About THE BLEEDING STONE

I am very excited to get this rudimentary website together (graphic design is my passion) and talk a bit about my indie debut fantasy novel, THE BLEEDING STONE!

THE BLEEDING STONE is the first in a fantasy trilogy titled THE SPELLBINDERS AND THE GUNSLINGERS. In a sense, it is a vocalization of my personal frustrations with historical education specifically in the United States, an admonishment of history often being written by the victors, and a rejection of erasure, imperialism, colonialism, and the notion of exceptionalism superseding the sins of the forging of a nation.

There's a mishmash of genres here: it's fantasy at its core, with splashes of historical fiction and western thrown in for good measure. Think the historical analogues of THE POPPY WAR trilogy meets the god-magic of THE BLOODSWORN trilogy meets the drama of THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS.

There will be more of THE BLEEDING STONE, and the rest of the trilogy, to come. The cover will be unveiled shortly, just as soon as the design work for it is done (and I can tell you now, it is BEAUTIFUL), and the book should see the light of day on DECEMBER 6, 2022.

I'm looking forward to sharing this story with you all. I hope you enjoy it.
