OK, spammers, please STOP commenting on my blog!

I’m hoping that will be the case. At the moment, I am still learning how WordPress works. I thought I had the comments function on, but it doesn’t seem to be working yet. In the meantime, enjoy the new site and feel free to, um, keep your comments to yourself 🙂

Hold the phone! It works! Apparently you just click on the number in parenthesis beside the word comments or click the subject line for the post and it takes you to a reply page. Cool. It’s not even 8:30am and I’ve already learned something. Oh, and the other thing I’ve learned is that while blueberries shrivel to hard, little pellets if left in the fridge too long, strawberries turn to mush which in turn grows fuzzy mold (or maybe it’s moldy fuzz).

I’m not just a fantasy author, I’m also a well of inane, obvious, and exceptionally trivial facts. Tomorrow, I’ll examine the vegetable crisper. I don’t think I’ve looked in there since I bought an onion…in March.

 

Welcome to my new site!

Coming Soon: Ashes of a Black Frost

Bones jutted from the sand at angles—not odd angles, though, for that would suggest that there were ways bones could protrude that made sense—and the eyes of those still living stared and saw nothing.

Amidst a scene of carnage on a desert battlefield blanketed in metallic snow, Major Konowa Swift Dragon sees his future, and it is one drenched in shadow and blood. Never mind that he has won a grand victory for the Calahrian Empire. He came here in search of his lost regiment of elves, while the Imperial Prince came looking for the treasures of a mystical library, and both ventures have failed. But Konowa knows, as do the Iron Elves—both living and dead—that another, far more important battle now looms before them. The campaign in the desert was only the latest obstacle on the twisted, darkening path leading inexorably to the Hyntaland, and the final confrontation with the dreaded Shadow Monarch.

In this third novel of musket and magic in Chris Evans’s Iron Elves saga, Konowa’s ultimate journey is fraught with escalating danger. A vast, black forest finds a new source of dark power, spawning creatures even more monstrous than the blood trees from which they evolve. The maniacally unstable former emissary of the Shadow Monarch hungers for revenge, leading an army of ravenous beasts bent on utterly destroying the Iron Elves. A reluctant hero, Private Alwyn Renwar, struggles to maintain his connection to this world and that of the loyalty of the shades of the dead. And in a maze of underground tunnels, Visyna Tekoy, whom Konowa counts among those he has loved and lost, fights for her life against the very elves he so desperately wants to find. And so Konowa sets off from this Canyon of Bones, pursuing his freedom from a curse that has cast his life in darkness. For though his long, violent trek may indeed lead him to his destiny, he is ill prepared for the discovery he will make . . . with the fate of the Iron Elves, and the world, hinging on the courage of one wrathful elf.
