Pride of a King: Book One of "The War of the Stone" Trilogy.

On the frigid steppes of the Halpi Mountains, Lord Sveri Egilax has led his clan of Free Dwarfs and their allies to a pyrric victory to reclaim the lost hold of Cwl Gen. Devastated by their losses, and with winter closing in, they are bitterly forced to turn to their reluctant allies to the south: the Dwarfs of Golloch’s empire.

Banick Kholearm is dispatched as a hero of his people to Caeryn Golloch to try and parlay with their imperial cousins, but his reception there could be described as lukewarm at best. Frustrated and despairing at his lack of progress in King Golloch’s courts, Banick struggles with his own demons and begins to suspect that there is more to the lackluster response that the “Imps” are giving him. Ghosts from the past begin to whisper of secrets and lies that hide a bigger, and more shocking reason for Golloch’s reticence.

Meanwhile, back at Cwl Gen, the famous ranger Herneas has uncovered a dangerous conspiracy within the Free Dwarf ranks. One that threatens to unravel the frayed sense of community and hope that their recent victory has won them, even as the snow begins to descend and close them in for a winter of suspicious solitude. With enemies both outside the fractured walls of the keep, and potential traitors within, the mighty hunter begins to doubt the wisdom of trying to take the lonely hold, and whether or not they can maintain their tenuous grasp on their homeland.

Thus begins the first book of “The War of the Stone” saga, the tale of the Free Dwarfs bid to retake their lost homes in the Halpi Mountains.

Winged Hussar Interviews

Image
 As you likely know, my publisher is a small business run out of New Jersey. It is a father-son duo that runs/owns the business, and they deal primarily with tie-in media revolving around other peoples' IP that they will then market out to authors to write novels within those universes. Vince, the dad, has a background working with Games Workshop's Black Library, and his son has grown up under that influence. Both are excellent human beings who have been a pleasure to work with and I can't recommend them enough. One of the projects that they introduced to try and help out their authors was a podcast where they were able to interview their authors and get some more in-depth questions about those writers' deeper inspections of the stories that they have created. I was able to go on there for a pair of episodes to talk about my own writing and I feel that they would make excellent additions to anyone who is looking to get to know me better (scary though that may be).

Pride of a King Book Discussion

 Something that I have discussed with a few other authors is that often times when we have interviews we are asked a lot of the same kinds of questions, and those are generally rather generic things like "Where did you get your inspiration?" or "What struggles did you have while writing this book?" and while those are all good questions, they don't really dig into the meat of the story that you have just spent the last several months/years writing. This is why I appreciate the recent series known as "the Loremaster's Library" from the Coutner Charge podcast. These guys basically have a deep dive discussion into the ins and outs of a story, much like a book club would do, or a deeply invested college English class. They've done a few different books for the Kings of War universe of novels, and they are all fun to listen to.  Here is the episode they did on my most recent book Pride of a King . It's a fun listen and can give you some good ins

The Best Books That Are Part Of Bigger Universes

Image
 So recently I participated with a website called Shepherd.com. This site is dedicated to connecting authors with potential readers by having them outline a list of books that conforms to a themed list which the author concocts. For me, I came up with the category of "the best books that are part of bigger universes" which I found fitting because most of my works are part of a shared narrative universe! Thus it made sense for me to show anyone who was interested what I consider to be a good example of tie-in novels, or novels that take place in a bigger setting than just what is encompassed in that singular story. I really enjoy Shepherd's vision for the purpose of this site. There are hundreds of authors that have published their lists on here and I must say that I have discovered some interesting titles to add to my TBR list. I would recommend anyone who likes seeing what other people think of books, or themes, or just likes lists in general to take a look at the site a
