AMONG SERPENTS is not cozy. It's not spicy, but it's a violent, non-stop action-packed adventure.
I will be doing one final SKY'S END signing in 2024 on Saturday, December 7th at 3PM at the B&N store in Murray, Utah to cap off my dream of a year but stay tuned for 2025 events and locations. There will be many, and I have some fun announcements in store for you.

Okay, fellow bookworms, if you’re like me, sometimes you pick up a new fantasy series and it just... well, it doesn't work for you. Maybe it’s too slow, too predictable, or the world-building feels a bit flat. But let me tell you, from what I’ve seen of the early buzz, AMONG SERPENTS 2 ABOVE THE BLACK is shaping up to be anything but that! This isn't your grandma’s cozy fantasy, nor is it going for the typical 'spicy' romance angle. This book is described by early readers as a 'violent, non-stop action-packed adventure' – and honestly, that’s exactly what I'm craving right now! The early reader reactions I've been seeing are just incredible. People are calling it 'heartbreaking' and 'breathtakingly so,' which tells me it's going to hit you right in the feels while keeping you on the edge of your seat. Imagine a story packed with 'adrenaline and sweetness' – a rare combination that promises both thrilling moments and genuine emotional depth. One reviewer even highlighted the 'intense fight scenes' and how it delivers 'pure adrenaline' from start to finish. If you’re a fan of fantasy that doesn’t shy away from epic battles and keeps you guessing, this sounds like a perfect fit. What really stands out is how AMONG SERPENTS seems to be 'going big' with 'battle after battle' and constantly introducing 'new beasts to fight.' This isn't a series that rests on its laurels; it pushes the boundaries of what an 'action-packed high stakes adventure' can be. And it’s not just about the action! Readers are also praising the 'complex characters' and the strong themes of 'friendship' woven throughout the narrative. For me, that’s key – I need characters I can truly connect with, even amidst all the chaos. Plus, the promise of 'immersive world-building' means we're in for a treat, getting lost in a richly crafted universe. So, how do you prepare for a book like this? First, make sure you're caught up on the first book in the series, AMONG SERPENTS. You wouldn't want to jump into Book 2, ABOVE THE BLACK, without knowing the full backstory, trust me! Once you're ready, clear your schedule, because it sounds like a true page-turner you won't want to put down. Think of it as a full-on cinematic experience in book form. If other fantasy series have felt a bit stale, or if you've been looking for something that truly excites and challenges you, then keep an eye out for this launch. It sounds like the kind of book that will make you remember why you love fantasy in the first place, offering an experience that truly works for those seeking intense, character-driven adventure. Get ready to dive into a world where every page promises a new thrill!
