What an incredible feeling to be out and about and see your novels at a book store.

The magic in our world is never free--there is always a price.

DIVINE magic requires humility & service.

ELTARAN magic can leave a magus exhausted & defenseless.

Gwynedd. Tribesman of The North. Son of Cenydd and Eilwen Flame-Eye. Silo's right hand man. Feared warrior. To dismiss him would be foolhardy.

Having a co-author is both challenging and rewarding. Do the two of us always agree? No. Do we ultimately resolve it? Yes.

Overall, wouldn't trade in the co-author thing.

Dennis Riley (one half of him anyway) is taking a short break from the hustle & bustle of the city in order to regenerate in the mountains. Little chance of seeing a dryad though.

Early on, Ulric Darktalon questions that the Eltarans even exist.

In your mind, who exactly are these mysterious Eltarans, and what motivates them?

Here's a younger, greener, Ulric, as he was back in Mist View, prior to coming to the big city of Trumric. Notice he has not yet acquired Ghostwalker's magical spatha.

In the capital city of Trumric, status dictates architecture.

Where would you venture in this wondrous city?

Wise words from the Ghostwalker. And this advice applies to writing: removing filter words, avoiding redundant descriptions, and ensuring that action sequences hit with maximum force.
