New covers are great. Getting a proof copy is stellar, but for me, this is where the magic begins. Having hard work rendered into the real in the rawest sense possible reminds me of the first stories I ever imagined.

It's a lost boy's dream and it never gets old. #books #indieauthor #thriller

Time flies. Today is the 3rd anniversary of my first published work. In celebration, I have officially added 'Children of the Black' to Kindle Unlimited and given it a permanent price drop to just .99 cents.

It is time to take a journey into the Black...maybe even with a friend.

June has turned out to be a big month. Two big sales, a book signing with other local authors (my first) and a decent amount of new readers have begun their journey into the Black.

Sunny days will come again...dependant on your planet. If there is a single concept shared in this book, that is it.

If there are two...

The Black is timeless, cold and unforgiving. Those within its eternal embrace know this well. Still, adventure, discovery and danger await those brave enough to cast off the shackles of their world's gravity & seek the unknown among its silver-lined stars.

When war is over, but what happens to the weapons forged to win it? In the waning hours, two lost souls, left for dead found a way to live.

Now, 6 years later, they must recover lost research capable of rekindling the conflict that transformed them into the anomalies they are.

Hi, if you check out the review from whataimeereads with the link below you’ll see that my dark fantasy book ‘A Dragon of the Veil’ has yet another brilliant review. Thank you. However, this review and a few others have mentioned the start can be complex so…1/4

Authors if you see this, post the first line of your book!

"The Black was timeless, cold and dead."

- Children of the Black (book 1 of the Silver Sights saga)
Authors if you see this, post the first line of your book!

"In the Thirty-Ninth Century, great men and women of the human race strode among the stars and trod the jewelled thrones of the universe under their sandal’d feet."

- Eejit, book 1 of The Final Fall of Man
Authors if you see this, it’s a sign to post the first line of your book.

"Marlowe had offered me fifty dollars to stand out here in the freezing Chicago cold and do an augury, and like a damn greedy fool, I said yes."

A huge thanks for all your kind words and thoughts. I can't wait to see what you think of Book 3 when the time comes.
Last week I read The Hound of Greyvor (sequel to Children of the Black; a semi finalist in #SPSFC3) by @wjlongiii.bsky.social. I've updated my GR review. I've had Greyvor headworm.
