A mockup of The First Sin by Cheyenne Brammah.

In the sweeping expanse of the Årdrakin Empire, the people fight and die for honor as elite warriors of the galaxy. But long ago, a prophecy was spoken that presaged the apocalypse. Everyone knows and fears the truth: one day, the empire will fall.

Tårik is a guard for small, independent Clan Tsinna. Instead of pondering the end of his civilization, Tårik’s greatest concern is maintaining his honor while escorting a group of impertinent dignitaries across the treacherous Barren Gale. When the Mother Goddess speaks a passage from the prophecy to him, he has the good sense to be frightened, but he doesn’t heed the significance of Her visit.

Then disaster strikes, and Tårik is branded as an exile, leaving him with no home, no honor, and no future. Forced into a desperate struggle for survival, all Tårik can focus on is living just one more day until luck—or maybe fate—gives him the opportunity to join a new clan. But even this is fraught with danger and uncertainty, and it takes him to an inhospitable world far from the empire where survival seems all but impossible.

Faced with new challenges, including trying to navigate first contact with the low-tech locals, Tårik believes the prophecy can’t reach him. Yet it continues to loom, signaling that his fate and the fate of the empire are irrevocably entwined.

Oops, missed a day!

I think too many people still think self-publishing is the “easy way out” because the author couldn’t get a trad deal. Let me tell you! Self-pub is tremendously hard work and all the burdens that trad would host on the publisher are foisted upon the author. Not easy at all!

I have two myths for this one
(1) Writing is easy
(2) Artists should work for love, not money

The Backwards Knight, the first novel of my Eldritch Remnants series, awaits you. Very well received so far, you do NOT to want to miss out on this.

A snarky knight, a stabby princess, and a farm boy marked by magic. What could go wrong?

Hey I have a book out today which makes another completed trilogy!
But I'm super duper stressed at work so I've got no time to make a fun post.

If you enjoy dark sci-fantasy, trauma/healing, found family and weird and wild worlds, check out my Inner Universe series!

Do you ever feel like...

- You need to escape the drudgery of Earth? Like, right now?

- You crave the vast imagination of science fiction blended with the raw intensity of dark fantasy?

- You have a burning desire to see what life might be like for a trio of dragonoid aliens whose lives are guided by the belief that everyone has a fate in store for them?

If so, this book was written just for you.
The First Sin is an exciting character-driven dark scifantasy story that explores alien worlds, ancient secrets, and the dangerous cost of destiny.

The alternative is continuing to live in comfortable mediocrity, and that life isn't for you!

The skarastaja were a constant stain on the empire’s honor and history. He imagined Shazarel would remind them all of that and use it to justify her actions against the ‘alien trash’ of the galaxy.

That didn’t make it right.

I dream a dream where, in 12 days, readers will have The First Sin in hand, whether via ebook or print, and some will choose to carry it with them on their daily commute or to a vacation spot. They'll read it and they'll love it, and they'll say, WOW LOOK AT THAT COVER.

Since The First Sin has been almost 7 years in the making, and All Our Sins has been germinating since 1991, it’s tough to show the journey. But I have this screencap. This is just written stuff. The art files live elsewhere…
