I know I haven’t posted here in a while, but rest assured–I am hard at work on the next epic series taking place in the World of Mythania. These are longer epic fantasy books, and I want to get most of the books in the series finished before publishing.
So it will take a bit of time, unfortunately. I’m not the fastest writer around. On the plus side, you won’t need to wait long between book releases once the new series is ready!
Stay tuned for more details.

Magic, mayhem, and maniacal madmen! The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard audiobook is available now at Audible.com.
Detective Vescard knows all too well the monsters and madmen who prowl the fog-veiled streets of Corradon. He is, after all, a monster himself. But crime ever turns in the Clockwork City, and none are more suited to investigate those sinister deeds of criminal sorcery than the city’s greatest detective magus.
I am happy to announce The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard audiobook has a release date! Produced by Podium Audio and narrated by the fantastic voice talent Phil Thron, The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard will be released to Audible on April 26th, 2022.
Preorders are being taken right now on Audible. You can drop by the Audible page and order now, especially if you are already subscribe to Audible Premium.
The talented Giovanni Panarello has created some wonderful new artwork, bringing to life The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard. The first two illustrations show Detective Vescard and his apprentice, Keldon, facing off against some of the threats they have faced in their investigations deep below the Clockwork City. The third illustration is of Vescard looking out across the vast, industrial cityscape… With a few shady characters lurking about.
If you would like to see more of Giovanni Panarello’s work, please drop by his portfolio on ArtStation and check out some of his amazing illustrations.
The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard is available as eBook and paperback on Amazon.com.
The year 2021 has passed and 2022 now lies ahead. For those of you reading this who have been following me or who have been reading my books, this update is for you!
In 2020, I published the six novellas of the Siege Chronicles series. In January 2021, I released Siege Chronicles: The Complete Series, which combined the six novellas into a single collection. This book was also made available in a print edition, and in July of 2021 the audiobook edition was released, narrated by Michael Reimer.
In June of 2021, I published The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard, in both ebook and print editions. I have since received many requests for an audiobook edition, and I am happy to tell you that one is in the planning stages.
But what lies ahead for 2022? Not much that will be released, I am sorry to say. The big item will be the release of the audiobook for the Case Files of Aldicus Vescard. However, I do not have an ETA on that, as it is being produced by an audiobook company that has a bit of a backlog.
My plans for the rest of the year are to continue work on my epic fantasy series, The War of Wars, which has been years in the making. The War of Wars series takes place in the world of Mythania—the same setting for Siege Chronicles (which also takes place during the War of Wars) and The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard.
I wish I could say when you can expect to see the first book of the War of Wars series, but even I do not know. I hope to complete the first few books this year, and have first drafts of the others next year (in 2023), at which point I may begin releasing the series. But these books are epic-length fantasy novels (i.e., 600+ printed pages) so each draft takes a long time to write, to say nothing of revisions and editing.
All I can tell you is to stay tuned. Watch for the upcoming audiobook for The Case Files of Aldicus Vescard, perhaps sometime in the first half of the year, and drop by occasionally to see if I have posted more updates.
You can also join my newsletter to stay informed, or follow me on Facebook, Twitter, or the Twitter account for Mythania. Thank you!

Detective Aldicus Vescard knows all too well the monsters and madmen who prowl the fog-veiled streets of Corradon. He is, after all, a monster himself. Cursed in his errant past, his body now harbors a blazing fiend of pure, elemental chaos—kept in check by the bonds that smother his own magical abilities.
But crime ever turns in the Clockwork City, and none are better suited to investigate those most sinister deeds of inscrutable sorcery than Corradon’s greatest detective magus. With his loyal apprentice, Keldon Veldanor, and a host of street-smart allies, Aldicus will face a crucible of sorcery and villainy with only his wits and the science of forensic alchemy to aid him.
Yet, in the decaying depths of the Underworks far below the tick-tock city, there festers an even greater evil—a darkness that threatens not only the unsuspecting denizens of Corradon, but the fate of their entire world.
Production of the upcoming audiobook for Siege Chronicles is well underway. It may still be a few months before it is actually released, so to tide you over (or if you are simply curious), here is a 3 minute clip of Michael Reimer performing his narration.
I have receive a lot of inquiries asking if there will be an audiobook for Siege Chronicles. Well, good news! Production of the Siege Chronicles audiobook has officially started, and will be narrated by the talented Michael Reimer. The book will be available through Audible.
I do not have an ETA for release, unfortunately. There are factors involved that are beyond my control, such as production time and Audible’s own internal review process. I anticipate sometime in June. Regardless, you can rest assured that when the audiobook hits the Audible store, I will post about it on this website.
In the meant time, you may of course get the Siege Chronicles ebook from Amazon, or add it to your wish list and check back periodically to see if an Audible version is available.
