Today starts off 5 free days for the Shrouded Guard ebook. Even if you've previously purchased/downloaded it, this is for you too (I had to republish it due to Amazon not pushing updated interior files to those who already bought the book). Major changes include some character names & 1 plot point.

(Unedited) Excerpt from Grimoire Archive: Shrouded Curses book 3 (and one of the only times I've ever used the word sparkle across 3 WIPS)

The main setting for Grimoire Archive: Underground Alchemist book 1 is definitely bleak and messed up.

Am I actually crazy enough to do a triple title reveal for Grimoire Archive? Yes (though not intentionally, time just got away from me). When?

Bounty Hunter book 1: July 13
Underground Alchemist book 1: August 13
Shrouded Curses book 3: September 13

Which are you most excited for?

An excerpt from Grimoire Archive: Bounty Hunter book 1

#JuneWorldBuilders 1:

In the Grimoire Archive time period, there are sentient Curses (not widely known, essentially "spirit" entities from the Nightmare Dimension) that are mostly associated with evil because they can/do possess people and use them/their magic to create chaos.

4 Villains I've written (Grimoire Archive edition)

1. Guild Master hellbent on catalyzing another war against magic
2. Guild Master who would do anything for the "greater good"
3. Insurgent group leader who thinks only inborn magic is valid
4. Sentient Curses that possess people
4 Villains I've written

1. Femdom girlboss who uses men as furniture
2. Genuinely good father who made A Choice that would keep his country at peace during his daughter's lifetime
3. Sadist pope who tortured and killed royals who oppressed their people
4. University instructor with a God complex

Xavier Roscoe is definitely one of my favorite side characters in the Shrouded Curses arc of the Grimoire Archive series. He's a member of the Curse Breakers Guild and a "ride-or-die" best friend to one of the MCs. Also, he *may* get a bit more of a moment to shine in a companion book.

I have a few out there for different flavors of urban fantasy lovers. From those wanting a Guild Codex esq interconnected series with inborn & learnable magic to those who love mad max vibes with morally grey MCs & magic to the romantic fantasy lovers who love vampires werewolves & slow-burn.
