NEW VIDEO ALERT! The Dune-isode has arrived! A classic’s classic of science fiction, DUNE is always a joy to revisit, especially with the arrival of Dune Part 2 in theaters. Desert worms & fanaticism abound. The Spice must flow, blue as Fremen eyes & redolent with layered flavors.

Do you want:
✨a fantasy with the same wonder of dragon riders but with flying, man-eating horses
✨lady knights in a non-European fantasy world
✨to witness the outbreak of a mythic disease that turns men into ghouls?

All this and more in The Gryphon King

If you’d like a sisterhood of female knights, political plotting, Ottoman Empire and Turkic tribe-inspired cultures, and a main character riding a man-eating pegasus, then you should read my debut adult dark fantasy The Gryphon King.

Oooo scaaarrryyyy hallloooowwweeeen time what if you paid a ghastly $13.99 for a high quality paperback (BOOOOOO!) of Shiver Me from Amazon which is also full of horror and terror but definitely pays me the most per copy (haunted) … pirate romance not that scary unless you are avoidantly attached

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about SUMMER IN THE HOUSE OF THE DEPARTED by Josh Rountree. A sere novella of death & haunting in east Texas, a mournful & moving read, cut through with ghosts & the dry burning heat of surreality. Our drink, a mocktail, is the Safeheart.

My sequel has a title and a cover (coming very soon!). You can add The Harpy Knight on Goodreads and read The Gryphon King now if you’re interested in zombie ghouls, man-eating horses, ravenous beasts, Southwest Asian inspired worldbuilding, or princess knights.
