The purpose of this article is to help those authors who are just starting out. Experienced authors who’ve been publishing for some time may find this information redundant or basic.

It’s always encouraging to learn from more advance authors, but I’ve always wanted to hear from fellow authors who’re just starting out.
As a way to celebrate the release of Archamethyst’s Secret, I’ve decided to run a sale on earlier books in the series.
I found this helpful to know, I wanted to share. I’ll keep this updated on my website monthly.
Set aside several hours for setting up your Dragon. Much of the time will be your PC working without you, but it will bog down your computer to where you won’t get much else done.

Sabetha and I are continuing with the podcast, and so far all the feedback has been great. We were asked to make it more of us having a conversation and less structured. We did that for this latest episode.
We talk about what it’s like to publish, our efforts to spread reviews, a special giveaway contest we’re hosting for our Discord Channel, and some funny current events.
In this episode Sabetha and I share more about ourselves and our vision for Aconite Cafe.

My main interest is writing what my readers want to read next. I’ll admit I find it amusing that both of the side stores are leading right now. I take great pride in knowing that I write compelling side characters.
An orphaned boy, uncontrollable magic, and a destiny to recover a nation’s honor.
Ren survived life at an orphanage, but the world taught him some harsh lessons.
His aspiration to become a sorcerer looked brighter, until he found himself in a crate. With his magic unreliable, Ren must learn to rely on others.
But, in a world of thieves and cutthroats, how will he see the truth behind their masks?

Or will his naivety doom him and the world?
