Back in 1992, I started writing a story that would transform my life. The Overlords have taken me on a journey for the better part of my life and 2026 marks the 20th Anniversary of the release of my first book, Legend of the Treasure. In May of 2006, I worked with iUniverse to self-publish my book, and years later brought all of my titles to Amazon, where they still are today.
The image above, created by the wonderful Emilie Martin, highlights another milestone -- my next Overlords book! I'm in the process of writing a two-part prequel to my Overlords storyline, and the Scynthians play a prominent role. This story takes place 1,000 years before Harrison's arrival, chronicling the happenings that occurred when Harrison began to read a magical manuscript. A new slate of characters, along with new adventures, await my Overlords fans. The book's release date is still TBD, but rest-assured, I've finished my first and second passes. 43 new chapters later and I'm well on my way!
