The Sword and Laser discussion

Hey all, I've been lurking for a while. With two active young kiddos (5, 2, and one on the way!) I don't have as much time to get on here as I used to. I enjoy reading these threads, though!

I have two adventure/fantasy books out, and a third coming soon. All are part of a 4-book series (all 4 books are complete, just waiting on editing and cover art). The first two stand alone quite well, and can be read in any order. Technically, King's Warrior is first and Second Son is second, but they can be interchangeable.

I will be running Amazon Kindle countdown deals on both of these books beginning August 6.

Also, if the descriptions of either sounds particularly intriguing and you think you might be interested in a review copy, PM me and I can provide you with a free .mobi or .pdf copy in exchange for an honest review.

King's Warrior


When Dark Warriors invade her country, it is up to Princess Kamarie to seek out the legendary king’s warrior and request his aid. The feisty princess has spent her life dreaming of adventure and is thrilled to be tasked with such a quest. There’s only one thing that can dampen the princess’s excitement: Oraeyn. The squire views his task of protecting the princess on her journey as an inglorious assignment and makes no attempt to hide his disappointment.
Despite a rocky start to their journey – in which Oraeyn throws the obnoxious princess in a river just to get her to call him by name – the travelers soon learn that they must depend upon one another if they are to locate the man they have been sent to find.
The adventure merely begins when they meet Brant: a warrior with a mysterious past. He joins their cause readily, his heart smoldering with a vendetta Kamarie cannot completely understand. But whether she trusts him or not, the hope of their world rests on the steel he wears at his side….

Second Son


In an attempt to manipulate the future, a family and a nation are forced to decide between two brothers. Guided by a prophecy spoken hundreds of years before, the King and Queen of Llycaelon have set their course. Their goal: to fulfill the prophecy and save their nation from a dire fate.
Rhoyan has always understood and accepted his own role as second born and perpetual prince. He looks forward to the day when he will be a warrior in his older brother’s guard. When Rhoyan is sent on a quest filled with unimaginable danger, nobody anticipates the greater repercussions.
As Rhoyan journeys far across the seas on his appointed trial, he will battle creatures of legend, suffer shipwreck, endure captivity, and lay claim to a fallen star. When tragedy strikes, Rhoyan must struggle to return home believing his quest has failed. However, the home he left no longer awaits him and the true test of his strength and character has only just begun.
Long before Aom-igh needed a champion, Llycaelon had a Second Son.
