The Ashfyre Quintet is the first series in the World of the Thinlands.
In a world where iron outlasts mercy and crowns are forged in blood, kingdoms stand beneath rusted banners. Knights ride in battered plate, their armor pitted and stained, their vows hollow. Honor is a...

I started writing back in 2006, and under my real name I have several traditionally published nonfiction works. I took the leap onto eBooks in 2017. I write for fun, and to put my kids through college. If you like epic fantasy, elements of low, romantic, high, dark, grimdark fantasy, and rich world building, I think my writing has something to offer! I hope people will enjoy my stories. This is 100% a pseudonym, and I don't want my real life to intersect with my writing. The two are *very* separate.
--The World of the Thinlands—
This is my Low Fantasy, Grimdark world that is characterized by one main race, with a few smaller more mysterious races, magic that is rare and not understood, nations that rise and fall as Kings and Queens die in wars that ravage the land. In this world I also write more in 1st POV, and it can be a little spicier, and bloodier. This is my preferred world to write in post 2025. The main work of this world is The Ashfyre Quintet, five longform epic fantasy books that serve as the foundation for the world, weighing in at 1.5 million words. By 2028 I plan to have around a dozen books released in this world.
--The World of Espa--
This is my High Fantasy world that is characterized by multiple races, magic that is interwoven into everyday life, sword and sorcery, thousands of years of history spanning multiple nations. In this world I write predominantly in 3rd POV, and all of the series are interlocking and build upon each other. The first series of this world is The Espa Chronicle, and the largest series of this world is The Freebooters which details the lives of a mercenary company. There are 30 books as of 2025 in the World of Espa.
All of my work is available on Amazon KDP and you can also find me on Royal Road!

Peela climbed down from the caravan's wagon, her boots landing with a soft thud on the dusty, uneven street. She turned back and waved to the caravanner, a wiry old man with skin like tanned leather who raised a hand in return before snapping the reins and urging his horses forward. The creaking of the wagon blended into the cacophony of Bordertown, a chaotic symphony of voices, footsteps, and the clamor of trade. For her first time in the empire, this wasn’t what she expected. It...
