Howdy all!

 So I told you a couple of weeks ago how I needed to remove the first two books of the Prophecy of the Dragons from Smashwords (and their affiliates) because they were not yet done in the KDP Select run (free to download for Kindle Unlimited members). While I waited, I discovered I get more readers through the KDP Select program than Smashwords or the affiliates, so I decided to re-up Dragon Guard and Dragon Dreams to the program and unpublish books 3 and 4 (Dragon Magic and Dragon Hex) from Smashwords. I will give them a day or two to be removed from the affiliates, and then I will add those to the KDP Select program, too, so Kindle Unlimited readers will be able to read the entire series for free (not counting their monthly fee, of course!).

 For any inconvenience this causes non-Kindle customers, I apologize, but for me, this makes more sense. If you don't have a Kindle, remember you can always download the free Kindle app on your phone, tablet, or desktop/laptop. (Check your appstore!) That'll allow you to purchase any book that is only available on Amazon (like mine!), but also take advantage when authors list their books for free. I don't have a timeline yet, but I will be putting my books up for free on various weeks in the not-too-distant future. I will, of course, let you know right here and on Twitter when I plan to do this.

 Two more things. One, in addition to removing the Prophecy of the Dragon series from Smashwords, I also unpublished my lone remaining standalone title on there, Ghost Betweens. That will also be added to the KDP Select program in the next day or two. Two, plotting and outlining for Dragon Crystal, the 5th book in the Prophecy of the Dragons series, has been completed, and I'm starting the 1st draft tonight. My goal is to complete it by mid-July, so with revisions, we're probably looking at a late-August, but much more likely September, release. Again, I'll have much more information available later. I will post short updates on how the 1st draft process is going on my Twitter account for anyone interested.

 That's all I have for you today! Thanks for reading!

New Blog

Howdy All! I feel like I'm heading in a new direction with placing the Prophecy of the Dragons series on Smashwords, making Dragon Guard free and Dragon Dreams cheaper  (more on that in a moment), and creating an email newsletter soon, so I thought a new-look blog was necessary. My old one was a bit of a mess, so I deleted it for a fresh start. I'll be making it look nice and adding a bunch o' info to it in the coming days and weeks, so I figured I'd put all the initial links in this post. And give you a heads up on what's happening and what's going to happen. This'll be fun, so read on! First off, as I said, I put the Prophecy of the Dragons series to Smashwords. You can find the series here .  It means an end to the books being a part of the Kindle Unlimited reading program, but if you have been meaning to read any of the books there, you still have time. I believe Amazon may take them off at any point (from Kindle Unlimited, not the site overall), b

Prophecy of the Dragons Update

Greetings! I have a few things for you today. First off, thank you for your interest in the Prophecy of the Dragons series. Whether you are looking in at it for the first time, or have read each book numerous times, I thank you.  Now, for the news. The book that started it all, Dragon Guard , is now free everywhere you get your ebooks. And I don't mean for merely a few days. I'm talking perma-free. You can download it from Amazon , Smashwords , Barnes & Noble , Kobo , and plenty of other retailers. I'm doing this to get more people into the series.  In addition, I've made the second book of the series, Dragon Dreams , 99¢ at all of the above (including the "plenty of other") retailers. And, as of me typing this, it is still free to read with Kindle Unlimited, and will be until June 28 (unless Amazon cancels it before then, as they might since it is no longer Amazon exclusive). Books 3 & 4, Dragon Magic and Dragon Hex , respectively, are still $2.9

Writing Hiatus

Hello Everyone! First off, I want to thank you all for supporting the Prophecy of the Dragons series. I really appreciate it! Second, I'm afraid I have to announce I'm taking an indefinite hiatus from writing. I promised a new series at the end of Dragon Crystal (which I will be removing soon), and I plan to write it at some point, but not soon. I will also get back to Ben and Andi's story, but it may not happen soon. Life changes circumstances, and it's happened for me. In the meantime, you can still read all of the books I've already published, in addition to the five Prophecy of the Dragons books. I hope you still enjoy those, and will be ready for more when I can get back to writing.  Thank you for your patience and understanding. I will bring you more books, but I can't say when.
