— Giveaway Closed —

Congrats to the winners – Elizabeth, Snowdrop, and John Paul! And thanks to all who participated, dropped kind comments, and made this such a fun experience!

Hey Readers, it’s giveaway time! To celebrate a recent milestone for the Legends of Dimmingwood series (half a million copies now in the wild!) I’m giving fun prizes to three random readers. The first place winner will receive this fierce dragon claw, measuring roughly 5 inches long and made of resin and powdered marble.

Second and third place winners will receive these collectable fantasy trading cards, featuring characters from my upcoming Rule of Thieves: Legends of Dimmingwood, Book Six. To enter to win one of these prizes, drop any comment below. Please include the email address you can be reached at, if your name is selected.  Good luck!

* This giveaway is open to subscribers of my blog, newsletter, advance readers list,  Facebook page, Facebook group (The Thieves Den) and generally anyone who yearns for a good dragon claw.

Quick update: the print editions of Legends of Dimmingwood books 1-5 are getting cover makeovers! 🙂 Front covers remain the same but the backs are all new. Over the next few weeks, these colorful versions will be replacing the old, solid black covers. I hope readers enjoy the new look as much as I do!

The excellent Jared Blando has created this beautiful map of the fantasy world from the Legends of Dimmingwood and Catalysts of Chaos serieses. Locations to look out for:

* The forest of Dimmingwood and the city of Selbius, from Dimmingwood books 1 & 2 (Magic of Thieves and Betrayal of Thieves).

* The unlucky village of Hammond’s Bend from book 3 (Circle of Thieves) and the Skeltai wilderness/Black Forest from book 4 (Redemption of Thieves).

* There’s also Swiftsfell and the Desert of Vipers, from book 5 (Journey of Thieves).

* And to the very far right, readers of Mistress of Masks (Catalysts of Chaos, book 1) might recognize the Lythnian coast.

The 6th (and final) book of the Legends of Dimmingwood series has a cover. Behold, Rule of Thieves! Tentatively scheduled for release this Spring/Summer.

And to prove I’m hard at work on that, here’s a frustratingly tiny sneak peek at the outline for the work-in-progress. The parts I’m most excited about are outlined in red. (Yes, now I’m just being mean. 😛 ) In other news, I’m planning a fun giveaway to coincide with the upcoming release and I’ve got another multi-author bundle coming up soon, so keep an eye out for those!

I’m super excited to have been able to participate in yet another multi-author fantasy bundle! This has been an awesome group effort and I’ve loved interacting with all the authors involved – and let’s face it, putting together a book this massive is just fun!

Lots of thanks to Terah Edun and KJ Colt for making this happen and to Daniel Arenson, Megg Jensen, Annie Bellet, and Ed Robertson for being familiar faces. Lindsay Buroker, Brian Anderson and Joseph Lallo, I’ve long admired from afar (in a very uncreepy way), and Dima Zales, Anna Zaires, David Adams, Mande Matthews, and Jeff Gunzel I’m excited to have gotten to know better.

And now, we’re off…

Upon leaving Dimmingwood, Ilan thinks she has finally escaped the influence of her old enemy, the Praetor. But the secrets of her past catch up to her when she and her friends are trailed across the provinces by a mysterious assassin with a haunting connection to her childhood.

Seeking answers about her shadowy origins, she follows her roots to the people who can teach her about her family and her magic. But a personal tragedy soon sets her on a dangerous quest for justice. Along the way, she’ll have to question everything she thinks she knows, including her new relationship with Terrac. While battling dragons and being stalked by assassins, will Ilan recognize the return of a more insidious presence before it’s too late?
