The Barbarians

Book 1 – Salt

A kingdom built on salt
A people born to grass
Behind it all–a prayer carved in the stones of the Great Caravanserai of Gujarat.

Truth must return to satisfy Justice, but Honor without Mercy is merely hubris.

When the king and queen push Prince Tanan into a whirlpool of intrigue, he’s left trying to find his way among the common laborers on a trip up the river named for salt.

First Rider Sukhetai finds himself leading the annual trade caravan instead of his father. His ambition drives him like an angry goose as he tries to live up to his duty on a perilous journey over the grass.

Between them they will be asked to decide between justice and honor, between truth and mercy.

Between the salt and the grass.

All’s Well in Asgard

All’s Well in Asgard

Two college students run into Odin at a coffee shop, and he offers them a job. The catch? They don’t know it’s him… at first.

“Raylene wants to graduate and be a teacher. Dublin wants to be done with school and out of debt already. When a chance encounter at a diner with a pair of unlikely brothers results in an invitation to the Gray Horse Limousine Service, the two students find themselves with an opportunity that seems too good to be true.

Questions abound as they take on a strange mission for an even stranger company. Who are Iggy and Kenneth Gray? Why does a limousine service need diplomats? And what is an Utgard, exactly? Join Raylene and Dublin as they navigate the politics of a world that shouldn’t exist, and attempt to stop a war between gods in the process.

All’s well in Asgard… but in Jotunheim, it’s a different story.”

The World of Omnia


Raven-Friend’s Saga

OisinCoverFrontSmolOISINSON

A mage, a weaver, and a gardener in a race against the changing season… and nothing goes according to plan.

“Nobody expects the healer to die.

For most of the village, it would be a simple matter to wait for spring, making do until a new wolf-woman could travel south. For Aizen Shouni, that wait could be a death sentence.

Esper and Kaillte Oisinson begin their search for a cure  a search that leads them down paths most would fear to tread. With winter closing in and Aizen’s health deteriorating, one dangerous spark of inspiration could save the dark-elf and give him a chance at a full life  or spell disaster for everyone involved.

Oisinson is a coming-of-age story that toes the line between viking age historic fantasy and low-magic sword and sorcery, set in a world where gods choose champions and differences are celebrated. Pick up this short and punchy read, and find out where Esper’s story began.”

The Tales of Esper Ravenwood

RevenantCover2018SmolREVENANT

An undead bard walks into a bar. Turns out he has to save the world again, and this time he’s not alone.

“A dead man tells no tales – unless that man is Esper Ravenwood. He owes the Goddess of Death a debt for his third incarnation as a Revenant. That, he expected.

He expected to be sent after the undead necromancer terrorizing a village in the backwaters of County Orthamear.

What he didn’t expect was the team of misfits, mercenaries, and one enterprising pixie that assemble around him when they all realize that their best hope of lifting this curse is a bard, not an exorcist. And none of them want to let a bard do an exorcist’s job on his own.

He may be dead, but the Tales of Esper Ravenwood are just getting started.”

SCOURGEMARKED

Esper isn’t the only thing in the Five Realms that won’t stay dead.

“Esper Ravenwood is a man driven by curses.

He thought he had his own under control until an attack by the Legion pushes him over the edge when his team needs him at his best.

As if things couldn’t get any worse, his missing memories are coming back – all three hundred years’ worth of them.

With the Legion mobilizing and a Demon Lord threatening war on Omnia, the Company of Esper Ravenwood has no time to be breaking curses and fighting amongst themselves – meaning they’ll have to adapt to hold any hope of saving anyone.

Their leader may be a dead man walking once again.”

A dead man’s heart is a hard thing to break. His arm? Not so much.

“When the Raven Queen calls for aid and Esper answers, both his heart and the sleeve he tends to wear it on go up in flames.

The enemy is gathering strength. The rematch between the Pheonix King and Demon Lord Kaillte is approaching.

And Esper Ravenwood played right into the Archdemon’s plans.

Now, unable to wield a sword, Esper must take up a new weapon against a growing sea of trouble, and rely on his dwindling team more than he has ever relied on anyone – but perhaps there are older powers at play here than even the Raven Queen.

All things die – but legacies live forever.”

The Redgate Chronicles:

OLD WORLD

Be careful what you wish for, and be extra careful not to give your wishes to strange beings with horse heads.

“Marcus owes thirteen souls to the Archdemon.
Evaline is the one keeping his head on his shoulders.
Kisuke was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

On the day of their shared trial by combat, all three vagabonds are whisked from the dungeons of Olsan to begin new lives in service to the unorthodox Queen of Laine – and she has a specific task in mind for them. From their first mission onward, everything spirals out of control, until one spell falls into the wrong hands – and the world is changed forever.

The Redgate Chronicles take place in a world weathered by time, war, and magic, where the gods play mortals like chess pieces and nothing is ever set in stone.”

NEW WORLD

The only thing worse than the end of the world is knowing that it was your fault.

“The world they knew before is unrecognizable.
Dragons now rule over what were once Provinces.
The Empire and its rules are no more.

Marcus, Evaline, and Kisuke are the only ones that remember what happened – because they’re the ones at fault. Determined to repair what damage they can, the trio set out to find their bearings, track down old allies, and survive as best they can in a world at war between powerful Dragon Lords.

Torn by love, duty, and circumstance, the Champions of Redgate may end up being the death of each other.”
