Keep the Party Going! – SYZYGY REVEALED Spotify Playlist!

Like I did with NEMESIS SPAWNED and WORLDS SUNDERED, I’ve created another dark and explosive soundtrack for SYZYGY REVEALED, in the form of a Spotify playlist (see embedded link below).

I tried to express the vibe of each chapter through this eclectic mix of artists and genres – with a song or two for each.

Hope you enjoy the listening (and reading) experience!

Also, if you are in the mood, don’t forget about NEMESIS SPAWNED & WORLDS SUNDERED and the Spotify playlists I created for them!

Reflections of Shadow – NEW Character Profile Cards

Anticipating the forthcoming release of SYZYGY REVEALED, the third and final book in the Reflections of Shadow trilogy, I have updated my character images . . .

I have updated Raven Maireen, the beautiful oracle to more accurately depict what I envisioned for her. I have added someone introduced in NEMESIS SPAWNED (but who you get to know much more in SYZYGY REVEALED), Einar. I have also added the final avatar in the pantheon of five, Gallambros “the Stranger.” Finally, Cillian Domhnal has a new look in this book, and I updated his existing image.

As before, these cards include the character’s Name, their Class (e.g., Immortal Avatar, Mortal Demigod, Human Fighter), a few key Attributes/Skills, and a notable Quote. The cards also include classic RPG ability points for each character, based on their descriptions in the books – Including Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.

Hope you enjoy these new additions!

A Sonnet

Inspired by a friend, I have decided to try my hand at writing a sonnet. This may be a foolish attempt – in fact, I feel quite intimidated – but what the heck . . .

The Seas

Of seas roar’d and toss’d, in semblance of fury,

Where depths hint at life and feed connection.

Porcelain hands speak of lust and worry;

It steals my breath and echoes rejection.

My own can hold back the spindrift in time,

But it scrapes my heart; left chisel’d again.

The stars shine upon a man in his prime,

Shackl’d by fortune; the wings of the wren.

But fate is troubl’d; lost uncertainty.

For the tenebrous, the twilight, the dawn.

The soft lilt of calm feeds the will to see,

That my fool’s tarot was lost all along.

Spent eternity toss’d amidst the fray,

But still in the shallows, my bones won’t sway.

Vibe Check – WORLDS SUNDERED Spotify Playlist!

Reflections of Shadow – Character Profile Cards

As mentioned previously, I really enjoyed creating character images for some of the characters in NEMESIS SPAWNED using a video game character creator for the faces and layered Adobe Stock images for the bodies and backgrounds. As such, it should come as no surprise that I created several for notable characters in WORLDS SUNDERED as well . . .

Inspired by various Role-Playing Games (RPGs), I thought it might also be fun to create a set of Character Cards to accompany the character images.

These cards include the character’s Name, their Class (e.g., Immortal Avatar, Mortal Demigod, Human Fighter), a few key Attributes/Skills, and a notable Quote. The cards also include classic RPG ability points for each character, based on their descriptions in the books – Including Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma.

Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Worlds Sundered Now Available!

I’m excited to announce that Worlds Sundered, Reflections of Shadow: Book 2, is now available on the FriesenPress website (with other retailers making it available in the next few days)!!!

It’s been an exciting journey writing and publishing this book. Of the three books in the trilogy, this one holds a special place in my heart. It takes the dark introspection in the first book and blows it up. The two main characters are joined by so many new interesting faces, bringing a dynamic new energy to the story. It was the most fun to write and I hope you find it just as enjoyable to read!

I want to thank all those who have been instrumental in bringing this work to life: my wife, my family, my friends and colleagues, as well as the publication team at FriesenPress.

I see myself as merely reflected light – any positive energy is merely reflected from my surroundings and those around me.

Happy reading!
