Celebrating Pride Month may be the most godforsaken virtue signal in the history of Western Civilization. So I created a same-sex couple the Left would despise. Terrian Chronicles is the biggest “shitshow” of a series that blatantly targets the Left and Leftist institutions. From COVID conspiracies to history departments telling a sanitized version on the “story…
Readers have likened Terrian Chronicles to Harry Potter, so why not list each major character from the first four books and their HP equivalents? While I didn’t intentionally create each character (or any, really) with a Harry Potter-equivalent in mind, it wasn’t hard to make connections. Some were obvious, and others took more digging, but…
Tarja Titan: Sophomore Year, Book III in Terrian Chronicles, is a Gryffindor/Slytherin-heavy book with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff acting as the moral stabilizers. The school lockdown, security-state atmosphere, secret factions, and competing “greater good” arguments force almost every character in Tarja Titan: Sophomore Year to reveal whether they value courage, ambition, loyalty, knowledge, or control most. Many…
Forbidden love is one of the most distinguished tropes across genres. In one paranormal fantasy, it reaches a ninth level of hell. Warning: The following content contains spoilers for Tarja Titan: Sophomore Year. I won’t claim “no one has never done anything remotely similar,” because fiction has plenty of broad relatives: enemy-to-lover, killer-to-redeemed-ally, resurrection romance,…
Secrets and Demons Near the Junction is a dark short story of a girl who discovers her uncle is part of an elitist Elemental cult. I wrote Secrets and Demons Near the Junction not long after it became clear someone close to me was more interconnected through sports, business, and politics than I previously thought all the…
Cursed Mage is my flagship series starter, but it wouldn’t have stood out if it wasn’t for my original paranormal fantasy novel. For months, I wanted to dive into my backlist and improve its existing content. Unfortunately, being chained in front of my computer in my own home at a dreaded day job I worked…
I have not one but two Harry Potter-inspired book series. But the “other” series fuses genres like you wouldn’t believe, rendering it a true mash-up. If a few sticklers read Tarja Titan, they’d immediately scream “Harry Potter.” Hell, a lot of reviewers caught “Harry Potter vibes” when they first read and reviewed Titan back in 2022. Some even…
Braden Hawk is the Sirius Black of the Terrian Chronicles. But he might just snag the reprieve Black was never lucky enough to get. Note: I’m going through all of my original short stories, novelettes, and novellas four years after I first wrote and released them. Once they’re all updated, you’ll know, and you’ll have a plethora of…
The mysterious Planet Nine has baffled scientists for years. But for creators, it’s a source of inspiration, even in the fantasy genre. Something out there is pulling the strings. We’ve charted the solar system down to the dust. Or so we thought. But strange patterns in the outer reaches suggest we’ve missed something big—literally. An…
Tesla High School probably exists somewhere, but not to my knowledge. That said, it’s based on a real-life school in my paranormal fantasy series. I recently wrote about how powerful an old high-school football game program from 2005 remains to this day and related it to my Arcane Elemental Academy series. It packed a real…
No other book series I’ve written strikes a chord more than the small-town fantasy elements shown in the Terrian Chronicles. While the Renegades Epic spans five worlds and shows us at least a dozen foreign lands, one hits home. My small-town fantasy books, Liza Fury, and Liza Fury: Catch 22. Every time I go back…
The Terrian Chronicles is full of low fantasy elements, but one plot twist takes the series into an epic, albeit darker, direction. The Terrian Chronicles series begins in the quiet corners of the Upper Ohio Valley, but there’s nothing ordinary about what lies beneath the surface. In books like Liza Fury: The Discovery and Catch…
