There are two weeks left of the Kickstarter for my fantasy novel Widdershins, and it's over 800% funded.
I began the kickstarter as a kind of last attempt at something hopeful and it's just exceeded my expectations. The support is wonderful. There are still 3 reward tiers left--have a look!

So Spirit's Blessing was supposed to be a spicy harem smut romance. But I'm not very good at writing either spicy content or smut. So now it's a harem romance.

Yeah, so if you want to grab my books through any of D2Ds affiliates, you have until the end of this month.

But if you want to grab Awakening through non D2D or Bezos sites, it is finally up on Kobo and you can pick it up there or any of their affiliates.

And if you like (or hate it) don't forget to leave a review

Journey from A Hobbit’s Tale to House of Ash & Veil

There are some roads in life that begin quietly.

Not with the sound of drums or the turning of great gears, but with a simple love for stories. A book opened late at night. A world discovered when the real one felt too loud. A fire lit in the imagination that somehow never truly went out.

Years ago, when I first started A Hobbit’s Journey, I never imagined it would eventually lead here.

At the time, the name felt perfect. Honest. Familiar. Warm. It reflected exactly what inspired me most: the worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien, the comfort of old stories, and the longing for adventure that so many of us carry somewhere deep inside ourselves. Like countless others, I found something in Middle-earth that stayed with me long after I closed the books or stepped away from the films. It was never just fantasy to me. It was hope. Wonder. Courage. Brotherhood. The reminder that even the smallest person can change the course of the future.

A Hobbit’s Journey began as a simple place to share thoughts about fantasy, gaming, writing, creativity, and the stories that shaped me. It became a place where I could reflect on the things I loved and slowly begin exploring worlds and ideas of my own. At first, I thought I was simply writing blog posts. Looking back now, I realize I was building the first stones of something much larger.

Because somewhere along the way, the stories grew.

What started as inspiration slowly became creation.

Worlds began taking shape in notebooks and scattered documents. Kingdoms emerged from sketches and late-night ideas. Characters started speaking with voices of their own. Music became intertwined with storytelling. Lore expanded beyond single posts and became histories, timelines, prophecies, and living archives. Entire universes began forming from the embers of imagination that Tolkien and so many other storytellers helped ignite years ago.

And eventually, I reached a point where I realized something important:

A Hobbit’s Journey was no longer large enough to hold the stories I wanted to tell.

Not because the old name was wrong.

But because the road had gone farther than I ever expected.

There is something fitting about that realization, honestly. Tolkien understood it better than most. The Shire was never truly the end of the journey. It was the beginning. The place where the fire was lit before the world opened wider. Before the mountains, the ruins, the forgotten kingdoms, the darkness, the wonder, and the weight of destiny revealed themselves beyond the horizon.

And I think many writers eventually discover the same thing.

The stories lead us farther than we planned.

Over the past few years, my work has expanded into something much deeper and more interconnected than I originally imagined. Worlds like Brothers Three and The Spindelum of Time began taking shape alongside kingdoms, ancient orders, lost histories, and mythologies tied together by themes of memory, sacrifice, brotherhood, destiny, and hope. Music projects like The Ambient Bard grew from simple fantasy inspiration into full bardic chronicles tied to the same living universe. New stories emerged. New ideas followed. The archive continued to grow.

At the same time, I found myself writing more than just fantasy.

I began writing about creativity itself. About healing. About fatherhood. About purpose. About the quiet battles people carry that the world never sees. Some stories became songs. Some became journals. Some became reflections on life, storytelling, and the strange way fiction often helps us better understand reality.

And somewhere within all of that, the idea for House of Ash & Veil was born.

The name means more to me than simply sounding “fantasy-inspired.” It represents the heart of everything I’ve been building.

Ash represents what remains after the fire:
memory, sacrifice, endings, ruin, and the weight of history.

The Veil represents mystery:
the unseen world beyond the surface, the hidden threads of time, forgotten truths, destiny, myth, and imagination itself.

Together, Ash & Veil became the perfect reflection of the stories I want to tell and the atmosphere I want to create.

Not just a blog.

Not just a portfolio.

Not just a collection of projects.

