The Outcast Crown is nearly here!
The Outcast Crown, the direct sequel to Flames Over Frosthelm, is in the hands of my copy editor/proofreader. That means (unless he comes back with difficult issues to resolve) that the book is nearly ready for release. I'm so excited to share with you the continued adventures of Boog, Marten, and Clarice, plus some cool new characters and a whole new adventure. This sequel takes place about a year after the events in Flames, once the city has returned a little more to normal.

It's told from the perspective of Boog rather than Marten, which gives a new perspective on the Guild and on Frosthelm. Boog is far more confident and physically imposing than Marten, but his confidence and brashness sometimes leads him into situations he's not actually ready for. I think he grows a lot in this book, and I hope you'll enjoy getting to know him better and seeing how he develops. If all goes well, expect the book to be available on Amazon within a couple of weeks. I'll be sure to let you know when it's ready. I've got a pre-release page up, so you can click the book image above to learn more.

Other Books to Try
I'm part of several independent author groups where we work together to help our books find their audience. I've got two opportunities for you to find new books to read.
Opportunity #1: Free Books!
This promotion from a multitude of authors has a whole bunch of books available absolutely free, including my book, Traitors Unseen. It's just like the book fairs back in elementary school, except you don't have to ask your parents for any money (and unfortunately there are no stickers). Check it out for some free reading!

Opportunity #2: Magic-Price
This is the first book of a cool fantasy series by C.L. Schneider called The Crown of Stones. This first book centers on a member of a magical race, enslaved to fight others' wars, who has paid a terrible price for his new life. I haven't had a chance to read it yet, but there are a host of positive reviews for this dark fantasy trilogy. Be sure to check it out!
