A writer as well as a rider

Did you know I am a published author?

I have written three novels -- a trilogy! -- available at Amazon.com individually and as a single volume. All are available as eBooks, and most are available in paperback; I'm currently working on releasing the third book in paperback form.

The trilogy is called The Taesian Chronicles.

Book one is Ohlen's Arrow. "Vengeance drives him. Can honor save him?"

Book two is Ohlen's Bane. "There is no honor among brothers."

Book three is Paragon's Call. "The sunset of an old hero. The dawn of a new foe."

I am currently in the process of writing the fourth book, which will be the first of three books in a second trilogy. Stay tuned.

My second novel is now available, Ohlen's Bane

Anything worth doing once is worth doing twice.

I just released my second novel, Ohlen's Bane, available as an e-book for Kindle and Nook. It will be available for iOS devices on the Apple iTunes Bookstore soon as well.

A free preview edition in PDF format is available for download here.

Ohlen's Arrow is the first book in the series, and Ohlen's Bane is the sequel. You can read about them here and here.

Yes, I intend to write a third book in the series, perhaps more. Stay tuned.

My first novel, Ohlen's Arrow, is now available

Forgive this shameless plug, but I have published my first novel, a gritty fantasy story called Ohlen's Arrow, and it's now available for Kindle at Amazon.com and for Nook at Barnes & Noble for $2.99. I have also made a free sample available for download [PDF]. It is also available in the iTunes Bookstore.

Vengeance drives him. Will honor save him?

Ohlen's Arrow is a fast paced story with gripping action, quirky characters, and a twist that turns a tried-and-true fantasy trope on its head.

A savage tribe of cru'gan brutally slaughtered his family, orphaning Ohlen when he was still a boy. Twenty years later a ferocious attack driven by a mysterious witch sends him on a perilous journey to rescue his best friend's child. His choice between vengeance and honor will determine not only his own fate, but the life or death of those he loves.

It took me roughly three months to write the book and nine months to get the cover designed and edit the text. I have already begun the process of writing the sequel.
