ANNOUNCEMENT Feb 23, 2022
On February 19, 2015, I picked up a pen and began writing what would become the first page of a series called The Crystal Keepers. I’ve told this story before, and I’ll likely tell it again, but this time the memory is much more important, because now, seven years and four days later, the time has finally come to release this adventure out into the world. (The OFFICIAL release date will be announced within the next two weeks.)
Over the last two months, I’ve been working with the incredibly smart and talented Clara Abigail, whose editorial skills have really helped bring the book together. The story is in the best shape it’s ever been in, and I’m now confident that anyone who likes fantasy stories will have a hard time putting this one down
.
I’m going to be receiving the cover art for The Crystal Keepers from a company called Miblart hopefully by the end of next week, a new but very talented company experienced in marketing and cover design. Reveal coming soon.
This is where you can see updates about The Crystal Keepers' release date, progress on future books in the series, art for the world and characters, or if you just want to listen to me ramble about writing and other stuff that has to do with books in my blog.
Shawn and Manie have really become a part of my life. I love these characters like friends, like family. Their adventures and stories mean more to me than anyone can ever understand. And in my pursuit of bringing these characters to life, I believe I’ve managed to pass a little piece of that magic back to you, through the words I’ve written down.
