Ridiculously Inappropriate Magic & Avenger of Legends!
I’m nearly finished with Ridiculously Inappropriate Magic, the sequel to Inappropriate Magic! I’m also two-thirds of the way through writing Avenger of Legends, the 4th book in the Fate of Legends series. Both books should be published and available for Kindle and paperback and hardcover this fall.
After that, I’ll be starting on a brand-new book. I’m also debating on whether to write the third book in the Magic of Magic series, or to do the fifth book in the Runic series. So many books to write, so little time!

I’ve been hard at work for the past couple of months. The sequel to Inappropriate Magic, the sequel to Destroyer of Legends, the fifth book in the Runic series…it’s all under way! I’ve also had all three books in the Magic of Havenwood series narrated, which are now available on Audible.
I’ll keep you guys posted on my progress as always. I’ll be publishing two books this fall and two in the spring…and I can’t wait for you to read them!

Working on Runic War and Avenger of Legends!

I’ll keep you posted on my progress with each of them on my home page, as usual. I plan on having them both published in the Fall of 2020.
After that, I’ll be working on the sequel to Inappropriate Magic, as well as my first science fiction book!
New Book - Inappropriate Magic!
My newest book has just been published!
It’s an (inappropriate) fantasy comedy called “Inappropriate Magic.”
Destined to become a wizard & save the world, Chauncy got a job instead. 25 years later, destiny is pissed. And this time, it won’t take no for an answer!

Progress Update for Runic series and Fate of Legends series!
Having finished The Magic Redeemer and having nearly finished Inappropriate Magic, a fantasy comedy, I’ve now started working on two new books: Runic War, the 5th book in the Runic series, and Avenger of Legends, the 4th book in the Fate of Legends series!
It feels good to be back with Kyle and Kalibar and the rest of the gang, and of course Hunter and Vi. I’m planning on finishing both books up by September/October, and after that, I’ll work on a science fiction novel and probably the sequel to Inappropriate Magic.
Trying to keep busy during the pandemic! As an ER doctor, I find that keeping busy with multiple projects helps keep me sane.
I’ll keep you up-to-date on my progress as always!

I’m just a few weeks away from publishing another book. It’s a fantasy comedy called “Inappropriate Magic,” the first book in the Magic of Magic series. Here’s a tentative cover:

But when General Craven, an invincible living statue, is sent by the queen of the Pentad to arrest Gideon for painting without a license, Bella can only watch as Gideon is captured...and brought to the capitol of the Pentad to stand trial for his crimes.

Runic Series and Fate of Legends Series Hardcovers done!
I’ve finished creating and submitting the hardcovers for the Runic series and the Fate of Legends series. They should be available on Amazon in a few weeks!
I published them through Ingramspark, and had my cover designer, the amazing James Egan from Bookfly Design LLC, format the existing covers for hardcover versions. Once I build up some inventory, I should have them available for signed copies as well.
Now I’m working on the hardcovers for The Magic Collector and The Lost Gemini. And I’m halfway done with the sequel to The Lost Gemini…and halfway done with a totally new book (a fantasy-comedy)!
I’ve also got a daughter coming in February-ish. Her name will be Bellatrix Morticia Wood. My wife named her, and as you can tell, my wife is awesome. And a bit dark. Bellatrix inspired Bella, the main character of the Magic of Havenwood series.
Alrighty…back to work!
Hardcovers in the works!
I’m working on producing hardcovers for each of my books. Hopefully they’ll be available by the end of the year!
In other news, I’m about 40% done with the third book in the Magic of Havenwood series…and a standalone book as well. I’m planning on having them done by Spring of next year.
