The Artificer’s Knot releases today! Please go buy it. The Kindle Ebook is just 99 cents. You can also get hardcover and paperback, and for those I recommend the B&N editions. Also available through various Draft2Digital platforms. That’s it. That’s the post. Here’s a trailer:
It’s been a looong time since my last post. Mostly because I know no one is reading them, but also cause I’ve been busy finishing up edits for The Artificer’s Knot. The developmental editor I ‘hired’ turned out mostly to be a bust–I got basically two pages of critique, and none of it new.…
Giulia Degarno is out for revenge. But that’s only half the story. Up To The Throne is the first in Toby Frost’s ‘Dark Renaissance’ fantasy series, which takes place in, oddly enough, a dark fantasy version of the Renaissance. Published in 2018, it’s set in what could easily be an alternate sixteenth-century Italian city-state, where…
I may have mentioned once or twice that I’m more than a little bit obsessed with Dishonored, the 2012 masterpiece from Arkane Studios. So much so that in addition to some fanfiction, the setting of my third and fourth novels is heavily inspired by it, and at least one character in particular. I’ve just…
I’ve completed a first-pass edit of my fourth novel, titled The Artificer’s Knot. I wrote this one as completely stand-alone though it takes place in the same world as my Heron Kings books, about a dozen years after The Heron Kings Rampant. I still have a lot of rewriting yet to do, but I think…

It doesn’t seem that long ago I was putting titles and phrases from my fiction into that Wombo Dream AI app and getting out some very abstract, very hot pink AI-generated images. Now in the blink of an eye you can get more or less realistic portraits. I tried Midjourney, which is incredible but I…
Last year I began the process of commissioning new cover art for my fantasy trilogy The Heron Kings. I had always hated the generic covers my former publisher had stuck me with, and I partially blame them for the books’ failure to sell. I was hoping I could, at some point, get them to change…
The First Rule is the first entry in Steven William Hannah’s new series The Blind Age. This story blends conventional fantasy elements with new twists on familiar tropes with a laser-focused story that lets readers know exactly what they’re in for. In this foundational volume, readers are introduced to main character Venalia, a brand-spankin’-new…
Iron Curtain is the latest in the Sherman Iron detective thriller series by Bowen Greenwood. The books follow the eponymous small town Montana reporter as he fights to publish the truth while dodging bullets from the vicious drug cartel that has taken up residence. In this fifth installment, the story stands alone and can be…
