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.

So as I've mentioned earlier, The Resurgence of Granaz is targeted for a spring 2010 release by Phantasy Ink Publications. I've signed on for three books with this new publisher, and one of the three books may or may not be an extended version of The Wrath of Zar. They are still reviewing my contract with my old publisher to ensure there are no legalities that may stand in their way. Early results are positive and hopefully that means we'll see The Wrath of Zar in new formats by the end of the year.

It appears that Phantasy Ink has revealed the title of my third book of the series. If you want to visit their website to find out what it is, venture on to www.phantasy-ink.com. 

I'll continue to update as we work out the detials. I will preview more of Resurgence online as we get closer to the actual release.

The Resurgence of Granaz is set for a spring 2010 release. The Wrath of Zar: Dragon Fire edition also set to release before Christmas. I'm not sure yet if the latter will be tradeback or an ebook. I'll post more info in the next few days.

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, trust me. 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.
