Almost everything about my chronicling work has been truly fun and rewarding. But this has to be one of the top three: when you’ve ordered another box of books and they come in. It’s a Christmas you make for yourself.

Based on sales in 2016 I had enough to order more copies of previous titles, including the long-awaited new covers for the first two tales in the Shards of Light series.

I had to wait a few days after the books came in, for my in-house model to schedule me in for a shoot. Then we got to work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, of course, it was just glorious. Here, have a few thousand words each.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So now I’m stocked for the fairs and library talks ahead, and personally I cannot wait. There’s a real sense of accomplishment, having multiple titles, being able to match a tale to the request of the readers I meet. For now, the new cover for The Ring and the Flag is available on the Zon, with Fencing Reputation to follow very soon. You saw it here first!
