New Release! A Talisman Arcane

Posted on by

A Talisman Arcane starts off a new series that follows teenage Lealle as she inspires the reincarnation of the Prince’s Djinn—an archaic group of troubleshooters who find and fix dangerous problems that no one else can solve.

This first book involves a lodestone, so it could be considered the latest installment of the Lodestone Tales. But the sequels to A Talisman Arcane will dive into perils created by adversaries of more deliberate malevolence.

A Talisman Arcane is available as both an ebook and a trade paperback.

*     *     *

The mansion on Balard Square stands empty. Dirt grimes its marble columns. Cracks mar its once pristine walls. No one enters or exits.

Rumor says no one lives there. Neighbors ignore the property, glad it’s merely shabby, not derelict. Brash youths pretend a witch makes it her home, a wicked witch who hates children.

All of them—rumor, neighbors, and youths—are wrong.

Fleeing a ragged horde of boys, young Lealle discovers the truth of the history-haunted house.

She hopes to keep that truth secret.

But her silence threatens disapproving neighbors, trespassing bullies, and one gentle soul in desperate need of a lifeline.

Magic and coming of age in the tradition of Patricia C. Wrede’s Mairelon the Magician.

The Tally Master in Paperback!

Posted on by

The trade paperback edition of The Tally Master is now out and making its way through the distribution chain. It’s currently available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Soon you’ll be able to find it at the Book Depository, Powell’s, and many other bookstores as well.

The book is really lovely, if we do say so ourselves. 😉

An illustration of the tower of Belzetarn graces the front matter, while the appendices include maps, floor plans, and sketches of just what those ingots counted by Gael look like.

* * *

Seven years ago, reeling from a curse in the wake of battle, Gael sought sanctuary and found it in a most perilous place.

The citadel of a troll warlord—haunt of the desperate and violent—proves a harsh refuge for a civilized mage. But Gael wields power enough to create an oasis of order amidst the chaos.

Now master of the metals that flow to the citadel’s weapon forges, Gael rules his tally room unchallenged, until he discovers a theft within its vaults.

Gael loves the quiet certainty of black ink tally marks on smooth parchment, but his search for the thief leads to a maze of unexpected answers, putting his hard-won sanctuary—and his life—at risk.

Set in the Bronze Age of J.M. Ney-Grimm’s North-lands, The Tally Master brings mystery and secrets to epic fantasy in a suspenseful tale of betrayal and redemption.
