With tomorrow being Father's Day it has me reflecting on how fathers appear in my stories. One of my favorite lines in Veiled Sun is Grandpa McIntyre remembering his son Alverson who died getting him secret intel on Project Alexandria.

ABARROS The site of a battle in Libertias’ war for sovereignty over the region from Ecthelowall.  Much of the town had been rebuilt in stone quarried in Ecthelowall and ported over as reparation for the costly conflict. Very little had transpired within the town of note since, and so its greatest point of interest... Continue Reading →
     This week I'm sharing a letter that sheds some light onto the shadowy past of Quest of Fire protagonist Jason.
