The Chronicles of Chaos is now complete!
25 years ago, the evening before I was to pitch the Wheel of Time game to Activision, they let me know they liked the game, but didn’t want the license. They wanted me to come up with an alternative premise. Well, we made the Wheel of Time game through GT, but that premise stuck with... Continue Reading →
The Realm of Gods is done!
15 months and 118,500 words and the manuscript for the Realm of Gods, the finale to the four volume Chronicles of Chaos, is complete.

The House of Prophecy won the American Fiction Award!

This year's launch of all of the various versions of the House of Prophecy stumbled around a bit. Despite my best efforts, the hardback and the audiobook were delayed by... Continue Reading →
Back to Back Awards!
In an already eventful summer (which included the Dante Rossetti Award for GoW), the Chronicles of Chaos won two major awards in the space of a week! First, the Game of War won the Readers' Favorite Gold Medal for YA Epic Fantasy. If this award feels like deja-vu to you, that's because the Child of... Continue Reading →
