Have you ever had a single spark of an idea that just wouldn’t leave you alone? That’s how Drake Ascendant began. Not with a plot, but with a single scene. I imagined two children in a quiet, almost ordinary world, but they were in hiding but didn't know it. The question hit me: Why are they here? What happens next?

That one question became the heartbeat of the story that I followed into the backstory I didn't know. Soon I was following a journey I couldn’t have predicted, one that led to the...

Stories don’t begin on the page alone—they begin with the readers who walk beside them.

Over the past year, the world of Dragon’s Oath has grown beyond what I first imagined. Dragons have found their riders. Ancient oaths have been tested. Time itself has bent in unexpected ways. And through it all, you—the readers—have made that journey matter.

To say thank you, I’m opening a quieter door into this world.

An Exclusive Gift for Readers

The New Year arrived with a small but meaningful victory: my computer issues are finally resolved. Anyone who works digitally knows how disruptive technical problems can be, so it’s a relief to have that chapter behind me. Now I’m in the process of moving files, reorganizing my workspace, and easing my way back into a steady rhythm.

With that comes a return to the writing of two stories very close to my heart: Rise of the Variel (Dragon’s Oath Book 4) and Rekindled Hearts (Laramie Hearts Book...

I’m thrilled to share that Drake Ascendant, the first book in my Dragon’s Oath series, is being featured in the BuXmont Ladies Book Club! It’s such an honor to have the story shared with a group of passionate readers, and I can’t wait for them to dive into Ervig Greenfields’ adventure.

The Story Behind the Saga

When I first imagined this story, it began as a spark—a tiny scene that raised a question. The answer led to more questions, and before I knew it,...

The author’s life is, at its core, a life of discovery. Sometimes those discoveries are exciting and invigorating… and other times they’re the kind that make you want to put your head down on your desk and groan. This past week, I’ve had a little of both.

As many of you know, I’m currently knee-deep in two books.

First up: Rise of the Variel (Dragon’s Oath, Book 4)

I’m working through chapter 17, and wow—this one fought me. Someone dies, new powers surface, and the emotional weight of the...

I get asked a lot how I manage writing two books at once. The short answer? I love it. The slightly longer answer? It actually helps my creative writing process.

Right now, I’m immersed in Rise of the Variel (Dragon’s Oath Book 4), an epic fantasy full of dragons, magic, and high-stakes adventure. At the same time, I’m weaving the story of Rekindled Hearts (Laramie Hearts Book 2), a historical western romance where hearts and relationships are tested on the frontier.

At first glance, these two...

I’m deep into Rise of the Variel (Dragons Oath Book 4) — currently working on chapter 15. Of course, whether it’s still chapter 15 when the book is finished remains to be seen!

This chapter has been one of the most challenging to write so far. It involves the fulfillment of a major prophecy introduced earlier in the series, and while I can’t say what it is (no spoilers here!), I can say it’s been emotionally tough. Saying goodbye to characters who’ve been with me since Book 1 isn’t easy.

I...

When I first started writing The Inheritance, my main character’s name was Bother, because that’s what he was: bothered by a deep emptiness inside. Nothing filled that void. He lived with a persistent sense that something was missing, something just beyond reach.

The name Bother fit his restlessness perfectly, but it quickly became a problem. The word appeared too often elsewhere in the narrative and blurred the meaning I wanted to give it. So I began searching for another name—one that would...

"What genre would you like to try writing next?" is a question I’ve been asked more than once, and the answer might surprise some of my readers. While I started as a fantasy author, I’ve spent time ghostwriting, and in that role, I wrote more than a dozen historical romances. To my delight, I found that I really enjoyed the genre.

I’ve always had a love for history, I read the Bible daily, and I genuinely enjoy reading romance myself, so in many ways, inspirational historical romance feels...

Big news! Drake Ascendant made it into the top 100 of all free Kindle books this week, and reached #1 in Sword & Sorcery Fantasy Books, #1 in Fantasy Adventure Fiction, and #1 in Epic Fantasy (Kindle Store).

Thank you to all who made this possible.

This week, my creativity meandered through realms both fantastical and ruggedly real. I climbed alongside magic, explored the coming-of-age journeys of more than one fierce female heroine, and wandered through mountain tops where dragons roost and winds of change carry secrets.

Yet the worlds of my Dragon's Oath series weren't the only landscapes I visited. I also spent time in the Wyoming territory, where the sod house and sweeping high plains set the scene for Laramie Hearts, Book 2—...

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!

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?

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
