If you felt a disturbance in the Force, it's because as of ten minutes ago, "Debunked" is enrolled in KDP Select. At 20Books Vegas conference, way more experienced fantasy authors told me KU was the mamajamma. So, here...we...go! amazon.com/Debunked-Terra…

@CHRISDBRAND It's possible I might need to improve my promotional efforts😂 I'm grateful Amazon suggested it, though!

@DitoAbbott I was on Amazon and it suggested your book 2 and I'm like "wait, wtf? When did that come out!" 😂

Cover reveal for “Thugwallop; Volume Two of the Terravenum Chronicles”!

@CHRISDBRAND Cheers! I'm just grateful the message got out! I appreciate the support:) Book 3 is well on the way, too.

@DitoAbbott I'm so annoyed the algorithm hid this from me. Will get the second book when I do my next Amazon haul.

Working hard on Book 3. Today I invented a sport involving giant spiders and jousting. So things are going well.

thanks for the shout out!

Dusting off my original arrows-and-pointy-things graphic while Debunked is on sale. I once found someone using this image as an example of What Not To Do in their article about how to make arrows-and-pointy-things graphics. I heartily disagree and hereby double down.

@CHRISDBRAND Thanks very much, Christopher!

This was a great book. Just a fun, all ages adventure.

I always take screenshots when my books move up the charts during a sale, but this one was special because my daughter Z LOVES the Hunger Games series, so I banked major Dad Points.

If your Kindle needs more airships, crackpot inventions, lost explorers, and joy, I've got good news for you...(link in bio)

San Francisco Fan Expo Day 2! Great show and cosplay is on point. If you’re in the area, drop by Booth A409 and say hi

THUGWALLOP IS AVAILABLE ON MY WEBSITE! Holy smokes. A lot of work went into being able to write that sentence:)

Prepping, packaging, and relicing books and maps for upcoming live events. The Fountain Hills Craft fair this weekend is my only Arizona show, so stop by if you can! Thugwallop paperbacks are in and look PHENOMENAL, especially next to Debunked. Kirk nailed the cover.

Back in Phoenix! Boxes of books and illustrations await, ready to be packaged and reliced. I made a Spinal Tap Stonehenge error when I ordered Thugwallop’s desktop banner. This thing is so lightweight, if anyone sneezes, it’s going to fly off my table. Super cute, though:)

New Stamp Day! With every new book in the series, I design new rubber stamps specific to the story for book packaging. Stoked with how these guys came out. As always, the stamps make more sense when you’ve read the novel. The lady at the stamp shop had a lot of questions for me.

It's late and I'm going to bed, but I just want to say that today I saw the first draft of Thugwallop's cover and y'all aren't ready. Stoked.

I love following along on maps as I read a story. With Debunked, I drew a full Terravenum world map. For my follow up novel, Thugwallop, I zoomed in for a close-up of places in the story, including Easter eggs. There's going to be a lot of coffee-staining in the near future!

Formatting an interior map for Thugwallop. I'm always surprised at how much I need to pump the contrast up to look good in print. The Terravenum world map took me a year to illustrate, but it's proved one of the most important creative efforts I've ever done.

Illustrating more potential cover art for Thugwallop. When I originally conceived of the Spires of Dubious Wisdom, the hermits lived in outhouse-sized shacks. When I wrote the scenes, I discovered they have a lot more room (and possibly hot tubs?).

Editors have given the green light to announce that Book Two is titled: “Thugwallop”. If that changes, this conversation never happened. Finishing artwork for Thugwallop’s cover. This is “Delver’, a submersible who plays a role in the story. Designed with puffer fish in mind.
