On the Death of Magic

How long has it been since magic flowed freely through our world, making wonders and miracles beyond Human comprehension possible? Strange creatures roamed wherever they wished, beautiful and terrible. Some magicians provided aid to those who needed it, while others used their abilities to selfishly gain power… and still others used theirs for profit.

All the Swag for Blades Reforged

Almost a year since we looked at swag for Lost Blades, here we are. Still on the internet! Success!

Oh, and we have the swag for Blades Reforged! Which will be out on September 12 of this year, exactly one year after the launch of Lost, creating a beautiful circle. I love circles. They are wonderful. Very…. circuitous.

The Primordial Deities

March 12, 1762 - Concerning the Gods pt. 4

The Primordial Deities.

The last, and the first.

Tadurin and Hades were the first of their kind to come into existence, so perhaps it is only fitting that we end with them.

Ream

Some of you may have heard me mention Ream before, or at least seen me post about it somewhere. You very likely have no idea what it is — it’s a pretty new platform, launching publicly in May of 2023. Basically, it’s like Patreon, but specifically for authors.

On Vampires

By Aleeah Cross

I was recently sent this article by a friend. It was published in The Journal of Empire History late last year, and he thought it would amuse me. It does not.

When you think of the greatest threats our beloved Empire has had to deal with in the last a thousand years, what do you think of?

Here we are. April 1st. The first day of the second quarter of 2024. A Monday.

Can I just say how exciting it is to me that the first day of three of the quarters this year are on Mondays? I know, I know; weird things excite me.

ANYWAY.

Broken Blades Teasers!

I can’t believe it — as of last Friday, I’ve published two books! Two!

I won’t lie, I’m exhausted, especially since I had two more books - Colors of Magic and Blades Reforged - go on preorder at the same time. So for this blog post, I thought I’d do a roundup of all the Broken Blades teasers.

Hello, everyone! Happy New Year!

Fourth quarter was a wild ride, and I’m super excited for 2024! I have three books that I expect to publish this year, and I can’t wait to share them with you all! But first let’s take a look at what got done — and what didn’t — over the holiday season.

The Distant Trinity

The Distant Trinity

The “Distant” Trinity.

Named such because of their association with celestial bodies and the fact that, to be quite frank, they do far less meddling than many of the other gods. In theory, at least. I personally find it far more likely they are just better at covering their tracks.

Let’s talk about Campfire

You may have noticed that at the end of October I started mentioning that Lost Blades was available on Campfire. Your first thought was probably “What on earth is Campfire?”, possibly followed closely by “Why is she publishing Lost Blades on a site I’ve never heard of?”

I suppose the next logical group to cover is the Three.

Possibly the group with the largest following in modern times, the Three go by a number of different names in different parts of the world.
