Pre-Order DEUCE

Galleries of Stone,

Galleries of Stone Prequel. Deuce has been serialized over on my Patreon for quite some time, unfolding little by little over the course of … wow, it’s been years! But it’s finally complete, and it’s going to be ready for readers everywhere as an e-book.

At the moment, pre-orders are set up on Amazon, but once I have the book typeset, I’ll upload it to my distributor, and it’ll begin showing up in other storefronts.

Cover Reveal

Journeymen of Stone, ,

Hadwin is finally ready for readers! Pre-order the second book in the Journeymen of Stone series.

Selk festivals. Fwan oddities. Oxus nostalgia. Keld mystics. Hund rivals. Ursa intervals. Pred affections.
When Aurelius orchestrates a tour of Last Continent so that Carden Meadowsweet can explore his affinity, Hadwin Harrow tags along. Perhaps after five years of servitude, he’s simply in the habit of going wherever Miss Aggie Meadowsweet goes. The two of them have a complicated relationship, but their duty is straightforward enough: keep two nine-year-old boys out of trouble. No easy task in a rugged land where mystics have secrets and omens come true. 
Quintrell and Arni are eager to taste and see and try everything while their papas bring them around to all three of Last Continent’s magical mountains. But plans take a strange turn when they find hints of a fourth.

AUDIO Cover Reveal

Book News, Journeymen of Stone, ,

Farley (Journeymen of Stone, #1). I’m unveiling the audio cover of Farley because Travis Baldree is about to begin narration of the book, which is (obviously) complete & being prepped for a Spring release. If you’d like to drop by Travis’s Discord server, you can catch an early look/listen. It’s always amazing to watch him do his thing.

Ursa superstition. Pika bards. Fwan twins. Mard pirates. Basq custom. Clow keepers. Tisk lords.
Farley Meadowsweet always planned to travel beyond the quiet Flox village where he was born. He’s finally, finally on his way to greatness, alongside Dessa, the mountain who called him, and Torio Kite. The two men share a unique affinity for stone, which makes them perfect for a dangerous vocation, hunting rogue statues known as the Misbegotten.

Aboard the Moontide, the newest ship in the Harrow fleet, Farley must deal with Larkin Rakefang. Aurelius and Ulrica’s fourth son is less than thrilled with the rite of passage his father set—keeping the Flox alive during a journey that spans continents.

Release Date: TBD (Spring 2023)

COVER REVEAL: In the Middle

“If this is a Wild place, shouldn’t it be more obvious? You could say that these are magic trees, covered in magic moss, growing out of magic dirt, and it’s all the same to me.” Bree asked, “Can’t you conjure up a pixie or a dragon, or at least a wisp of foxfire?”

“I’m afraid not, but we’re definitely in the Wilds,” said Jovan. “Since there’s a town nearby, I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a wake forest.”

“Awake?”

“Wake,” Jovan corrected. “Like a ship’s wake. When colonists enter the land without making peace with the wilderness, the wild parts retreat. Only a little magic is left in its wake. Just enough to hide some surprises.”

“Nope, this isn’t wake.” Zane peered around the woods from Hobo’s saddle. “Whatever these people did when they settled, they did it right. Magic runs deep around here.”

“You.”

Ewan offered a weak smile. “Yes, miss?”

“You’re not Jovan.” Her surprise shifted into dazzling happiness, and she actually hugged him.

“N-no.” Beyond flustered, Ewan cleared his throat. “I do apologize, miss, but do I know you? I’m afraid I don’t remember ….”

“Ewan Johns!” she exclaimed.

“Yes, I’m Ewan.”

“I can’t believe how much you look like Jovan! All you need is a pair of glasses. And maybe a few ruffles.”

Update! I’ve spent the last couple months deep in Liberty, wrapping up manuscripts for the next three Byways Books. Time to launching into editing mode! Meanwhile, the illustrations are coming along beautifully. This trio is momentous because with books #11, #12, and #13, we’ve now covered the thirteen original colonies! (And hey, did you notice that there’s a circle of 13 stars on the cover? Rangers also wear cloak pins with thirteen stars.) Look forward to Byways #11, Beneath the Torch: A Ewan Johns Adventure (NY), which is our first brother crossover, Byways #12, In the Middle: A Zane Johns Adventure (NC), and Byways #13, Among the Tents: A Ganix Johns Adventure (RI). They’ll be releasing this summer!
