Character Concept art for the Freeworld Chronicles. First is Qaeli, the erstwhile companion. Don't let her lack of hair or her complexion worry you, she's a Menton. They all look like that. Qaeli enjoys netjumping, an illegal activity, analogous to hacking, and she dislikes vegetarian cuisine.



Next is Master Jax Idor, the mentor. Always seemingly running short on patience, one wouldn't think he would have to remind anybody that he's not running a wayward house for girls. Nonetheless, Master Idor is a capable teacher, and provides a stabilizing influence.



And finally, our protagonist, Abby Ashford. Abby grows throughout the series from a brash, playful, pouty teen to a servant of the divine will. But no matter how far she has come, she still cannot stand Telorin gruel.

August 4th-6th will be the 5th annual Myth and Legends Con at the Ramada Plaza Denver North.

My schedule has been confirmed. I will be moderating two panels: "RPG world-building," and "How to be a better roleplayer" and sitting on 3 others, "So you want to turn your hobby into a business," "Pitching to the editor," and "Games and fandom tie-ins." If you're at Malcon stop by and say hi.

Starting Sunday, July 9, and running through July 13, "The Initiate's Crucible" will be free on amazon.com as part of a free book promotion. I need reviews on Amazon. Verified purchase reviews are like gold to indy authors like myself. If anybody would be willing to purchase the book for free from Amazon and leave me a review, you would really be helping me out. Also, please do not feel obligated or pressured to leave me a good review. An honest review of what you think of the book is more than enough. Thanks for your support!

You can purchase it here!

Thanks to everybody who came to my panel on RPG World Building and made it such a success. The room was packed, we had some great questions. I only wish we had more time to present. 50 minutes hardly seemed like enough time. As promised here are the slides in both .pdf and .pptx formats. I hope they help you to create more imaginitive gaming worlds!

Next month Denver Comic Con makes its return, and I will be on at least two panels at the con, Gamemastering Best Practices, and Religious Themes in Star Wars. This will be my 3rd year at DCC, and my 3rd years sitting on my friend Jason Evans's Gamemastering Best Practices panel. The Religious Themes in Star Wars panel is my panel, and this will be my first year running it. If you happen to be at DCC, please come by, join in on the scintilating discussion, and say hi!

Denver Comic Con 2017 will be June 30-July 2 at the Colorado Convention Center. Click Here for more information.

Starting on March 23rd at 8am Pacific Time, The Initiate's Crucible will be on sale on Amazon for only $0.99 running through Midnight on March 30th. Don't miss out on a great story. Make sure to get your copy here.

So I am working on a new Trilogy called "Guardians of the Nexus" telling the story of four college students, who through one mistake are transformed into living weapons and become embroiled in an ongoing conflict for the fate of the multiverse. Guardians of the Nexus will have 3 volumes:

Volume I: Bane's Gambit
Volume II: The Dread Incarnate
Volume III: The Day the Multiverse Died

Of course, with the glut of other novels I need to proof and publish (Freeworlds Chronicles 2nd Editions, Song of the Multiverse) there's no way I can estimate when these books will be available in print or digital formats. I really wanted to be working on getting those churned out but the inspiration for this project came to me toward the end of last year and the earlier part of this year, while I was writing "Song of the Multiverse" and you know, you've got to strike when the iron is hot. Nonetheless, I still hope you will consider reading them when they do become available.

Starting at midnight tonight (not sure which timezone, Pacific I think?) the 2nd Edition of "The Initiate's Crucible" will be free for download on Amazon, running through midnight December 13th. I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Hannukah!

You can download it here.
