ONLINE E-BOOK (html, epub, mobi, pdf, and xhtml)

Free at my website.


The Motley Crew (The Thousand Nations). When a young man named Dolan flees from the north, he faces danger on all sides. The Northern Army wants him back. The Empire of Emor wants him dead. His native homeland of Koretia may not want him at all. And his only protection is a man with motives that are mysterious and possibly deadly.

New installment:

BLOG FICTION

Tempestuous Tours (Crossing Worlds: A Visitor's Guide to the Three Lands #2). A whirlwind tour of the sites in the Three Lands that are most steeped in history, culture, and the occasional pickpocket.

New installments:

REVIEWS OF MY FICTION

Speculative fiction writer Jennifer R. Povey posted reviews of all six of my Three Lands novels in the space of less than three weeks. Occasional spoilers.


UPCOMING FICTION

Some of you may have noticed that I updated my website early this time. That was because I was uncertain when I would regain the ability to upload web pages, after my transfer to a new webhost. Thankfully, the transfer went smoothly, with no downtime for my website.

Also, I'm posting this update a day early because I'll be watching Artemis II tomorrow afternoon. :)

My next release will be the final part of the novel The Motley Crew: "Apprehended Ambassador."


My fiction announcements are also available by e-mail and feeds.
