Happy New Year! I hope you had a restful and enjoyable break (assuming you had a break, of course), and I am wishing you a prosperous 2025. In case you missed it, I’ve got big plans for 2025. I want to release the entire Blood Veil Series (so far) all at once in the middle …
This is my final newsletter for the year. And what a year it has been! I’ve written hundreds of articles this year for the South African media, published the Kat Drummond Ten Book Box Set, the Cindy Giles Complete Series Box, and the Legends of the Cataclysm anthology. And while Warpmancer continued to falter, I …
We’re a third of the way through December and I already feel like it’s Christmas! I’ve been wrapping up my work for the year and getting ready for a restful break so I can charge into 2025 at full tilt. I’m planning an ambitious writing pace for Blood Veil, aiming for a mid-year release with …
We had quite a big scare this past week. On Monday, we had to rush little Pippin the Pomeranian to the emergency vet. Being not even 11 weeks old at that point, and a smaller breed, he’s very vulnerable to losing fluids fast. Not to mention in his blood sugar levels. The vet was as …
This last weekend, I launched a surprise book. Legends of the Cataclysm is an anthology containing 13 of my Warpmancer and Katverse short stories, plus two miscellaneous stories. But not just that. I’ve included the first eight chapters of Beyond the Blood Veil to the anthology. That means that you eager beavers who’ve read the …

I’ve got a weekend surprise for you! I’ve compiled all my short stories into a single, action-packed and magically charged anthology called Legends of the Cataclysm. The collection contains 13 short stories from the Katverse and Warpmancer universe. But I didn’t stop there. I’ve included the first eight-chapters of Beyond the Blood Veil in this …
Yaw! I’m bone tired. Drained as, well, a drained battery. Creative, eh? Forgive me for my lack of poeticism. Not that I’ve ever been much of a poet. Let’s just say I’m kaput. We’re currently in the throes of potty-training Pippin the Pomeranian. He’s doing very well! Almost ten weeks old and already he’s (mostly) …

I’ve been busy! Very busy. Since I last spoke to you, our little Pomeranian pup (Pippin) has gotten really big. Well, bigger than he was. This has been matched with heightened exuberance, and enhanced curiosity for our cat (Mango the Flamepoint Siamese, and yes, he’s the inspiration for Fredward). Mango has been temporarily brave, coming …

I’ve been very busy over the past few months. If you follow me on social media or my newsletter, you’ll be all caught up. But just in case you don’t subscribe to any of my channels, or maybe missed the post, this blog post is for you. The planned re-release of Warpmancer has been postponed …
Read more “Beyond the Katverse & Warpmancer: Upcoming New Series”
The oldest of my readers will all know a little bit about my long love-hate relationship with the Warpmancer Series. Starting out as “The Terra War Saga” and even a standalone called “The Trooper”, what is now called the Warpmancer Saga has gone through many iterations since I first envisioned it as a young, bright-eyed …
