Most of you know me as a fantasy author—writing about dragons, quests, and the timeless struggle between light and darkness. But what you might not know is that I’ve also ghostwritten a dozen Historical Western Romances over the years. And I enjoyed it so much that I finally asked myself: why not write them for myself?

That question has led me to my newest adventure: a Christian Historical Western Romance series.

These stories are sweet and wholesome, celebrating faith, love, and the courage of...

I’m thrilled to share that Sages of Tachnir has been receiving incredible early praise! Readers are connecting with the dragons, time-bending stakes, and the heart of the story. It currently holds a 4.78 rating on Goodreads and a 4.8 rating on Amazon—a reflection of the love and enthusiasm this story has inspired.

What Readers Are Saying

One standout review captures the experience beautifully:

“When I turned the first page of Sages of Tachnir, I expected...

In my busy life as a book reviewer, author, and copywriter, I often have tasks that are finished well before their deadlines, like writing a review for a blog tour. Once the review is done, I create a “placeholder” in my planner or calendar.

A placeholder isn’t about the work itself; it’s the specific day I need to post the review, across platforms. This way, even though the review is ready, I won’t miss sharing it on the exact day assigned by the tour.

It’s a simple system that keeps my...

Hello, wonderful readers!

I’m excited to announce that Sages of Tachnir will be featured on a virtual book tour hosted by Black Phoenix Book Tours from August 12th through the 15th!

What to Expect

During these days, several book bloggers will share their honest reviews and features about Sages of Tachnir. I won’t know their thoughts until the posts go live, but I’m eager to see how the story resonates with new readers.

Exploring the Depth of Drake Ascendant’s Worldbuilding

If you’re the kind of reader who loves falling into a world so vivid and textured it almost feels like a second reality, Drake Ascendant might be your next favorite read.

Reviewers have called it “a masterclass in world-building,” and for good reason.

From the mysterious Labyrinth of Times—a realm where one wrong step could cost you years—to the binding Dragon’s Oath that reshapes destinies, every element...

As an author, I spend a lot of time crafting what readers see on the page—but behind the scenes, it’s often a different kind of journey: quiet, thoughtful, and deeply personal. Lately, I’ve been immersed in preparing new promotional content for two of my novels: Shadowalkers and Sages of Tachnir. And as I do, I’ve found myself reflecting on the emotional core of these stories—their heartbeat.

Shadowalkers: What Changed While He Was Gone?

Shadowalkers is a...

Q. How do you balance the fantastical worlds you create with the everyday discipline required to bring them to life?

A: For me, writing is both an escape and a calling. I love building other worlds—whether it’s a time-traveling hero on a quest for redemption or a dragon-guarded realm that reflects deeper truths about our own. But those stories don’t write themselves.

Balancing the creative and the practical is something I’m constantly working on. I’ve had days where I’d rather stay in the...

Whether you've been with me since my first release or just discovered my stories, this is my way of saying thank you for being part of my reading community.

I know who’s in the scene.

I know what needs to be accomplished.

The plot is ready, the keyboard is warm, and I even brewed a good cup of coffee.

So WHY am I suddenly thinking about deep-cleaning the grout between floor tiles like I’m on a medieval quest for the Holy Mop?

Oh right.

Because I’m trying to:

Casually reintroduce characters from the previous books

Without info-dumping harder than a bard with no audience

While juggling time travel like a caffeinated wizard with a broken hourglass

I’m thrilled to announce that the first three books in my Dragon’s Oath series are now available together in one epic box set! This collection brings together the adventures of dragons and their chosen humans, the Drakeborn, who are bound by the ancient and powerful Dragon’s Oath. Together, they fight across time to stop the Darkmore Evil from destroying the future.

What’s Inside the Box Set?

Sneak Peek – Dragon’s Oath: Book Four

This week’s writing took me deep into the Sanctuary—into one of the oldest tunnels hidden beneath the dormant volcano.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes sneak peek from Chapter 4 of Dragon’s Oath: Book Four (my current work in progress).

Frulin is beginning to uncover truths that have been buried… and something long-dormant might be awakening.

Fresh excerpt for Dragon's Oath fans:

"Frulin, come with me."

Nimbus moved deeper into the heart of the Sanctuary. "It be...

I’m excited to share some great news—Windwalker placed 3rd in the AllAuthor Book Cover of the Month contest for April!

This recognition is especially meaningful because it celebrates not just the story within the pages, but the powerful imagery that invites readers in from the very first glance. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who voted and supported the cover throughout the contest—your encouragement made all the difference!

A huge shoutout to the talented cover design team at Next Chapter...

Confession time: I’m only three chapters into Book 4 of the Dragon’s Oath series… and already, the story is taking some unexpected turns.

I started with an outline—I still have it open, in fact. It’s kind of like my GPS: always there to guide me, remind me of key destinations, and make sure I don’t completely miss the big picture. But as any pantser-at-heart knows, sometimes the scenic route calls. And lately, I’ve been taking a few detours.

One of the biggest changes I’ve made so far? Tozet,...

Writing fiction is often seen as a carefully crafted journey from outline to finished manuscript, but as any experienced author will tell you, the real magic happens in the discovery process. Recently, I've spent most of my time editing and proofreading, getting Shadowalkers and Sages of Tachnir ready for publication. It feels good to be back in the proverbial writing saddle, working on Rise of the Variel (Dragon's Oath Book 4). I’ve found that some of the most thrilling moments in the...

Hi everyone!

The Dragon's Oath series is about to expand again. Book 3, Sages of Tachnir is about to drop. Here's a sneak peek at the cover. Let me know your thoughts. I can identify each of the people in that corridor.

Today I'm posting the book trailers for the first three books to catch ya'll up with where things stand. Yes! I'm excited, and now I'm off to work on book 4!

Writing a series like Dragon’s Oath is an adventure in itself. As I wrap up Book 3, I can’t help but reflect on the twists, turns, and challenges that have come with bringing this world to life. Behind every dragon, every moment of time travel, and every word written, there’s a whole lot of magic (and sometimes a bit of chaos) that goes into crafting the story. But everything has a purpose. Whether it's pushing the story forward, creating a question in the reader’s mind, or maybe a bit of...

This month’s reading journey took me through a mix of genres and styles, from mind-bending time travel to heart-pounding romances, with a dash of supernatural thrills. Here’s a quick look at what I read:

Book 1: A Discovery of Time and Space by Tiffani Smith – 3/5 Stars

Mixed Review – The plot of A Discovery of Time and Space was engaging, especially with its time travel and multiverse elements. Tiffani and her friends, Rory, Lin, and Ethan, are on a journey to uncover the mysteries...

This month's question: How do you go about building the worlds in your stories? Do you draw inspiration from real places or historical events?

As a character-driven fantasy author, my world-building process revolves around the lives and struggles of my characters. It all begins with a single scene where a character faces a significant issue. From this pivotal moment, I start to craft the world around them, letting their experiences and conflicts shape the setting in a natural and organic...

As we dive into this month, I’m thrilled to share the titles on my TBR list. From time travel adventures to haunted retreats, my February reads promise to keep me on the edge of my seat. Let’s dive right in!

First up, I’ve just finished What Happens in Montana by Kim McCollum. This is a gripping tale of friendship, betrayal, and ghosts! Set at a holistic hot springs retreat in the mountains, a group of friends is forced to confront long-held secrets while...