But a living archive of worlds, stories, music, lore, creativity, and imagination.

A place where fantasy, storytelling, philosophy, art, music, and worldbuilding can exist together beneath one roof.

A place where old stories inspire new ones.

A place where the fire continues.

That is what this site is becoming now.

The House of Ash & Veil will continue to feature the things that shaped the original journey:
fantasy, Tolkien inspiration, writing reflections, creativity, and worldbuilding. Those roots are not being abandoned. If anything, they are becoming stronger. Tolkien’s influence on my life and creativity will always remain part of this journey. The warmth of those stories still lives here, and always will.

This new chapter also represents something deeply personal to me as a creator.

For a long time, I hesitated to fully embrace the worlds and stories I was building. Like many writers, I struggled with doubt. I questioned whether the ideas were good enough, large enough, or worth sharing at all. It is easier sometimes to stay near the familiar hearth than to step beyond it into unknown lands. Easier to admire the worlds created by others than to believe your own stories deserve space beside them.

But stories only survive when someone is willing to tell them.

And perhaps that is the true lesson Tolkien left behind for so many of us.

Not that we should endlessly imitate the worlds we love, but that we should carry the fire forward and build worlds of our own.

That is what I hope to do here.

The House of Ash & Veil is not meant to replace the heart of A Hobbit’s Journey. It is the continuation of it. The road simply led farther than expected. What began as admiration for stories became the desire to create them. What began as a quiet blog slowly became an archive of worlds still unfolding.

And truthfully?

I think this is only the beginning.

There are still kingdoms left to map.
Songs left unsung.
Stories left unwritten.
Roads left unexplored.

The archive doors are only now opening for the first time.

So whether you’ve been here since the early days of A Hobbit’s Journey, or you’ve only just arrived now beneath the ember-lit halls of Ash & Veil, thank you for walking this road with me.

There are many stories yet to come.

And somewhere beyond the firelight, the next chapter is already waiting.

Welcome to the House of Ash & Veil.

#ScribesAndMakers № 10 If your project will be part of a series, do you know that before you start?

It depends. Awakening and Alliances were initially stand alones, but as I kept losing outlines and reworking the story, they ended up becoming a series (Divine Wars and Eternal Kingdoms respectively). Order of Creation started as a series, but I'm not sure how long that will last. It ultimately depends on the vibes.

So I'm kinda a sucker for a secretary with glasses. And the attendant maid for the noble love interest in Spirit's Blessing doubles as her liaison for any merchant interactions.

It turns out I did drop Roxanne's mother in Awakening. I was being vague since I hadn't gone through the book and had no notes.

But yeah, her mother is Amaterasu. So dad is Hades, mother is Amaterasu and very angry aunt is Persephone. Do with that information as you will

“Sweetie, honey, sugar, welcome home. Sit down, put your feet up. Daddy’s about to take real good care for you and answer all your questions.”

Divine Wars: Awakening

I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote that line, but all I know is that it has to be one of the more cringe worthy lines I have ever written.

So the concept and title for book two in the Divine Wars series has actually been decided for a while now. Titled Gates of the Apocalypse, it was supposed to go more into the lore of why Roxanne was such a terrifying presence to the Skyworld gods and the dragons. And the gates that kept "Earth" from being overrun was kept in check by three beings; an Underworld god, a Skyworld god and a horseman of the apocalypse.

#PennedPossibilities 990 — Have any of your characters ever been in a fight?

Yes. Actually both Llorien and Roxanne have been in a fight.

Roxanne had to fight the leader of a dark mafia who was under mind control and a dragon chimera that would eventually become the leader of the dragons.

Llorien on the other hand is called the Warrior Queen. When her kingdom is at war, she takes the front lines herself.

#WordWeavers 4/16 If your MC lived in our world, would they have good financial credit?

Roxanne would be like me, a struggling artist. Still not sure how she feeds her murder of ravens.

Llorien on the other hand has good financial sense and would probably head a company or two if she wanted to due to being a waitress and queen.

Llorien: I love my sister to death, but I feel like all the bad things happening are my fault. If anything, I wish I had been abandoned and everyone else lived in happiness. So I would rather be an only child, then maybe it would be easier for me to disappear.
