“Darkness has swallowed the Aeslish. The empire serves Sokar. One by one, our settlements will fall, and the Aeslish will follow. The black wyrm demands its sigil. She must deliver it, or all will be lost.”

Following Imago’s violent retribution against the Order, Aod and her companions must face judgement from a tribunal of ancient spirits called the Speakers. To avoid execution or eternal imprisonment, Aod must make a choice: abandon her companions to their fate or forgo any possibility of returning to the life she once knew.

Meanwhile, the spread of deadly aswangs in Veschke continues to erode the Balance and a new Archminister of the Order rises to take Reinhardt’s place, one that is determined to see Imago dead at all costs. One that knows the face of his greatest weakness; Aod. With war on the horizon and life itself at stake, the collapse of Tamoreh seems more likely than ever.

Who am I?

An anthropologist by day, a writer by night, I have been working on The Lost Mythologies series for the better part of ten years and have amassed enough material to produce three books. When not working or writing, I like to spend my time playing video games, going on road-trips, and checking out museums.

Where did the idea come from?

It spawned from three sources: My passion for the subjects of mythology and culture, my love of D&D-based fantasy authors like Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman, and R. A. Salvatore, mashed up with my adoration of more off-beat fantasy writers like Neil Gaiman, Charles De Lint, and Stephen King. Wherever it is that dark, magical, and weird with a dash of humor make a crossroads--that’s where this idea came from.

How can readers help shape my draft?

FEEDBACK! I can take it. I don’t care if you love it or hate it, just tell me, and more importantly, tell me WHY.
