A little bit of that drug called forgiveness. This is a running theme throughout Echoing and Eclipse.

Winds of the World is the first epic chapter of Echoing and Eclipse, a 9 book philosophical fantasy.
Readers should expect this book to contain graphic depictions of death and violence, sexual content, and graphic language.

Just about 6 weeks until Winds of the World comes out from @shadowsparkpub.bsky.social
Echoing and Eclipse is and will always be an ambitious series, and I only hope readers will appreciate the story.

When I think of an epic book for autumn, my mind immediately goes to Lord of the Rings. Something about the setting strikes me as a very seasonal story, one that I can get swept up in.

Khollin is a student of history. Nothing is more exciting to him than studying the past so he can gain a better understanding of the world. If time allowed it, he would study in one of the three great cities of Aeshkar, where learning was given freely.

Some of these teasers are from the beginning of a chapter. They offer more to the story, particularly the character arc.
Most people really like them and love how original they are.
Who doesn't like different?

Khollin will leisurely read the thickest book just because, or play a game of Gambit (think of chess)

Shyn's only real passion is ending the world of slavery. Once that is finsihed, long walks along the Redieum Gulf at sunrise.

Looking for a twist on traditional fantasy, or something completely separate? This is the book for you.
It is a story packed with heartbreak, courage, romance, commitment, understanding, leadership, unity, loss, friendship, and a touch of philosophy and poetry.

In Aeshkar, young men and women have many aspirations. History is front and center of 3 major cities (Lin, Lahni, Laryth) which loosely men learn.

Women particularly find comfort in the arts, with some finding themselves in a medical field.

If I wasn't so damn busy with my own writing, I typically look at the books on my shelf and pick one I haven't read. I know, simple, right, but it is so much harder than that.

I think my TBR list is now under 50 books!

Good day, and welcome. If you are reading this, then you have arrived.

I write fantasy, but not your traditional fantasy.
I play @magic.wizards.com (I have 12 commander decks)
I used to play drums (the rock band ones)
Now, I'm 39 and living my best life!

Well, as I near 60 days until book one of Echoing and Eclipse, the final edits are 65% done.

I am excited to see what the #readingcommunity has to say about Winds of the World.

Also, 60 DAYS😁😁😁

Some philosophical poetry to get you through your Saturday.

One aspect of Echoing and Eclipse that I love is how I found a way to ask you questions, or at least get you thinking.

Who doesn’t like Samwise Gamgee?
Lord of the Rings has a lot of amazing characters, but he embodies everything good in a person.

Tyrion Lannister, because… duh

Kvothe. I would love to sit down with him.

Fantasy worlds have enthralled me for over half my life. My heart sings worldbuilding and constructing characters from thin air.
Nothing gets to me like fantasy does. I have tried to write other genres, but it's not my thing.

I've done screenplays, though.

I have been told Winds of the World sits somewhere between A Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time.
So, if you happen to enjoy those stories, there is a good chance you will enjoy mine👍

Well, the legend has a birthday today 👍

I guess there is a legend about him. This one time he went to Red Lobster. When the waitress found out he was both an author and having a birthday… well, here is the proof.

Oh, you meant in the book.
You’ll see.

There are so many secrets within Echoing and Eclipse.
Most of these tend to be so important to the story that I cannot say them hear.
I swear I'm a really good secret keeper...

This is one of my favorite things about writing 💯💥

Jira means luck in Windgari and Windgari means Guardian of the Wind.
Shyn means shy, but she is anything but.
Arahn Akiem means Kingdom of All.

Khollin is definitely a get up and go character. Sunrises and sunsets are among his favorite things.

Jira does not have a preference.

Not from an author, but “just write the story, your story. The rest will follow.”

Best advice I ever got.

Also, write for yourself.

A touch of classic rock, dark blend of grunge, some uplifting boy band tunes, and a heavy dose of hard rock.

It is definitely a roller coaster.
