters search for an escape in the midst of a confusing journey through the wilds of High Winter. Left behind, Kekeen navigates the rebellion’s new politics, baffled by the altered behavior of their triumphant leader.

Danger stalks both Aldan and Kekeen from blood-wraiths, cultists, beastmen, scheming Lords, and arena owners. But looming over all of it is the shadowy figure of Suirel, the god of chaos. Suirel longs to walk the surface of the world himself, unleashing his dark powers. But to do so, he needs a host, someone searching for power for himself. And the perfect candidate is about to walk into his grasp.

Aldan fights to regain his too-brief freedom, but will he be willing to fight for something far greater?

Wolf Chosen releases on May 6!

Wolf Chosen is on its way to the beta readers! I’ve seen the first sketch of the cover. Everything is on track for the May release! Stay tuned for pre-orders sometime soon.

Meanwhile, I’m starting the writing of Chroma, the final book of the Dragontek Lore series. The widget on the right will be updated as progress warrants. I’ve got a lot of threads to wrap up here. Should be fun!

It’s a title reveal! For so long, I’ve been writing out “the sequel to The Certainty of Blood,” and I’m tired of all those words. Let’s make it simpler. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you… the TITLE of the sequel to The Certainty of Blood: Wolf Chosen!

I’ve written a long explanation of how I came to this title decision, but that was sent out to my newsletter subscribers. You should totally join up with them so you don’t miss out on quality content like this. 🙂

At any rate, stay tuned for more details!

The editing/revision/proofing process is well underway! Stay tuned!

If you’ve been following along on the right there… you can see the facts. The first draft of my latest novel is now complete!

I’m talking about the sequel to The Certainty of Blood (Title still pending.)

If you need me, I’ll be taking a nap on the couch over there.

November (unofficial NaNoWriMo) writing results: 47,226 words. Not quite 50K, but very significant progress made on this book! If you’ve been following on the widget to the right, you’ll see that I’m over 80% through. I’m about to head into the climax. Poor Clanless…

I’ve done National Novel Writing Month in the past. Not last year, of course, as my hand was in a cast. Ouch. I’m not “officially” doing it this year through the website and everything.

But… I’m unofficially doing it. I’ve been very slow this year in my writing, partly because of that aforementioned hand injury, and then everything else that happened this year. I will be very glad to put 2023 behind me for many reasons.

So I’m doing my best to jumpstart this book I’m working on, the sequel to The Certainty of Blood. You can follow along on the bar to the right. So far, for the first three days of November, I’ve written 5,181 words.

A good start!
