Storm's Tempest Pre-Release

Book 4 of the Stormfall Chronicles has finally been cut loose! The eBook will be live as of October 1st, and the paperback is available now!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CJHPPJZF

It's been a longer journey than I might have anticipated, but it's good to have the concluding chapter to the original series released.

An army of dark fae on the march; a princess imprisoned in her own manor; and a desperate bid to rally support before the undead overwhelm the living.
 
The armies of Marwel are on the march, seeking to exact retribution over her fae cousins. The Arche-Fae Council, however, remains in disarray, and the fae armies number too few to stem the mounting tide. 
With war on their heels, Lynette and Baxter are sent as emissaries, in a frantic attempt to convince the kings of the adjoining, human kingdoms to join a war against Marwel's undead armies. But who will listen to their warnings? A peasant girl and a squire on the run from his native land? 
Elyan, the Fae King lives, but he has not returned to his former vigor. And Elise, the Fae Princess, has been confined to the Royal Estate. Even the mage-turned-swordsman Garth, is nowhere to be found – stalking north on his own quest. The fate of both human and fae worlds may yet come down to a farmer’s son without name or title, and a sorceress afraid to use her own power. 
For Lynette must battle her own demons. How can she confront the threats ahead - when she refuses to tap into her own magic and abilities? Whom she might hurt, and what might she become, should her own magic overwhelm her again? 
Book Four of the Stormfall Chronicles, Storm’s Tempest provides the stunning conclusion to the series - an Epic Fantasy for all ages.

Third Draft of Book 2 from the Wolves of Stormfall


I've completed the third draft for Book 2 of the Wolves of Stormfall. This novel bridges between where the first book in the Wolves of Stormfall series left off, and Callisto's appearance years later in Books 3 and 4 of the Stormfall Chronicles. The text now stands at 36,700 words long, compared to 25,400 at the end of the second draft. It's starting to feel more like it has the pieces in place. Just need to flesh it out a bit.

At this point, I have Book 4 of the Stormfall Chronicles ready for release (absent a cover design which is still in work), a third draft of Book 2 from the Wolves of Stormfall (I usually release a title after the sixth or seventh draft), and a first draft complete for a prequel to the Wolves of Stormfall. The first draft for Book 3 of the Wolves of Stormfall, which follows Callisto's story following the events in the Stormfall Chronicles, is partially complete.

A lot of balls to keep in the air, but I suspect things will fall into place more quickly now.
