The Latest:

It’s here! The release of Findel’s Embrace has begun on Royal Road and on my brand new Patreon.

Findel’s Embrace is a standalone Wellspring Story (a story set in the same world as The Mine Lord and the rest of The Dwarves of Ice-Cloak series. It is not necessary to have read those stories to enjoy this one. 

Patreon is a great way to support my ongoing writing, access advanced chapters, and gain my sincere appreciation. Paperbacks and e-books will be released in a few months when the Royal Road release of volume 1 is complete.

 

The Mine Lord and Jackal of the Waste are now available!

See the Dwarves of Ice-Cloak series page here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BKH355TL

I’m happy to announce that as of July 2023, volumes #3 and #4 of the Dwarves of Ice-Cloak are here. What started as one ragged dwarven prospector arriving in my imagination back in 2021 has grown into a series I’m so pleased to present.

Check out the series page on Amazon here!

An Epic Fantasy of Dwarven Survival and Honor.

A folk harder than stone.

            A folk with hearts deeper than mines.

                    A folk with history longer than memory.

What began as the desperate hope of a ragged dwarven prospector would grow into the jewel of dwarven legend—but not without grit and blood and steel.
