Mage Errant 4 out now!
Added 2020-08-13 22:45:42 +0000 UTC
I had planned the release of Mage Errant 4 for August 15th, but I came to four very important realizations today:
#1: I’ve just been sitting on the completed manuscript, and I’m as angsty to get it into my readers’ hands as a number of them have let me know they are to read it.
#2: I’m my own boss, I can do what I want.
#3: I’m halfway around the world from most of my fans, and timezones are the devil and I’m tired of calculating them.
#4: Time has no meaning in 2020.
So I’m releasing The Lost City of Ithos early! Because, really, why not?
Half a millennium ago, the sphinx Kanderon Crux and her allies banished the city of Imperial Ithos from the world of Anastis, in a desperate attempt to defeat the Ithonian Empire. Her dread weapon, the Exile Splinter, even erased the memory of its location from the universe. Now it’s returning, bringing the Exile Splinter back with it. The great powers of the continent are desperately hunting for the site of the lost city, knowledge lost even to Kanderon herself. None know what ancient Ithonian weapons and enchantments might still be found in the ruins, but even the Exile Splinter alone would be a prize justifying war.
Hugh and his friends find themselves dragged along on the search, where they’ll face enemy warlocks, sea monsters, liches, unnatural storms, and even a man-eating tiger. There’s something they’re not being told about the lost city, however.
Something that has even Kanderon and the other great powers terrified.
The previous books in the series are going on sale to celebrate! Book 3 is currently on sale for $0.99, while Book 1 will be free and Book 2 will be $0.99 on the 14th! (Pacific Time, so in a few hours.)
In addition, the audiobook for my standalone epidemiological novel The Wrack– which is set in the same multiverse as Mage Errant- is coming out August 18th! It’s narrated by the brilliant Adjoa Andoh, from Doctor Who!
Oh, and I finally commissioned a map! Ask me about the weird geology!

I don’t want to give anything away on tang eater, which I’ve just started, but I will say I love the way you are consistent but not still or boring with the personalities of the main characters. I’m loving it so far!

2021-01-12 17:46:50 +0000 UTCIn mage errant book 4 Alustin says "Alustin shook his head. “Magic can’t significantly affect the aether in any way except drawing mana from it. It purely acts upon the physical world.". When I read the Wrack they can use a machine to manipulate the actual aether. Is this a mistake or is it because of the different universes having unique Aether?
