For C in my A-Z Wilds Duology Challenge, I wrote a character interview with one of the two leads in Haunt of the Wilds–a gay romance/adventure fantasy novel.

Caliebb Renaveri – Character Interview

He takes up little space on the bench seat, as if trying not to call attention to himself. His blond hair seems darker in the muted light of the office, as if shadows stain the strands.

“Caliebb, it’s so good to meet you,” I say. “Your name, it’s a bastardization of Caleb, isn’t it?”

His smile is tentative. “If you say so,” he says. “I think you would know better than I considering you’ve had such a huge role in creating me.”

“Eh, it doesn’t work exactly like that. People sort of…”—I wiggle my fingers through the air as if to mimic the magic of the process—“create themselves. I just try to listen.”

His smile turns patiently disbelieving, but he doesn’t contradict me. Continue reading →

Haunt of The Wilds eBook CoverB in my A-Z Wilds Duology Challenge! B is for Broken Promises, an excerpt from the fictional textbook, An Understanding of the Planes, written for schools within the northern Empire mentioned in the duology. This is a teaser for my upcoming release, Haunt of the Wilds, a gay romance/adventure fantasy novel. It is on preorder now for only 99c. Coming December 3rd :)

BROKEN PROMISES

Overview of the Sixth Plane: MOIR

There are not many who travel into Moir, the death plane, and live to tell of it. Those who do, the people who are foolish or brave enough to open themselves to the horrors of walking among the essences of the dead, seeing the oceans of souls sweeping across the sky and watching the kings of darkness swoop within the empty voids sliced into the barren landscape, those people are never the same. They return with tales of a starless, treeless world, of races who relish pain and delight in misery, yet a film covers their eyes as they tell their stories and a bleakness seeps out from their souls.

The next chapter concerns what we know of Moir from those who have returned. Continue reading →

Song for the Wilds Cover Reveal

Song for the Wilds is the title for the second book in The Wilds Duology. Gay romance/adventure fantasy series.

Coming December 24th!

I’m not putting up the blurb yet because I want to do that closer to when Haunt of the Wilds will be published, but here is the awesome cover for Song, also done by Deranged Doctor Designs.

Song For The Wilds eBook CoverSong For The Wilds eBook CoverHere’s a smaller version of the cover.

Aaaand…random story time :)

Most of Song takes place in a plane devoid of a sun, but for half the year the sky is lit with a powerful aurora (Heh, see cover.) I ended up having the people of that plane call the lights gaslights because I like to try and name things using real terms so they might conjure an image. I’ve found this helps over using completely made up words all the time since I don’t have to drop into a paragraph of description every time I introduce something.

Of course, after I’d finished writing both books and was editing them I discovered that gaslight actually refers to some subgenre of steampunk or something or other. I don’t know. People make things up all the time and I feel behind. Like is clockpunk something now? Mythic? Dieselpunk? I’m so done.

At first I freaked, thinking I needed to change gaslights to something else. I even brainstormed a whole bunch of (dumb) ideas. Then I decided–fuck it. I’m keeping it. So gaslights it is and gaslights they will remain.

They are lights. In the sky. Green. Blue. Red. Purple. They’re cool. I like them. They allowed me to have people (like one of my leads) see without a sun–half the time at least :)

A-Z Challenge for The Wilds Duology

So I know technically this is the wrong month for it since November is usually reserved for Nanowrimo happenings, but I thought it would be a fun idea so I’m doing it anyway.

For the month of November, I’m going to do the A-Z challenge where I post every day (except Saturdays) with the topic of the post starting with the corresponding letter.

Haunt of The Wilds eBook CoverHowever, I’m doing it with a twist. Every post is going to be some sort of teaser for my upcoming novel publications. I’ve got short stories, poems, character interviews, (fake) book excerpts, (real) book excerpts, photos of my (admittedly crappy, but useful) maps, character diary entries, letters and even a quiz (because Q…) If that doesn’t excite you, I’m using the word Zombify for Z.

Basically lots of free fun wordage :)

Haunt of the Wilds, Book I in The Wilds Duology, is a gay romance/adventure fantasy novel coming out on December 3rd. It’s on preorder now on Amazon for .99c.

Haunt of the Wilds, the first book in The Wilds Duology, is a gay romance/adventure fantasy novel. It is now on pre-order at Amazon for only .99c!

But of course, it’s the cover you want to see, since that’s how we judge just about everything nowadays :)

Haunt of The Wilds eBook Cover

 

Haunt of The Wilds eBook Cover

It’s awesome! At least I think so. Here’s a smaller version that might be easier to take in all at once.

Both Wilds covers were designed by Deranged Doctor Designs, who were great to work with!

For those interested, here is the teaser for Haunt of the Wilds:

The wild will reign.

When Houndmaster De’vii and his pack take on a seemingly innocuous escort job, things quickly spiral out of control. Creatures straight from a death plane hide within the unfamiliar country and the people he’s supposed to rely on to help have their own darker motivations.

And then there’s De’vii’s alluring charge.

Caliebb Renaveri is harmless and quiet, yet also manages to stir the wild in every dog in De’vii’s pack. He can’t afford to allow the wildness to take over, nor can he abandon the job. But Caliebb is more than he appears and stronger than he seems and by the time De’vii realizes just how dangerous Caliebb truly is he stands to lose everything he holds dear: his mind, his life and his pack.

The exciting beginning to The Wilds Duology!

Warning: This novel features a houndmaster with wild and rough tendencies, both in bed and out, a mage spring who doesn’t know his own strength and a dark journey that will test them both.

Coming December 3rd!

The Wilds Duology Header

Finally! That’s what I’m thinking at least. I feel as if I’ve been working on this duology all year and finally I’m ready to announce it! It’s exciting for me :)

So without further ado, I’d like to announce The Wilds Duology! Coming in December!

These novels are gay romance/adventure fantasy featuring the same M/M couple in both books. Because of the length of the stories there is a lot of adventure, a lot of world-building and, of course, plenty of romance along the way!

HAUNT OF THE WILDS

The Wilds Duology: Book I

The exciting beginning to The Wilds Duology.

Warning: This novel features a houndmaster with wild and rough tendencies, both in bed and out, a mage spring who doesn’t know his own strength and a dark journey that will test them both.

I’ll be doing a cover reveal on October 19th! I also have a project I’m working on to give a taste of these novels. I’ll announce what that is closer to November. Stay tuned! :)
