Update on what's coming....

Just wanted to post an update on what I'm working on.

Book 4 - Magic of Heroes
I just finished the second draft this week and sent it to the editor. The cover is finished and looks amazing! I'm hoping for a release date of mid to late May.

Book 5
I've started the first draft and am hard at work on that right now. I haven't fully decided on a title, so I don't want to post that yet. I have a few front runners and will post it when I've made the final decision. This will be the book that changes everything for Cadan and his team, and I'm very excited to be writing this one.

DOMA Origins
I'm working on two more short stories. The first one is titled Deviant Behavior: Jude & Madison, which will detail their transfer to the Rocky Mountain Facility and beginnings of their new team. The story starts out in the Nursery, so there will be quite a few cameos from some of the other DOMA agents. The second one, Secrets in Stone: Gabe, will tell the story of his younger years and his first encounter with the Department. This will also give some insight into the world of fairies, which I have not gotten a chance to delve too far into so far in the series. Look for a few surprising cameos.

That only leaves Tomas and Hannah's short stories, but since those two tie into the events of Book 6, it may be later in the year before I begin working on those. I will post another update once I know more.

Book 3 - Rise of the Witch has arrived!

Book 3 - Rise of the Witch has finally arrived and is now available on Kindle. The paperback is not ready yet, but I'm working on it.

Tim did a great job on the cover, and I'm very pleased with it.

In this book, the mystery behind Nolan's defection from the Department deepens and the stakes become greater for Cadan and his friends. Hope you enjoy!

3 Short Stories released....

I have released the first of many short stories that will accompany the main series. You can read the stories without reading the series and can read the series without reading the short stories. However I would recommend the short stories as that will give you much more background for each of the characters.

Thanks to Tim for the amazing covers!

They are only available on the Kindle and are 99 cents. Stay tuned for more short stories!

Shrouded Island has arrived!

I have submitted the files for Shrouded Island and Amazon is working on getting the e-book posted. It should be available for purchase later this evening. The paperback edition should be available within the next few weeks.

As always, Onaje has outdid herself on the cover. She is a wonderful artist!

Hope you enjoy the second book of The Department of Magic. If you haven't ready Book 1 - Betrayal of Magic, it is available on www.amazon.com as an e-book or paperback.

Update on upcoming work

Book 2 - Shrouded Island 
The 2nd book will be released very soon - hopefully in 2 weeks.

Book 3 - Rise of the Witch
I just recieved the last round of editting back from my editor. Once the cover is finished and final formatting is done, it will be released. I'm hoping for mid-March.

Book 4 - Magic of Heroes
I'm nearly finished with the first draft and it's coming along quite nicely. I feel very good about the draft, and there should be minimal re-writes. I'm hoping for a late spring release.

My first two short stories, Winged Demon: Natalie & Darius and Circus Freak: Bryce should be released in mid-March. The third story Brujeria: Rafe, will be released more towards the end of March.

Once I get final covers for each, I will start posting them. March will be a busy month for the Department of Magic!

Update on what's coming!

It's been a while since I've posted on the blog, but I've been busy preparing the next wave of DOMA stories.

Shrouded Island (Book 2) - Onaje is finishing up on the cover and then it will be ready to go. I've seen it recently and it will look great!

I'm also going to release the first short stories from the companion series named DOMA: Origins. Each shotrstory will range in length of 30-60 pages and will explore one of Cadan's teammates. Initially I wanted to delve into the backstories in the series itself, but realized that I wanted to go into a lot of detail and doing that would slow the larger story down too much. I am very pleased with how they turned out.

I have a new set of covers for these that are currently in development. I will post them as soon as they are ready. Here are the first two that will be released:

Winged Demon: Natalie & Darius - This will be an expanded version of the story Natalie told Cadan in Betrayal of Magic. You will notice a difference in the version Natalie told and the one that actually happens. This inconsistency is intentional and will be addressed in Book 4.

Circus Freak: Bryce - This short story is one of my favorites!

There's a lot more coming soon after these, but I don't want to announce too much until I'm further along.

Thank you everyone for your patience!
