When I created my Dark Athyx Series, I never thought I would be going back and writing prequels. When I did, new characters were introduced that readers fell in love with as much as the originals. This dilemma spawned my current project; a stand-alone book that takes place between books 3 and 4. It is a bit different, where the focus is not on the gods, bu rather some side characters and a few cameo appearances of some primary characters. This story is meant to show how those who were not known heroes, but still played vital roles in the timeline. You will definitely cry a lot. Just ask m biggest fan, m wife!

At first I was not motivated to be an "Indie Author." I pitched my series over a decade ago and I received multiple offers. Not knowing what was to come, I took what i thought was the best. My first two books were signed, under a seven-year contract with a major publisher, who never paid me my royalties. The details of the contact were so specific,lawyers did not want to touch it. This, and the fact that I had to change so much about my story due to their opinion of some content that has been considered acceptable in today's social order. Once i got my rights back, I used my original story-line, without the changes desired by the publisher. This is what led me to becoming an Indie Author. I wanted my story to be "My Story."
