Happy Sunday!
I missed the days of IRC, message boards and meeting places for SFF fandom (other than reddit)...so I setup a Discord.
Stop on by and hang-out:
Welcome to the Frostverse
The Frostverse is a community for fans of Anderson W. Frost and the wider SFF+ community. A place for readers, writers, artists, gamers, and creators to connect over the stories and worlds we love.
Talk books, discover new authors, share your work, swap recommendations, dive into...
Great news!
As the title says, Sheri will be returning to lend her voice to Montclair. Just like book one, this will be an audible exclusive, if only because they make it so quick and easy for self-published authors. In the future I will explore other distribution avenues, but for now...the more time I can dedicate to writing the better.
I'm pretty sure the Audiobook will be live in October, barring any unforeseen difficulties.
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday,
I have some good news to share. Effective this month, the Pendant Edition and First Print Edition will be sunset, in favor of a new 2nd Edition. The new cover combines the First Print Raven that everyone loves and the photographic based style of The Pendant Edition & Montclair. The second edition includes all of the formatting upgrades and POV headers from the pendant, as well as the new two page map from Montclair, and will serve as the standard edition of Thorns,...
What a crazy two weeks it has been.
Happily Indie After 2026 : Unfortunately, due to things out of my control I will not be able to attend. Stay tuned for new BookCon/ComicCon dates for 2027, likely in the Nashville/Knoxville area or surrounding states. I may look to try to get into MegaCon (orlando) or DragonCon (ATL) in the coming years....but I've got writing to do first. Once BWAS is released, I can take a breather and focus on meeting you all.
Montclair : Is finally here!...
And now, we wait...
This is arguably the worst part of being an author.... spending weeks, months, years waiting.... on vendors and automated processes that seem to take one eternity longer than the writing process itself. Though... I suppose it could be worse. In twelve days Montclair will be released to the wild, which gives rise to some anxiety if I am to be honest. Only because it's smaller project, tighter focus and pov, and a slightly different tone than book one. I hope...
Good Morning,
The reading playlist for Montclair (MTC) is now live. Spoiler alert for chapter titles.

It's new release time!
Montclair, officially releases 07.31.26, just one week shy of the year anniversary of Thorns, Feathers & Bones! Can you believe it?
I cannot.
About Montclair from an author perspective:
The world of Thorns is a massive one, filled with unique stories and perspectives that could not possibly be contained in four books (even Sanderson sized ones). The easily solution, would be to expand the main series into more books, however, I feel doing so would water down the main...
Hey all,
I'm working on giving some TLC to the website and expanding it in some ways. Stay tuned for more features and regular blog updates.
Novella 1:
The first novella is coming along extremely well, and I am already sending chapters to Bonnie, my editor. This book introduces three new characters in an unexplored kingdom within Thorns, Feathers & Bones, and it ends by tying directly into the events of Book 2, Blood, Wine & Steel.
These characters are incredible and are already fighting...
I am happy to announce the cover and title reveal for book 2.
Check out the announcement video here :
Four years and three re-writes later, who would have thought my futzing around with an idea in Word, would turn into a published 684 page, 240,000+ (give or take) word novel. Whelp...time to do it again. TFAB 2, is officially in the works... three chapter down... eighty something to go I'm sure.
After four years, it's finally done! Everything is set and on track for the July 20th launch of Thorns,Feathers & Bones, including a gorgeous softcover. What a wild ride it has been! Next up will be stores and an audiobook on the major three. Stay tuned.
