So I am very excited to share the fact that I have a new piece of writing out and available. It is a novella, set in the Shadowrun universe. This has been something that has been very long in coming and that I have worked very hard for, so I am proud to have it available. Here is the synopsis from the Drive Thru RPG site.

Lucas, a gifted shaman and member of the Salish-Shidhe Council, is respected for his arcane talents among his tribe. When he’s blinded during a shadowrun on an Evo Corporation outpost, he’s fitted with a set of cybereyes during his recovery. But upon his return to the Council, the tribe banishes him, saying the cyberware he’s accepted makes him unfit to be a shaman. Distraught, Lucas heads to Seattle and spends time in the Barrens attempting to scrape by.

Wanting revenge against Evo, he teams up with a group of shadowrunners, influencing them to take runs against the megacorporation. During one such run, they determine that Evo is retrieving an arcane artifact from a dig site located in Salish-Shidhe territory. Lucas convinces his team to take the initiative and either stop the dig or steal the artifact. But when a team member double-crosses Lucas and the others, he must race against time to discover the true masterminds behind this shadowrun…and stop the thief before they escape with both the artifact and Lucas’s last chance for redemption…

The novella is currently available on Amazon or Drive Thru RPG.

And can we just take a moment to be excited about the cover? The artist did an amazing job! I definitely win the cover game this round.

Catalyst is releasing a short story anthology at Gen Con this year that connects to their collection of Sixth World tarot cards. This anthology is called Drawing Destiny. I have a short story in this anthology called "Ádhamh Ó Braonáin". It tells the story of a shaman who is struggling to strengthen her connection to the spirits, and will do just about anything for the goal.

If you'd like to read more about the inspiration behind the story, you can do so here. Catalyst is updating their tumblr with snippets from several of the writers about the inspiration behind their stories.

Check it out! The artwork is breathtaking and it was wonderful to be part of this anthology!

So I have been a little lax in my posting and one of these is horribly overdue, but I have some exciting news. I've written two more short stories that have been published in different universes.

The first is for the book Crucible, another collection of stories set in Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar universe. All new tales set in her world. My story deals with a young bard who has had some personal tragedy in his life and is looking for a way to get through his pain, which comes from a very unexpected source. You can find this through the usual suspects, like Amazon.

The second short story was published today and is set in the Exalted gaming universe. You can find this on DriveThruFiction. My story in here deals with a Solar who is trying to leave her past behind her, but it has a habit of following her.

That's two more short stories published, one of which is in a bran new universe for me! My repertoire keeps growing. One story at a time!

At long last, the paperback version of The Sheynan Trilogy is now available. This is a nice milestone to hit and I'm glad to have it publicly available. Now anyone who wants to get a physical copy who wasn't part of the Kickstarter can order one. You can get it from Amazon. Of course, if you wanted a copy of the limited edition hardback, a few of those are still available from Apocalypse Ink Productions. Now it is on to the next project!

World of Shadows anthology published!

I just found out that the World of Shadows anthology for Shadowrun just published and will be available at GenCon! This is very exciting for me. I have been a fan of Shadowrun since I first got into gaming. I think it was the second system that I ever learned, and it was so different from Dungeons and Dragons. I instantly fell in love with the cyberpunk universe. It is one of the universes that is near and dear to my heart.

So to be writing for it and having stories published is definitely a bit of a dream come true. It will be at the Catalyst booth at GenCon, and hopefully available for ordering online soon thereafter. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. Check out the amazing cover!

    Who am I?

    I'm a fiction writer, a game designer, a computer programmer, a hardcore gamer, and a professional sword swinger. I have a thirst for adventure and am a bit of an adrenaline junkie. I try to put a bit of that into all of my stories, and I do love telling stories!
