My new short story “Lord of Time” free at Inscription Magazine
About two years ago, I had a vivid dream about a land with purple skies, a man in pain, a timid priestess in training, and a god who lived in a ramshackle house. It became a short story, and you can read it at Inscription Magazine for free. Speaking of Inscription, it’s an awesome new…

Poison Dance and Midnight Thief: Which to read first?
As many of you know, MIDNIGHT THIEF has a prequel novella called POISON DANCE. I’ve gotten questions about which to read first, and I’ve also had many discussions with various readers about this topic.

Less than three months until launch, and with that come signings and conventions. I’ve made an Appearances page that has the most up to date information about my events.

A 7th Grader Reviews Midnight Thief
Midnight Thief ARCs (advanced review copies) made their debut at The National Council of Teachers of English conference last month. It’s strange knowing that there’s copies of the book out there… somewhere… having adventures. Too bad ARCs can’t send postcards home or post selfies on their instagram feeds. But I do have news of one…
