Escape from reality and embark on several journies of epic proportions ...

On this page is a current listing of my novels, and their current status in writing and publishing.  Although I have only poetry published right now, I am striving to share my fantasy writing with the world.  Titles are subject to change.  Titles in blue are trilogy titles, and those in teal are individual novel titles.

A budding author...

Prelude to the Apocalypse

Compilation of a Thousand
Explanation of this Addition

 
Description: This is a gathering of short stories that revolve around my immortal characters. There are a handful of characters that are bound to the events in my books until Chaos permits them rest. These short stories are all folk-lore style with morals to share. I try not to focus the stories on the immortals themselves, but on someone they encounter. They do vary, however, and I have some important lessons for these poor souls who are doomed to walk the worlds and watch as everything around them dies while they remain young in appearance.

This is mostly for fun, but also for those times when I simply can't work on one of my novels. Keeps me in the writing spirit, because I can write these in roughly 3-4 hours :)

 
Altered Tradition

 
Description: Traditions are easily marred when not written in stone. Over the years, they bend and twist until they become something entirely different. This story focuses on a village whose sole purpose is to carry on the tradition of binding the curse in a forest overrun with death. Unfortunately, their tradition is not what it used to be...

Dangers of Ignorance

Know the land in which you live, know the creatures that help preserve it and know your limitations or you may one day bring about the death of everything around you. A journey man comes across a caravan of people on the brink of death in the center of a land plagued with disaster. The man saves the people from the inferno around them only to find that their ignorance is the cause.  Yet, he will not hate and saves them from certain doom while teaching them a valuable lesson about life.
