I Got an iPad and Quit My Job, etc.

Posted by: Brian

All right. Some updates now that I’ve settled in. I have gotten an iPad and a wireless keyboard, linked everything up through Google Docs, and now I’m “technologically advanced,” I suppose. With everything linked up, I can work on any device I have and the updates carry over automatically to everything else.

I have left my job as a dispatcher and have decided not to go back to another 911 center on a full-time basis. So, I’m a full-time writer and ...

A Brief Hospital Trip

Posted by: Brian

I’m lucky to be out of the hospital. I talked briefly about it on the Facebook page, but I’ll go ahead and update those who don’t visit there. I developed an infection in my leg, and for that, I had to visit the hospital for about four days. Everything’s fine now–well, still a bit sore in the affected leg, but I’ll be fine now–and I’m back at it.

The paperback and hardcover release for Consuls of the Vicariate will be soon. ...

Thieves in the Night: A Fate Worse than Death

Posted by: Brian

When I started writing The Dying Times almost two years ago, my subconscious played a bigger role than I realized. In imaging our personal horrors, we often think about a terrible end – the horrible death that comes as a result of whatever caused it. In the backdrop of our minds, though, lies the place where the culmination of everything surrounding that death exists. Though I write about the dead rising in the series, the fear lies more in acquiring ...

Readers are Awesome

Posted by: Brian

I just had several good reviews with great commentary, and I just wanted to say that I think readers are awesome. That’s all readers; you don’t have to exclusively read my stuff for the message to apply or anything like that. Books are such an interesting way for human beings to connect, and it’s unlike anything else. So, thank you, guys. I really appreciate it.

On the Events in Egypt

Posted by: Brian

I have taken a little time out from writing to observe the events going on in Cairo, Egypt, these past few days. It would appear that the events have become more violent. Hopefully, the violence will calm down, but I don’t see it happening.

As a member of a country that had a very violent revolution, I can only say that I hope that the transition from President Mubarak to a more democratic and free ...

Looking Towards the Future

Posted by: Brian

As I have substantially passed the halfway mark in writing The Survivor Chronicles series, there is always forward looking to consider. I can’t always write about zombies – well, I could, but I don’t want the stories to become stale or boring. So, I have to consider what is next in store for your poor, fledgling writer.

I’ve been asked, but I can’t tell anyone the answer to the question, “Where will you go from here?” It’s not because I am ...

Much has been said of my writing style

Posted by: Brian

From several less-than-stellar reviews on Amazon, I can only gather that many people who are now reading The Dying Times are not checking out samples of the book prior to purchasing or not reading the samples available on Amazon.

At any rate, I want to say to anyone who might find this post: please read the samples of anything you are considering buying, you’ll probably be happier with your purchases. Now, onto the rest of the post.

I think that the chief ...

Product Description

When Laedron Telpist’s sorcery training is interrupted by a knock on the door, what once seemed a proper profession must now be hidden. In a world where priests and mages vie for the limitless power of the elements and a new Grand Vicar has sworn death to all sorcerers, Laedron is tossed into a nightmare which would see his destruction at every turn.

From the home shores in western Sorbia, through the Cael’Brilland heartlands, and even across the seas to the great city of Azura, Laedron finds himself embracing old friends, consorting with unlikely allies, and confronting potent enemies. As he struggles to train himself in spellcraft, Laedron must face that he lives in a time when the utterance of a simple spell could be the signature on his death warrant.

Product Description

Laedron hasn’t been able to sleep for a week, yet he feels fresh and invigorated. He heals at an extraordinary rate, and finds that his hunger is satisfied by only a few morsels of food each day. Enhanced by the use of a soulstone, a vicar’s restoration spell has done much more than cure Laedron’s wounds, and a book with no name might be the key to discovering why. Unfamiliar with the deep implications of the magic behind his newfound abilities, he feels like his life is spinning out of control, and he must know the truth.

Laedron leads his companions to a land of vast pine forests to learn more of his condition, for the book mentions some of his symptoms and hints at the oldest secrets of mages. When he arrives in Lasoron, a strange old woman points him in the direction of the ancient ruins of Myrdwyer to uncover the answers he so desperately seeks.

An old feud, a host of soul-sucking enemies, and a madman bent on revenge stand between him and the answers he hopes to find, but he soon learns that some secrets are better left unknown to mortals.
