I’ve been back from the Siouxland Renaissance Assoc. and Festival for a couple days and have been doing those after festival activities, laundry, packing things away, and going through the book bins and taking inventory. 

While doing so I realized I have an odd mix of books, that I haven’t completely figured out. For example I have quite a few more hard cover copies of books 2 and 3 of the Kings of Pendar than any of the others?? 

When I re-released 2021 Into the Darkness as part of the Light Bearers trilogy I ended up with the 1st edition copies so that makes sense, they still need to go though. Same story, different cover.

All that said, I updated my online store with pricing that’s probably ILLEGAL they are so inexpensive!!

 2025 Siouxland Renaissance Festival

June 7th and 8th

I'll be there with some new books this year. The focus has been updating the Light Bearers series. Originally when I released "2021 Into the Darkness" I thought it was going to be a stand alone project. However, it turned into two books, and this year I finished out the Trilogy with "The Child of the Light".

I updated "2021 Into the Darkness" to just "Into the Darkness" and added some additional material, about 2,000 words, to set it up to flow better into book two "The Light Awakens".  I have copies of all three books individually and then too a "The Light Bearers - The Complete Trilogy" option.

 

 Well it's Two's day today. So I thought I would announce that I've started work on Book TWO of the Power of the Light series.  "The Light Awakens" will pick up the story of Carl, Dave, and Hailey several years after the conclusion of "2021 Into the Darkness".  It will be fun to see what those kids are up to.  Stay tuned. Thanks!

 Here's to a fresh new year full of hope and optimism!!  To many (way to many) it is breaking news that I released the 6th book in the Kings of Pendar series last year .  Well I did, and this year I get to actually get out and promote "The Ghosts of Pendar." 

The first scheduled stop will be at the Siouxland Renaissance festival on June 5th, 2021.   

Another year, and another book in the Pendar series.  I'll have it fresh off the presses at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival on Sept. 21st and 22nd. Hope you can stop by and pick up a copy.

This year at the Renaissance Festival I'm releasing a new book that is a little different than The Kings of Pendar series. There is still plenty of magic on display, though we aren't trying to rid the world of orcs or gnomes, its wraiths from the underworld that have taken over the surface of our world. Our main character Carl (on display on the front cover) has been blessed with the power of light to turn back the wraiths from wiping out what remains of humanity.  He can't do it alone and so searches for others like himself to help save the world.  It's a fun adventure for all ages. - The first chapter is on the 2021 tab.

I'm very excited to announce that I will be releasing Book three of The Kings of Pendar series - "The Trolls of Blackwater Deep", in time for the upcoming weekend at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival - Sept. 24th and 25th - 2016. I will be there both days with all three books in the series available in paperback and hardcover.

Come out for Shamrocks and Shenanigans at Renfest!

With lots of sword fighting and rompus action “The Remnants” is an epic adventure that embraces the flavor of the Festival.  I am proud to announce this year that the long awaited sequel "Jewel of the Elves" will be released and that the adventure in Pendar continues. Please let me invite you to come out to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival for the Shamrocks and Shenanigans weekend, Sept. 19th and 20th, 2015. Hope to see you there!!

Gnomes!

Not your garden variety Gnome! 

My vision of a gnome is more like this artists depiction, a close cousin to the Orcs and Goblins that Tolkien brought to life in Middle Earth and have been a mainstay in fantasy writing ever since.

I put together a YouTube trailer for "The Remnants", stop over and give it a view.

A new Five Star review on Amazon: 
Awesome story.
By Kathrina on September 27, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition


I loved LOVED this book. Reads easily and with lots of emotion. My favorite kind of book makes you feel for the characters, and the story line. This did both. I can't wait for the next book to hit the shelves. What else is in store for the young king? I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories that make you dream and smile.
