So I have moved very quick with editing and dealing with Threads that Bind the Tempest, so I can safely say the release date is 27/3/2016. 27^1/3 = 3. Threes. Ha. I chose that date on purpose. Pre order will be up in about two weeks or so. It's going to be awesome. GET HYPE.

This is a very belated post. I'm not good at reminding myself to take pictures or do certain things, so sometimes things take time. So for Christmas I was given some awesome series swag based on the big four, aka Cyclone, King, Spellbinder, and Farrco, made by a very loving relative.

I'm getting excited for the new year. Books to be written and edited. Very optimistic. Anyway. Onward to 2016 and beyond!

Probably a post that you have all been waiting for. A character interview with the glorious, amazing Evil King Cyclone. This is set after the Dimensional Incident (aka How to Stop Wildfire) and following the formation of the Trinity and the One, but before the events of Harmonic Waves. So basically spoilers for HTSW, specifically the last chapter, but none for HW. Interviewer: Shalaeyah Cyclone: Shalaeyah. Bask in my glorious presence and persona. How would you like your, admittedly famous...
