The Storm King

She was the Storm King’s bride. A summer princess banished from the sun. A prize offered up in a desperate bid for peace. And now, a servant to the enemy.

Valla Sunstar was offered up in marriage to the Storm King to end the war between their nations. But when an avalanche rids her of her escorts en route to her intended, Valla takes fate into her own hands. When she arrives at her betrothed’s fortress alone, she pretends to be the late princess’s servant instead of his future wife.

Rodrick Fjallgard doesn’t want to wed the daughter of his oldest enemy, but he’ll do it to keep his people from starving. But when his betrothed shows up at his hearth claiming to be a lady’s maid, he decides to play along with her deception.

Valla needs to survive until winter ends with her disguise intact. Rodrick is determined to make her confess. Neither planned to lose their hearts in the process.

Been waiting on the print edition to buy? Your wait is over!  You can buy it now on Amazon here!  I’m working on a hardback version and getting the paperback up on other retailers. The end of the month is always hectic at my day job, but I’m hacking away at the to-do list lately....

Subnautica: Below Zero

Subnautica: Below Zero’s launch out of early access is May 14th. I’ve been eagerly waiting for it since I finished the original Subnautica game. It satisfies my urges to compulsively sort minerals into storage lockers and craft a glass-walled undersea base in which I can hatch creature eggs, grow plants for my bioreactor to power...

Well-Quoted Part 2

-Quotes 50 to 100- I’m obsessive about writing down quotes. Funny, inspiring, smart-ass quotes. Some are aphoristic fridge magnet fare, some are well-phrased pieces of dialogue I aspire to. Here are those quotes, unearthed from the OneNote labyrinth fifty at a time. We’ll be here a while. If you know any of the missing sources,...
