The Wrath of Zar: Dragon Fire Edition will be available on Kobo starting Tuesday, July 20. It is already available on the Amazon Kindle and iPad. (American Store) I was told that the iPad version will expand into all territories in the next few weeks. Amazon also has the softcover version for sale, which you can view here.
I'm still working on some updates for Resurgence. I hope to have them posted in the next few weeks.

The Wrath of Zar: Dragon Fire Edition will be available for North American customers in the iBook store just in time for the iPad release in Canada. (May 28th) I've been told the Amazon version is now bug free and available for $6.99.
The paperback version is being printed as I write this. Because this is Phantasy Ink's first release, it will probably take a few weeks for the book to start appearing in online retailers.
The Resurgence of Granaz is still scheduled to release later this year. I'm currently still editing...but the good news is that the book continues to improve. I'm very, very excited about this one. I should have my edit wrapped up in the next couple of weeks, then the manuscript is off to Marty Halpren where he will undoubtedly unleash his red ink throughout the book. After that review copies will be printed and sent out. If you're interested in receiving a copy, please don't hesitate to send me an email.

The Kindle version for The Wrath of Zar: Dragon Fire Edition is now available at Amazon. Currently, the book is listed for $6.99, but there are a couple of glitches inside the book from its transfer over into Amazon's system. (The scene breaks are missing) So until the publisher get's the issues corrected, you can enjoy the discounted price. I've been told the price will go up to $8.99 once the issues are fixed. Don't forget, even if you don't have a Kindle you can still purchase the novel for use on the free Kindle reader on your computer.
The paperback version will be available at various internet suppliers (Amazon first, then Chapters, Barnes and Noble, etc., to follow) for $14.99 in about two weeks from now. Only a limited number of copies will be printed.
Have an iPad? The Wrath of Zar: Dragon Fire Edition will be available soon in the ibook store. Other ebook versions will follow. Pricing for most ebook editions will be $8.99.

The Wrath of Zar: Dragon Fire Edition has been copy edited by World Fantasy Award finalist Marty Halpern and is almost ready to launch. The ebook should be ready within the next couple of weeks, followed by a limited number of printed editions available for special order.
I've also posted some more incredible artwork courtesy of Rico Holmes. This artwork will be used for the cover for The Resurgence of Granaz, which is still set to release later this year. I am currently involved in yet another edit for the novel, which comes after working with Marty Halpern on The Wrath of Zar. Mr. Halpern will be editing the novel once I've completed my revision. My excitement for this one continues to grow. If you have read the Wrath of Zar and eagerly await Resurgence, the preview included in Dragon Fire Edition will certainly wet your appetite for what's coming.

Today I'm finally able to reveal the new artwork for The Wrath of Zar: Dragon Fire Edition, due to be released in April 2010. I've been told that this cover art is not the final product and is subject to change.
The new dragon fire edition includes extended scenes cut from the original novel, as well as an exclusive preview of The Resurgence of Granaz, also slated to release later in the year.
You can preview the Dragon Fire Edition by following the "Wrath of Zar" button on the left hand side of this page.
I'll have more information regarding the release soon.

I must sincerely apologize for the lack of updates, an apology that should extend beyond the recent months. This past year has felt like a blur in slow motion, with so many different things happening at the same time.
And now that I’ve updated, it isn’t with the promised information you’ve been waiting for. Sadly, I bring disappointing news. The Wrath of Zar: Dragon Fire Edition has been delayed until the Spring, therefore pushing the release for The Resurgence of Granaz until Fall 2010. As disappointed as I am, I understand what Phantasy Ink is doing. They are investing time and money into a book that has already been published, and they want to ensure their efforts are properly marketed.
I can offer a small tidbit of good news: I’ve seen the artwork for The Resurgence of Granaz, and simply put—it’s awesome. The cover art is an extremely impressive rendition of Granaz. I should be allowed to reveal it early next year.
New artwork is still in development for the Wrath of Zar. Barring any more delays, this should be ready by the end of January. The ebook and limited editions in trade back should be available by March or April.
I would like to send a special thank you to all those who continue to drop by the site and check in with recent developments. Your patience is appreciated. When you do finally receive your copy of The Resurgence of Granaz, I promise you will not be disappointed.
Happy holidays everyone, and I wish you all the very best for an extraordinary New Year.

I can officially announce "The Wrath of Zar: Dragon Fire Edition." This new edition will feature some new material and an extended battle scene with Zar. The book will be published in limited quantities only, but will also be made available as an ebook. It will also include the first three chapters from "The Resurgence of Granaz." Release dates and a new cover will be unvieled soon. I'm still hoping we can get it out before Christmas, but time is tight and there are still a few things left to finish.
I'm off to San Jose to attend the World Fantasy Convention.

I've had a very busy spring which has caused me to put some things on hold. As I mentioned in my last update, (the months have flown by) I was forced to spend extra time on my business and set aside my love for writing. Things aren't going to slow down any time soon either, which means at this point I still don't know when Resurgence is coming. I don't want to release the book until I'm absolutely comitted to the effort that's required. I'd also like to see the Wrath of Zar released in a different format other than hardcover, something that I'm currently discussing with the publisher.
I can give you a small update on another project. I've re-named Into the Depths of Jade to Memoirs of the Dragon Death King. Sounds a little weird, doesn't it? It's as good as it sounds weird. I wanted to finish the project by the end of summer, but that's not going to happen now. I'll keep plugging away when I have time. In the meantime, you'll notice I changed a few things around here. You can read the first little bit of Memoirs and I posted the chilling prologue from Resurgence.

The traffic to my website is steadily growing, and I really wish I could do more to maintain the content on this site to keep things interesting for everyone. The truth is that right now I am extremely busy, working on various writing projects as well as my current full time job, which at the moment is vital to the survival of my company during an economic slowdown. This has delayed some important announcements that I had hoped to have released by now. I do hope to have those offical statements released on this website in the coming weeks. For now I would like to thank everyone for returning to this site as much as you do, and assure you that the wait will be worth it.
