Launch Party Co-Hosts Introduced!

If you missed the announcement for The Shadow Guard's Release and Launch Party, you can find it here.

Release day for the much-anticipated final book in the Aerenden series is TOMORROW, March 27, but this day isn't all about me, or Nick, Caide, and Meaghan. It's about having a good time with fellow readers, enjoying each other's company, and making new friends.

Some of the new friends I'd like to introduce you to are fellow authors. Each one will be co-hosting the party for an hour, introducing you to their writing, and giving away (yet even more) prizes. Be sure to check them out at the times below. All times are Eastern.

3:00 PM - Alexandra Penn
A fellow DC-Author, now transplanted to Iowa, Alexandra Penn writes fantasies that are influenced by her childhood adventures in the Smithsonian museums. Her current sci-fi/fantasy, about a 14-year-old who chooses to enroll in a Lunar University exchange program despite the risks, can be found as a serial on Patreon, in print on Barnes & Noble's website, and through her own website. Alex also serves as Director at The Writers' Rooms (www.thewritersrooms.org), an organization that aims to foster community-based knowledge and support for writers by creating virtual rooms related to their genres for congretation.

You can learn more about her at www.alexandrapenn.com.


4:00 PM - Michael Koogler
Michael Koogler, a prolific author with 7 novels (plus 1 coming soon) and 2 anthologies available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, lives in Iowa with his wife and children. His highly regarded novels dip into science-fiction and cyber thrillers, as well as epic fantasy and apocalyptic adult genres.

These Amazon 5-star average YA sci-fi/fantasy adventures feature dragons and an undersea world, and they are rated for ages 9 and up. She also hand draws and publishes mandala coloring books and educational activity books for children, and she is a marine biologist in her spare time (as if she weren't impressive enough).

Northern Virginia Author Event Announcement


Saturday, October 15, 2016 I will be doing a reading and book signing at Brew LoCo in Lansdowne, VA. Fellow local author Dr. Nasser Barkhordari will be joining me. Dr. Barkhordari's book The Golden Apples is a retelling of a Persian fable, written in both English and Farsi. It sounds like a fascinating book, so I can't wait to meet him. You can find more information about his book here.

This event is part of Brew LoCo's "Read Local" series, which highlights local authors in the Northern Virginia/Washington DC area. Brew LoCo serves food, coffee, tea, wine, and beer, so come raise a glass or a cup with me and enjoy great conversation :).
