Augum, Bridget and Leera news:

Three big pieces of news to share:

NEWS ITEM #1: I’m excited to announce the narrator for the imminently forthcoming audiobook Whispers of Wrath (Arcane Legacy, book 1), featuring our illustrious trio Augum, Bridget and Leera. The audiobook is expected to launch any day now (just waiting for final approval from the review process).

And without further ado, that narrator is . . . *drum roll* . . .  Emily Waters!

Emily is an actor and voice-over artist based out of London, England. Emily’s theatre work includes the Olivier award-winning show The Play That Goes Wrong, as well as Bleak Expectations, and Spy Movie: The Play. Previous narrative credits include The Actress series, by Kimberly J.M. Wilson, and Hunt the Night, by Jason Wright and Alan Gamboa. Emily also works as a motion-capture artist, and has recently wrapped on a major video game to be released in 2026. She is delighted to have worked on Whispers of Wrath, and has enjoyed every moment of bringing this book to listeners, and looks forward to capturing the essence of the whole series.

👂 Here’s a Google Drive link to an audio mp3 sample of the first chapter of Whispers of Wrath so that you can hear Emily at work! The audiobook will launch on Audible any day now, so keep your eyes peeled 👀.

NEWS ITEM #2: I recently finished the first draft of book two in the Arcane Legacy saga, and the book has now entered the editing stages! You guys are seriously going to love this book as the trio go on an epic sea adventure (it’s a book I’ve always wanted to write too)!

NEWS ITEM #3: You remember that contest I ran a few months back, the question being, “Who is your favorite character in any of my books and why?” Well here’s a picture of the winners (chosen at random) and their prize (Jay and Wesley, shared with permission):

Stay tuned as there’s loads more to come. All my best to you and those you love,

Flames of Stone launches!

I am honored and excited to announce that Flames of Stone (Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, book 3) has launched! The paperback is live, and the audiobook is coming April 30th 2024.

It’s hard to express the feeling of getting this book out there, as it’s been a long road. I am proud of the three years of work it took to get here. Thank you so much for your amazing letters and support.

-Sever

P.S. The ebook for Prodigy of Thunder, the first book in the saga, is on sale for only $0.99 until December 14th. If you know someone who you think might enjoy the trilogy, consider sending them the link. Thank you 🙂

P.P.S. For those wanting to support my work on social media, I place at your disposal the media kit to Flames of Stone (especially check out the cool animated GIF). Consider posting the image featuring the entire trilogy. (I do my own social media and am not very good at it, so your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.)

Time for a reread!

Rereading the book that started it all: Arcane (The Arinthian Line, book 1). It’s in preparation to edit what I anticipate to be the last book of The Chronicles of Anna Atticus Stone, on schedule to launch in December. Got to make sure all the world and character lore lines up. Have to say, the adventure still holds up! :D

Four pieces of exciting news


1. ILLUSTRATOR: I’ve hired an illustrator to start illustrating the trio/other characters for you, perhaps some scenes (if it works out, that is, and you guys enjoy his style). I asked the fan-run discord server to conduct a snap poll as to who you wanted done first, and the overwhelming consensus was . . . drum roll, please . . . Leera Jones! A great choice to start. So I’ve put together a dossier along with a smattering of quotes she said (which some of you kindly helped me collect), and will send it along to the illustrator today.

2. STORE COMING SOON: At long last, after years of questions as to when it will happen, my wife and I are putting together a small print-on-demand store. I’m hoping that these illustrations, along with others, will be put on some merchandise. Hopefully this merch will lead into some really cool and unique stuff that you guys have been asking for for years. More news on all that soon.

3. AUDIOBOOKS SALE: Two out of the four audiobooks for the Fury of a Rising Dragon series are half price for a limited time. You can snag Burden’s Edge here and Champion’s Wrath from the same site here.

4. CHRONICLES OF ANNA ATTICUS STONE, BOOK 3: Anna’s third book, which I will release the title of soon, is coming along swimmingly. Already 140,000 words in. It’s a family-oriented plot that steadily thickens, with one grand adventure in the latter third of the book. As usual when writing, my characters have taken me in a direction I did not anticipate. Anna is no exception, as she is strong and independent woman (she’s forty-nine years old in this book, just prior to taking on the headmistress job).

That’s all for now! Feel free to reply to this if you have any questions or comments :D
All my best to you and those you love, Sever,

Quick news on Anna Atticus Stone, etc

Things are progressing nicely with Anna Atticus Stone’s third book. Super exciting to write her during a critical period in her life, when she’s forty-nine years old, has just been offered the job of Headmistress of the Academy of Arcane Arts, juggles an unruly teenage daughter with little motivation and a big secret, a distant husband, and villains chasing after her scion—all while solving old mysteries that just might lead her to an ancient place. Book title announcement coming soon.

Once Anna’s third book is out, I plan on delving back into the trio: Augum, Bridget and Leera. I have grand (epic!) plans for their next escapade, and have missed writing them greatly. But in the meantime, writing Anna is a privilege, a challenge, and a true joy.

Some more book news: for those into audiobooks, Prodigy of Thunder (Anna’s first adventure) is on sale on Audible until Mar 16th.

Hope you have been well,

Sever
P.S. Advance Reader Team is open once again, with limited slots available.

Rereading my own series on a sunny day #fantasy #youngadult #comingofage

I’m about 50,000 words from finishing the final book in the Fury of a Rising Dragon series, so I’m taking a break from writing to read over the series. This is something I also did with The Arinthian Line to ensure that all plot points get wrapped up. Don’t worry, this is factored into the writing timeline and we are still on schedule for a December launch. Taking extensive notes and enjoying the sunshine.
