For 2020

The Projects that are Underway

Hi fans, friends, and acquittances - 

2018 is behind us, and we're well on our way through 2019. I am currently working on several new books. These books will be available in 2020. I know - why do you have to wait so long? Well, writing books is a time consuming process, no to mention the editing, publishing, and marketing parts. 

As of the writing of this blog post, I have two novellas written. One is a sequel to The Lantern of Dern Blackhammer.  The title of the book is, The White King of Moore. Below is the book-blurb:

Deep below the streets of Moore. Down below the cisterns, and the marvelous sewers; below even the ancient riverbed, is the roof of a once magnificent city. Beneath that roof, sealed by powerful magic and hidden from prying eyes for many centuries, sits a corpse king.

In a world where magic is a standard way of life, exists many city-states vying for power. Among those cities is the great elven capital - Moore! And, within Moore there dwells a secret organization - the Brood - pledged to protect the city - and its government at all cost.

Janaway Cartush is a member of parliament, but her heart is set on being a queen. In a short time, she will address her followers - those craven few that chant her name and praise her political agenda of one ruler to rule all of Moore. At that town square gathering, she will announce her plan to claim Moore and seize power. 

But, as always, the Brood is moving to intercede, and into the fray they will send Ford and his team. The problem? They're tasked with stealing a key that opens a box that contains another key, that will let them into the ancient city below their feet. In that city, they must retrieve the relics of Gomoran the White King of Morrianus.

Unfortunately, Janaways agents are one step ahead. Once they have the magic items, Janaway's claim may be the undoing of that great metropolis - the elven city of Moore.

The second novella is titled (working title at the moment) Jake and the Solomon Lake Treasure. Below is the book-blurb - 

Jake "Facebreaker" Sharkar lives his life between the lines of law-and-order and outright villainy. Fresh from committing murder, he finds that his employer has a proposition for him. Instead of paying his fee, Jake has the opportunity to help find and share in the reward of recovering the lost treasure of Solomon Lake. 

A long journey, an unexpected accomplice, and wandering aliens, will not keep Jake from garnering glory and promised wealth. Make no mistake, it is unwise to double-cross a man like Jake. And, if those who thought they could double, or triple, or even quadrupole-cross Jake, they have another thing coming. 

Ride from one planet to another, as Jake, Michael, Mickey, and Millicent search the galaxy for the Solomon Lake treasure - a fabled cache of alien artifacts looted and lost hundreds of years earlier. Solomon Lake - that mythological pioneer, miner, and wild-man, who flew by the seat of
his pants and lived a life of a libertine. And, who doesn't want to be a libertine?
