WIP: The Fallen
The Fallen is a dark fantasy novel that I'm currently about halfway through. The second time. It was originally a short story (roughly 55k words). Everyone who read it, admittedly my friends, loved it. What I found most interesting was that everyone had a different favorite character. For reasons beyond what I originally envisioned. Was … Continue reading WIP: The Fallen
The Big Bad – Draen Do’Gra (part 2)
Draen was originally a drow, or dark elf. And for the longest time, that was how I envisioned him. That was before I started true world crafting, and not world copying. Back then I wrote my stories and games in a modified Forgotten Realms campaign world. My love of drow led to Draen being one … Continue reading The Big Bad – Draen Do’Gra (part 2)
The Rising Darkness
I am quite proud of my Duir'Aion. It is a vibrant world filled with peoples of all kinds. From the noble Shirans of the kingdom of Cheshire, to the naval supremacy of the minotaurs of Maelthas, to the xenophobic undersea kingdoms of the sea elves, the entire world pulses with life. And violence. And death. … Continue reading The Rising Darkness

Tale of a Minor Chord is back from its "final" revision. I'm pretty excited. Got great feedback from my editor. I am quite honored to have a wonderful person to work with. I feel like my writing goals have kicked up a notch by doing so. So Tale of a Minor Chord should be available … Continue reading On to the next!
Chord’s World Tour – Martyr Compact (3 of 3): Protean Dragons
The Martyr Compact was an attempt by the dragon emperors to maintain their empire in the face of a three way war with the dwarves and the elves. They hoped that with the sacrifice of a clan, the humanoids would be too weakened to want to continue the war. In that respect they were right. … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Martyr Compact (3 of 3): Protean Dragons
The Big Bad – Draen Do’Gra (part 1)
Every setting needs The Big Bad. Not a big bad, THE! Star Wars, Darth Vader was a big bad. He was awesome, but the Emperor was The Big Bad (though he went out like a chump). Harry Potter? Voldemort. Breakfast Club? Richard Vernon. See, you need a TBB. So my world has been in constant … Continue reading The Big Bad – Draen Do’Gra (part 1)
Chord’s World Tour – Martyr Compact (2 of 3): Ash Dwarves
During the Triad War, when the dwarf and elf kingdoms fought the dragon imperial forces and each other for supremacy of Duir’Aion, the dragon overlords realized they had a problem.

Worse the sun god Aeruus had bestowed them both the power of the paladin as well … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – Martyr Compact (2 of 3): Ash Dwarves

Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (part 1)
I recently received an invitation from a being known as the Elder, regarding the Forest of Souls. As a collector of stories this one was a prize I had long wanted. Besides, you don't turn down anyone who has the audacity to name himself the Elder. Doing that will shorten your lifespan considerably. The Elder … Continue reading Chord’s World Tour – The Forest of Souls (part 1)
