Let’s get to the big news first: the audiobook for Honor’s Price (Fury of a Rising Dragon, book 2) just launched today!

It’s narrated by the accomplished Gary Furlong, from Ireland.

I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking about when more audiobooks are going to come out, but unfortunately audiobooks take a long time to produce—especially for fantasy epics, which is the kind I write. The best thing you can do to help speed the process along is to get the distributors to take notice, which means leaving an honest review of any of my audiobooks on audible.

On to other matters.

I hope the wait for book 3 in the Fury of a Rising Dragon series is not too excruciating. I’ll be releasing the title of the work in the coming months. I’m also still on track for an early December launch, and am having a blast editing the book. It’s a big adventure with a lot of new character development and a whole new storyline that’s going to take things in an incredible direction. Augum’s main challenge in this work will be to control his temper while stepping into the shoes of a true leader. The girls too will have their own unique challenges.

I’m quite excited about where things are headed with this series, and have big plans for our intrepid trio—as well as a unique combination of spellcasting and story I simply cannot wait for you to experience.

There’s been a lot of mail in general from you happy folks (I post the “best-of” here on this site). You’ve been amazingly supportive and understanding of how long these stories take to crank out and get right. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every one of you :)

All my best to you and those you love, and happy listening to Honor’s Price!

P.S. I added a recent photo of me inducting Honor’s Price into the local downtown library here in Victoria, BC.

The Arinthian Line series (complete): Arcane Riven Valor Clash Legend The Fury of a Rising Dragon series (complete): Burden's Edge Honor's Price Mercy's Trial Champion's Wrath I grew up on Dragonlance and probably spent way too much time playing role-playing games. Then came the video games. But then, Nintendo was life in Toronto of '86. As a matter of fact, much of my youth could be considered "wasted" exploring escapism of one form or another. Now I'm a full-time author living in British Columbia, Canada. I have a wife who taught me what it means to love someone unconditionally. Buddha, my grumpy but rumpled-with-love cat, likes to keep watch from a Lego castle near my desk. (Update: said Lego castle has long been dismantled. Now she basks under a sun lamp). I suppose my favorite sagas are Harry Potter, Ender's Game, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and Game of Thrones. I also love true-life survival tales like Into Thin Air, Shadowdivers, and Perfect Storm. As for movies, I regularly re-watch Bladerunner, Star Wars, Highlander, Aliens, Limitless, Edge of Tomorrow, Interstellar, Lost in Translation, and Margin Call. But I've been most inspired by Harry Potter. Seriously, because if it hadn't been for HP, I'd never have dared. I simply stood on the shoulders of a giant. Thank you for writing that story, Joanne Rowling, it was extremely re-readable. I can only hope to capture my readers' imagination as you have captured mine. When I was a kid, I dreamed I could spread my arms as wings, jump off the ground, and fly. My head was in the clouds (and in many ways, still is). It would be fair to say that my love of fantasy began then, steadily refined by movies, video games, and cozy books. As for me, I enjoy talking to my readers, so if you read one of my books, you're welcome to shoot me an email at severbronny@gmail.com. Throw me a question, comment, or just say hello. I blog at severbronny.com when the mood strikes me, and I'm on social media now and then. I don't publish too often, but you can subscribe to my newsletter to receive a notification when I do release new work (newsletter signup is at severbronny.com/contact). (I was also a musician at one time, having released three albums with my industrial-rock band Tribal Machine.) When all is said and done, I know how fortunate I am to be a full-time author. I think about it often--especially when I recall what it was like working the grind. Thus I humbly thank each and every reader for supporting my work.

  1. I’ve been looking on all of the internet for a hard cover version of the Arinthian Line series and I can not find it anywhere! This is my most favorite series and it would be awesome to have a hard cover set. Does one exist or are they all soft covers?

    1. Hi, Joey!

      Glad you’re enjoying my work. This question comes up a lot, and I’ve been mulling over doing hardcovers. For that matter, I was thinking of completely rebranding the covers for the first series, maybe hiring an illustrator to “paint” them. Ideally, it’d be somebody who has read the work. It’s just a matter of putting the energy into it, and most of my energy is taken up with writing the next book in the trio’s adventures.

      2. Hello! Speaking of drawing, a couple months ago you had asked us for things we would like to see. I answered with a drawing of the characters as described in the book. You responded saying you thought it was a good idea but I never saw anything. I would LOVE to see a sketch or something of the whole gang and even Grandmama Stone living her best life in Ley

        1. Yeah this one’s still on the to-do list, it’s just that I’ve been knee-deep in the editing stages of Mercy’s Trial, so haven’t had much energy for much else (it’s an intensive process as-is, exacerbated by the book being quite complex). I’m not sure if I want to run a fan contest for this so that we get a wide variety of interpretations of what they look like, or if I should hire an illustrator to depict how I feel they look like.

          One way or another, this will happen in due time :)

  2. Just caught up. I’m both super psyched there’s a book 4 and upset. I hate the waiting and anticipation. To be honest when I read the very first book in this series it wasn’t my favorite, but I was going to force myself to finish. Somewhere along the journey I realized how amazingly captivated I was. These books are EASILY in my top 5 all time favorites. And I read a lot so that’s huge! Stoked for December and the coming adventures! Keep up the wonderful work.

  4. Hello. I like the romance in it mainly. It is good and I hope there is a lot in this coming book!

      1. I recently read a book where in the prologue the author said a certain chapter was just a chapter with NSFW content and not important to the story, so if you weren’t a fan of the romance you could skip past it. Would you ever consider doing something like this?

      2. Hi Jack. There will be no need since there will not be any NSFW romance in the book (NSFW means Not Safe For Work for others reading). Everything on that front will continue to stay wholesome.

  5. This made me take a wild dash to amazon to see how I missed getting book 3 when it released lol. Did you mean to say book 3 in your post?

    1. I did make a mistake, yes, and promptly fixed it. Confused that part with the fact that it was June 4th (the number 4 was on my mind as I wrote it). Sorry about that!!!
