News from the swamp

Having been out of the indie author ecosystem for several years and just recently stuck my toe back in, I’d like to share a few thoughts. In 2010 when I started self-publishing, sites like Goodreads (pre-Amazon buy out, of course) were great places for indies. Free discussion forums abounded across the web and Amazon’s policy […]

The second volume of The Colossi comes out June 19. I am working on the third volume, The Tower, which I expect to be available in August.  Below is a concept art design for the cover image.  This is not an accurate depiction of The Tower, but I like the vibe.  More iterations to follow.

I’ll probably also put it up on RoyalRoad.com. The book will release on May 15, 2026. The Factory will follow in June and The Tower will come […]
