Up-Coming Books

These books are not yet completed, sorry to say.  However, they are in the works, and I will give you as much information as possible about them without giving anything away!  

In Publishing Stage
Right now, nothing is 'in progress' so far as publishing goes - just lots of writing and some very recently finished!  

Most recently published:  Wounds All Heals and  Days of the Weak

My first series was finish about a year and a half ago with: Spinning Threads and The Final Weaving, both in August, 2011.  

In Writing Stage
Where to start...  I’ve counted, and have more than twenty stories in the works at this time.  None are much more than half written, so don’t get too eager!  Since I’m going to college this year, I cannot even guess how long it will be before I finish another book.  
Here are some teasers, however:


These book-in-progress are based in the same world as the Life Web Series: 

Nightfell 
This tells the story of a rising power in a corrupt city during the days of the Ascension Wars.  This city, Borrani, is ruled by drug lords and self-made Half-Kings and Royals, a group of magically powerful individuals that are slowly decaying the city betwixt them.  Fell Rex is the son of a Half-King and a Royal...but for some reason, he wasn’t born amoral.  This catalogues his laborious, torturous rise to power as he seeks to save a city that is so sick with immorality that it can’t even see that it’s dying anymore.  


The Reckoning Times 
This book briefly tells of some background for the final chapters of Nightfell.  
It mentions Alanysse, a half-Minth sorceress who is well on her way to being part of the King’s Quiver.  (At this point in time, of course, they are the Quiver of the Absent King, since this is during the Ascension Wars)  Mostly, the story is about her master Draygon, who must take down his powerful brother, who is using his magic to destroy any other magic-users so that he can take over the city of Farcross.  He ends up sparing on particularly skilled youngster: a boy named Katch who just might be part air-elemental.  While Alanysse and the other Arrows are busy trying to take down the corrupt, diseased city of Borrani, Draygon is pitting himself against his brother, aptly named Aymred.    

The Reluctant Vengeful
This is the book explaining the entrance of the villain in Nightfell, along with further background.  
The Ascension Wars are in full swing, and the wizards of Serecros and Rerecros are at their wits end - so when a rising danger reaches their attention, they send Deinon, a young Tracker and Mindreader, out to solves the problem for them.  In the journey to bring Toberus Darklow - a man with a dangerous mind and charisma as well - to justice, Deinon travels with past associates of Toberus: a bowman, a fighter, a weakened mage, and a strange nonhuman who carries two swords but only ever draws one.  There are secrets hiding everywhere, but no one knows who holds the key to each...but Deinon fears that the secret he bears (a secret about a horrific power) will get loose and destroy everything he has ever worked for.  And to make matters worse, Toberus has done his homework, and might be up to more trouble than anyone knows.  


The New Quiver
This book occurs after the Ascension Wars and any books in blue.
It comes alone many generations later, in a time of peace following the horrific Ascension Wars in which nearly every human kingdom in the land was fighting over heirs and power and control.  Now a king sits on the throne of the city of Enid, protected by an elite group called the Arrows of the King’s Quiver.  This group boasts the inhumanly skilled swordsman, healers, mages, and even assassins, although the last is barely needed now.  This Quiver’s predecessors were the ones that saved the human kingdoms from total destruction by careful use of their specified skills.  Now they guard the king...along with their three apprentices.  To shorten the plot a little, the apprentices end up in charge of the city, and all manner of troubles instantly crops up, from the appearance of a kidnapped Minth prince to a half-crazy dragon bent on challenging the King’s Quiver...or, lacking that, these budding apprentices. 


I am finally writing a sequel to the Life Web Series!

The Last Rage 
The world wasn't a safe place, but it was livable - until the Glass Army showed up.
Seemingly coming out of nowhere and built of nigh-unbreakable, glass-like material, these sleek humanoid figures march across the lands like an unstoppable, deadly tide.  Only the heaviest weapons will shatter them and only the mightiest magic will break them, and both are in short supply as more and more people fall to this cold army that doesn't feel emotion or pain.  
The wizards of Rerecros, along with their newest member, Raynara, need a plan.  Unable to spare many people, they send out a small cohort - the Seventh Hand, under the stolid Captain Saullus.  They are sent out on what many would call a fool's mission: find a mythical library rumored to house the forgotten treasures deemed to dangerous for society, all defended by a legendary, secretive clan of archers, the fabled Kell'deThade.  If they get there, they don't know what they'll find, but the hope is that they will find a weapon to destroy all of the Glass Soldiers.
If they get there.
Every day waiting for the success or failure of the Seventh Hand is another day where people die, however, so Raynara (along with her friend, Pacrion) convinces the other Rerecros wizards that they need a back-up plan.  
Who do they know that is powerful enough to take on an army, and maybe just determined enough to do it?
Thane is about to meet up with his old friends again, and this time Free Magic might not be the only power inside of him fighting to get out.  


I have considered writing a sequel to From Ice to Ashes - comment on the Blog homepage on what you think of this!


These books are not related to anything, and are not in the same world as the Life Web Series listed above:


Pack 
This is technically a futuristic story, in which Werewolves have been genetically engineered into a sort of shape-shifting strike force.  They’re made mainly to run in and wreak havoc, but NewSci, their creators, want something more violent.  They start to create true predators, and only Handler Amos Everett stands in their way.  He manages to destroy the first batch of ‘predatorized’ Strike Dogs, as they’re called, salvaging one that is still untouched by the new developments.  Galvin is now all that’s left of Pack 3, and the only hope for preventing NewSci from releasing killers into the world.  

Mance 
There are normal people, and then there are Mancers.  Shawn Goldsman, an unassuming boy in a small town with a strange affinity for technology, doesn’t know anything about Mancers...until he’s kidnapped and told that he is one.  He’s actually a Techomancer, and his kidnappers know a million-and-one ways that they can put him to good use.  Shawn has no choice but to do what they ask and become a criminal right alone with them.
