The Temporal Scythe Is Almost Here – And So Is Goodbye.



Hey everyone,

It’s finally happening. After a journey longer, messier, and more transformative than I ever expected, The Temporal Scythe—the final installment in The Conjurer’s Prophecy Trilogy—releases June 10.

You can read more about the book here, but if you've been following the series, you already know this story isn’t just about magic, time travel, and myth—it’s about sacrifice, identity, and becoming who we’re meant to be, even when fate seems rigged against us. This final chapter brings together every arc, every realm, every mystery... and yes, every heartbreak I’ve put these characters (and you) through.

I won’t lie: finishing this book was bittersweet. It means saying goodbye to Liam, Ada, Benji, Zac, Zoe, and the tangled, magical, explosive world we built together. And that goodbye didn’t come easy. The Temporal Scythe was delayed twice, and not for lack of trying. The truth is—between my role as Chief Strategy Officer at Envirolyte USA and juggling a mountain of responsibility that demanded every drop of mental bandwidth—I had very little left to give during my sacred writing hours (read: post-midnight marathons with coffee and chaos). Most nights, I was simply too exhausted to function, let alone dive back into the Megaverse.

Unlike The Oberon Stone, which poured out of me in under six months, this final book took nearly a year and a half to complete. And I’m proud of every page. Every delay, every rewrite, every “delete and try again” was worth it. Because this one had to land. It had to mean something. And I hope it does.

Now, with this chapter closed, I’m already setting my sights on something new: a sci-fi series for adults, something darker, grittier, and a little more twisted (in the best way). It’s a whole new adventure—and no, I’m not ready to talk about it yet. But soon.

For now, I hope you love The Temporal Scythe. I hope it haunts you a little. I hope it makes you miss the beginning. And most of all, I hope it reminds you that even in a universe full of broken timelines, some stories are meant to find their ending.

Thank you for sticking with me.

  The Journey Behind the Pages Hi everyone, Writing has always been my way of understanding the world—or perhaps escaping it, just a little. When I was younger, I’d get lost in the pages of books, imagining myself in faraway lands, wielding magic, or standing bravely where the heroes stood. Back then, I never imagined I’d someday be creating those worlds myself. Yet, here I am, pouring my heart into stories that I hope will inspire, thrill, and maybe even challenge you. When I started  The Conjurer’s Prophecy  trilogy, the idea felt like a flicker—a small spark of a story. I didn’t know it would grow into this sprawling adventure filled with danger, hope, and complex characters who feel so real to me now. But as the pages piled up, so did my conviction: this was a story worth telling. Not because it was perfect, but because it was raw, honest, and a little messy—kind of like life itself. I think that’s the beauty of storytelling. It doesn’t have to be flawless. It just ha...

  On Stories, Imagination, and the Worlds We Build Hello, dear readers, Have you ever stopped to think about how a single story can ripple outward, creating connections far beyond what we imagined when we first put pen to paper? Writing, for me, is not just a craft—it’s a doorway to countless possibilities. Every word, every chapter, every character is a thread in a tapestry (oops—scratch that word,  no tapestries here!  😉). When I began writing  The Conjurer’s Prophecy  trilogy, I had no idea how much it would shape not only my imagination but also the way I look at the world. Each book has been a challenge—a battle, even. There were times I doubted myself, times I wanted to set the manuscript aside and “just think about it tomorrow.” But the love for storytelling, and for the chance to connect with readers like you, kept me going. Through  The Pandora’s Box  and  The Oberon Stone , and now as I prepare to share  The Temporal Scythe  w...

Why I Write Fantasy Worlds – A Journey from Children’s Books to RPGs and Beyond From my earliest days, storytelling felt like a natural part of me. I started with children’s books—not just reading them but creating them. I’d write the stories I wanted to read, ones with worlds and characters that felt as magical as anything I could imagine. I’d even illustrate them, bringing my ideas to life on every page. There was something powerful about the feeling of finishing a story and holding it in my hands, even if it was just for me. As I got a bit older, poetry became my passion. I poured my thoughts into lines and rhymes, sometimes daydreaming in class and writing poems in the margins of my notebooks. I wanted to share my work, to see it resonate with others the way it did for me. But I was too young to join the local poetry competitions; they had age restrictions that kept me from the stage. Still, I’d go to the events, watch others recite their poems, and feel the thrill of being part of...
