Phew, it's been a while since I've updated my profile. A ton has happened and is happening. I lived in Estonia for three months soaking up all the medieval inspiration. Loooooved Baltic Europe oh my. I want to go back. I have three books published now, and a first draft of the fourth completed. and most importantly two beautiful girls call me dad. Being a dad is amazing! Especially when your MC is a three year old, oh the inspiration! 
This WIP has been a STRUGGLE. My time has evaporated faster than an open container of gas on a sunny day. After all day with the girls, little sleep, and lots and lots of chores; starting to write at 11pm is hard when you don't know if you'll get 6 hours of sleep or be up all night with sleepless infant. Depression has been a leech. Book sales have been low. Confidence even lower. Nevertheless! I've had an incredible time working with BrassDragon on a series of commissions for this WIP. THEY.ARE.BEAUTIFUL! She did an amazing job. AND LukeMaynard  wows me with some art for the book that just took my breath away. He did it free, as a surprise! I can't fathom the hours he spent. My heart melted. I can't wait to show it to you. He did some for the third book Garden of Lilith and some for this fourth book which I cannot pick a title for...anyway. 
So I press on! Wingbeat by wingbeat this dragon will soar. I hope you like the drafts if you check them out. They have spelling errors. i tell rather than show. I probably have sentence fragments i started writing then left open as i got excited over another idea and jumped to that...sorry. I pretty much did everything wrong, but i think there's still some story in there you might enjoy. It's my story at least, and its not just in my head anymore. Yay, small victory! Feel free to critique, i have pretty thick scales by now. 
Sincerely,
hoping for 4 hours of sleep. 
May your adventures be often and prosperous

Thanks for visiting! I'm a fantasy/dark fantasy writer of the series, A Tale of Mist and Shadow, which you can get on Amazon hereI am a big fan of the supernatural, horror, fantasy, and history genres. I love the emotion and imagination that they evoke. I love the power and the mystery that they bring to a world that can seem bland and boring at times. This book series is my way of combining all of those genres into one epic story. Ultimately, A Tale of Mist and Shadow is about being able to see through the haze. Its about seeing the light of life, even in the dark. I've included the first few chapters as samples, my publisher won't allow me to share more than that. Any and all criticism is welcome and appreciated, it only makes me better and gets more children into loving arms! I'm a big believer that fantasy should always lead back to reality. As such, all royalties I receive from the first book go towards helping children get adopted. Whether my words let you soar or crash into the ground our adventure really saves a kid! Wooooooo! thanks for checking me out!
p.s. be sure to check out my favorites for some of the interior art done by the fantastic artists LukeMaynard and BrassDragon
