"Inheritance of a Sword and a Path is a treasure trove of fantasy, eye-popping adventures, lead characters imbued with morality, humility, strength and humor. Besides the sword play and wizardry, what struck me as remarkable was the page space given to accomplished, highly effective women on equal footing in terms of contribution to the story and to their society as men. This saga opener had me turning pages, reading way (way) past my bedtime, and definitely curious for the next installment. Pure fun!" --Lori Crever, host. "30 Minutes with the Author" "This book was great. I was deeply surprised at the depth of character found in the villains, especially Savannah," says Erica P. "...As for Mel, his character brings the humour in dark situations, and this was greatly appreciated...If I was to say anything, however, the most interesting person was Katressa. Not because of what she is, but because of how she grows as a character throughout the book." Erica finished her comments in this way, "I am earnestly awaiting the sequels, and I hope they arrive soon. I'll be standing on my toes until they do." "I am truly enjoying your book. You have a gift for drawing the reader into the story, letting us see everything the characters are seeing. The details in the story let you see textures of the armor, smell the aromas drifting from the inns or campfires. The battle scenes are incredibly detailed and exciting, giving the reader a sense of actually watching as the scene unfolds before them. And of course, your humor is woven into the fabric of the story at the most opportune times!...When is the next one going to be ready?"...S.C. "...May very well have been one of the best...books I ever had the pleasure to read...the book that you have written is truly a masterful piece of art. I know that you have the skill to be an extremely successful writer as you have most certainly proved that you are capable of penning with the best...One thing that I absolutely loved about your book was the character development. You didn't give everything about a character up at first glance, and even if it seemed that you had, you would surprise me a couple chapters later with a subtle revelation as to the moral composition of the characters...The internal struggle that Trestan had throughout the book lent him a noble character and made him more human, and not just some moral robot doing what was right...Above all else, your book was amazing."...Nathan H.

peaceful Covenant to end the wars they raged on mortal soil. Now that
the realm has recovered, several endeavor to inflame old grudges. This

plots. Four

paladin. What he doesn’t realize is that the quest will begin amidst

Muster of Heroes (Book 3 of 3, The Earthrin Stones)
Book Teaser: Savannah had nothing but malice in her expression as she hovered above Petrow. “The Covenant didn’t stop the Godswars; it just changed the rules.” Now Revwar and Savannah have the relics in their possession, and a secret army assembled from a multitude of misled believers. Together, it seems unlikely that they will be stopped. Trestan and Cat have discovered the nature of these terrible weapons, but they have to find their way out of the endless forests of Eyldiian. Rallying against the impossible numbers and the weapons from the old war, the original Companions of the Relics reunite to defend their realm. All will suffer and some will die as they race to defend a fortress on the frontiers of civilization. Unbeknownst to its defenders, an army larger than anything that has been gathered in over a millennium marches toward it with fanatic zeal. Failure could have higher stakes than the razing of that portion of Dhea Loral. The gods may elect to discard the peace-binding Covenant…forcing the realm into a second catastrophic Godswars.
