Happy December, gang!

I'm posting a bit early than usual, but that's because I'm doing something special that I'll talk about in a few moments.

Lot of fun stuff to share with you in this last month of the year.

Writing News

I have finished Book 1 in my urban fantasy series Magic Trackers, and I am very excited to have some momentum. I am already well into Book 2, so I'm waiting to see how this series evolves. It may be 3 books, or it may be 12. I'll know in about a month or so.

New Short Story Available

My Galaxy Mavericks story “Maybe Now the Stars Will Shine” has been published in The Expanding Universe Anthology Volume 3, edited by Craig Martelle. The story follows agent Devika Sharma (from Zero Magnitude) in a mission that starts just before the Galaxy Mavericks series begins.

I'm in the company of some of the best and brightest new authors–New York Times and USA Bestsellers—31 fantastic stories in all. So be sure to pick up your copy today:

Book Wizard – New Way to Find My Books

I have written a LOT of books, and I realized that if I were a new reader to this website, I wouldn't have a clue where to start.

That's why I created a new tool called Book Wizard. By answering a couple of quick questions, it will serve up a series tailored to your reading tastes in just 5 seconds or less.

Modern Necromancy is now available everywhere

My series with Justin Sloan is now available on all retailers. This is by far my bestselling series, with over 120 reviews on Book 1 on Amazon alone.

You can grab Book 1 for free (limited time) here.

What I've Accomplished in 2017

I've done a lot this year, and I thought it would be a good idea to highlight some of those things here.

• Published the Galaxy Mavericks series – 9 books
• Had a Galaxy Mavericks short story included in The Expanding Universe Anthology (be sure to buy here)
• Started writing my Magic Trackers urban fantasy series (1 book done)
• Revamped my website
• Revamped my personal brand with more cohesive covers
• Created a Patreon page
• Outsourced a lot of behind-the-scenes work so that I could spend more time writing books, which is one of the reasons why I published so much this year
• Finished my first semester of law school
• Accepted a new job at my current employer with more responsibility

In many ways, there is no logical reason I should have been able to get as much done as I did this year. But I have been blessed this year in a number of ways.
