Slop will officially be released on Monday, June 29. The ebook is now available for preorder from most booksellers. The paperback will become available shortly.

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is DRIVE. No character in the Triempery series is more driven than Dorilian Sordaneon. In this quote from THE RILL LORD, the final book in the series, Dorilian reveals why: people keep trying to put their kingdoms' crowns on on his head. #WritingCommunity

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is 'drive'. The Many Shades of Midnight is all about a priceless mineral called Isyr. Unfortunately, it also has a tendency to drive people mad. 🪐📚💙 #bookqw #indiefantasy #writesky #writingcommunity

'Recently lit cigarette held between his lips, Robert walked to the front door, where Jan stood in a daze. ‘I heard what that grasping…so-and-so just told you, Jan.’ She heard the unspoken swearword his customary politeness ensured never emerged. ‘We’re here for you when the time comes.’'

Book Quote Wednesday's word is 'never' #BookQW #BookSky Warlord Daish Kheda couldn't have imagined making an alliance with a barbarian from the north. But he never expected to see dragons in Aldabreshin skies. There's only one way to fight this particular fire and that's what he needs from Dev.

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is 'never'. This story, from In Midnight's Shadow, fills in an important piece of backstory for the characters in The Many Shades of Midnight. 🪐📚💙 #bookqw #indiefantasy #writesky

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is GROUP Readers meet Hans, the dual protagonist of the Triempery series, in THE SECOND STONE. He was only a flicker in the previous books. He evolves his own agendas, including his thoughts about groups and power. #bookqw #WritingCommunity

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is 'group'. This is an excerpt from The Siege of Druine. It's a prequel novel to The Many Shades of Midnight, and it's about, well, a siege... 🪐📚💙 #bookqw #indiefantasy #writesky (Also this book is available free via my newsletter)

It's Book Quote Wednesday and the word is SEVERAL. In this snip from THE GOD SPEAR, book 4 of the Triempery series, Hans's reunion with Robdan is interrupted by several men. One of the men, Nalf, becomes a series regular. Readers love Nalf or hate him, but he's a force. #bookqw #WritingCommunity

#FantasyIndiesMaytober 8: Book Comps To what books do I compare my Triempery series? To be fair, I don't compare. I can provide inspirations, but I really don't see my books as being that much like other books. If pressed I provide what my readers and reviewers say, as below about SORDANEON.

I do a terrible work as my own PR person, but if you are an author (trad/small press) and have a title you would like to see covered by me before the end of 2026, feel free to talk to me! (or even just answer this post) 💙📚
