Needle Ash: Complete Edition out now

It’s actually been out for a while, but I haven’t updated my general site in a while, so here is what’s up!

The Complete Needle Ash Story

Now you can get all three Needle Ash books in one volume (either digital or physical), fully updated with maps and illustrations from all three original volumes.

The original three books have also been updated, but will be phased out in 2019 to make way for the complete edition, which is, as a whole, part 2 of the Eternal Dream series. The third book in the series should be published in 2019, and will feature some familiar characters. Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed them. If you read all three books, please consider leaving a review for the complete edition.

Also, a new book named The Crown of Sight in a side-series of shorter books, called the Eternal Dream Legends series, will be released on March 22. You can pre-order it now on Amazon, or a variety of other retailers. Read a little bit about it on my fiction sight.

Available March 22

Tune your 8 string guitar like a Lute and move beyond djent

Most people associate the 8 string guitar with djent or micro-riffs (like Meshuggah or Dino Cazares), maybe even technical death metal (like Rivers of Nihil), but it can be much more than a low chugging metal machine. It can be tuned to produce a broader spectrum of sound by adding…
