Emerald Haze RELEASED!
Emerald Haze, the ninth book in the series, is done and ‘released’! It has been a long, strange journey getting here. It tested me and the characters in ways never before experienced. It was intense…very intense. But it’s over now. It is ready for consumption. I imagine there will be much discussion from Emerald Haze, and it will all be due for it. It’s a very…character driven book, despite it also existing at the ‘apex’ of a certain quest. The apex is truly a character study, or rather, validation that this is the way… It’s quite beautiful, I think. And hopefully you will too!
Note: Print is still pending. I’m waiting on my Lulu print copy…I should get it really soon and that’ll be a separate post, assuming it looks OK, since everything is different this time around. More to come!

It is specifically related to Lana Zfhi’s claim that even if they tried to create another Zfhi Avatar from the genetic material of the dead, they would fail. So, in...
