At last, after what feels like an eternity, the latest chapter in the Bron & Calea saga is available for your eReader of choice. Having worked on the book since the initial planning stages in February 2014, I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished and hope you enjoy reading about the latest adventures of Bron, Calea, and Nyasha. (more…)
If you’re observant, you’ve noticed that we’ve tweaked the covers of several of our ebooks. We needed to do this to have the proper rights to sell our ebooks on Amazon and elsewhere. While we’re still working out a few background details, you can now find all our ebooks on Amazon, ready to download to your Kindle. If you want a free one, follow this link and get a free copy of The Fall of the House of Kyzer.
Also, we’ve finally received a completed copy of Bron & Calea #4, so you’ll have a new book to devour once it runs through our editing process. Things are moving. Stay tuned.
For your viewing pleasure, here are our updated covers:

As you wait for the release of New Wells Rising, our latest Jaysynn story, by Timothy Deal, (very, very soon!), I thought I’d remind you of some of our extra content. Our first five novellas from our two storylines have bonus stories that accompany them, collected in a volume titled Destinies Entwined. Though not strictly part of Bron and Calea’s or Jaysynn’s stories, they are glimmers that might give you insight into their world.
For instance, did you ever wonder how the Emperor of Thyrion could have six out of his seven children be Select when Selection is random and limited to a mere five percent of the populace? Nick Hayden’s short story “The Firstborn” answers that. And closely related is my own story (the only thing I’ve written for Children of the Wells, so you must read it!), “At Any Cost,” about a scientist forced into religion and the huge sacrifices she makes. (Remember the hermit’s cottage in The Doctor’s Assistant? This story answers how it got there and makes a few surprising connections.) In fact, I want you to read my story so much that I’ve recorded the beginning of it here to whet your appetite. If you like it, you can “buy” the ebook for whatever amount you wish (minimum donation is $0, you do the math) here.
Enjoy!

I read a book in college that advised authors to write minor/secondary characters in such a way that the characters acted as if the story was written about them. This, the book claimed, made them dynamic and interesting, thereby enhancing the story. (I’d say it might make them steal the scene, but I digress.)
Lomara is a bigworld full of stories. We knew from the get-go that the main Children of the Wells novellas wouldn’t be able to tell all of them. There were little nooks and crannies that could be filled but didn’t need to be. Recently on the CotW blog I compared this saga to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which includes blockbuster movies and short films. The main stories are in the blockbusters, but the short films complement the movies by filling in little gaps. This collection you’re about to read does exactly that—fill in the gaps. Consider it a gift to you, faithful readers, as part of our first anniversary celebration. Thanks for your support over the past year! (more…)

The Doctor’s Assistant, the second book in the Bron & Calea series, is now available as an epub, mobi, and PDF.
Bron and Calea are on the road to the only place Calea firmly believes still has magic: the megalopolis of Thyrion. Along the way, though, they need some patching up. In the small town of Averieom, they find assistance—and more than they bargained for.
Young Nyasha Cormorin has been assisting doctors in Averieom for years. But after the Cataclysm, she no longer feels any ties to the community, and she’s determined to leave. She’s going where she wants to go, and no one can stop her.
Download the book for free, here!
The first book of the story of Jaysynn, black sheep of the powerful Kyzer family, is now available as an ebook.
