Extended Review for Storm's Herald Featured on Lia Dospetti's Website

I was delighted to see Lia Dospetti's extended review for Storm's Herald, the first novel in the Stormfall Chronicles, released on her website. Lia describes the novel as:

Intense and adventurous Epic YA Fantasy that reads like High Fantasy for adults in a "vintage" writing style that’s a perfect fit for the world built.

So glad she enjoyed the book.  Thanks again, Lia for agreeing to review my debut novel.

Status Update - Book 3: First Draft Complete

It's taken a little longer than I had expected, but I've finally completed the first draft for Book 3 of the Stormfall Chronicles: a total of 98,000 words.

Looking back, it took me a little over three and a half months (about 15 weeks) to complete that first draft. That's an average of about 900 words per day, written in my available free time. The overall pace was nearly identical to writing the second book in the series.

It's a little longer than I thought it might be at this phase. I had more scenes which needed to be added than I had realized. Right now, it looks like the third book is going to be closer in size to the second novel than it will be to the first.

Now to begin the editing process.

The Tapestry of Life: Characters Expected to Reappear

I've had a couple of questions about some of the characters from the novels, so I thought I'd give a little advance peek into what lies ahead.

For my readers who may have wondered, Kalden will be reappearing in the third book in the series.

Waya will be reappearing in the fourth book.
