As an infant, Niklas’s family escaped death when the entire royal bloodline of Livonia was murdered. As an adult, Niklas joined the Teutonic Knights in their bloody crusades across Europe to spread God’s Word. After years of service, he discovers that the army he faithfully served has ill-intentioned motives.
When Niklas and his friend defect from the knighthood, they are relentlessly pursued across the Baltic States by the wickedly led Teutonic Order. His only hope to enjoy a peaceful life is to unify the oppressed populace against their tyrannical rulers. But, political upheavals and looming enemies threaten any chance of peace. When it’s discovered that an heir to the Livonian throne is still alive, Niklas vows to help him regain his rightful place as leader. At best, Niklas’s oath can help bring freedom to people in a lost country. At worst, it can cost him his life.
Interview
What is the
hardest part of writing your books?
-Writing uninterrupted. With three kids it tends to be chaotic at times, and even worse when our house becomes the mecca center for their friends. Oh, what fun (insert sarcasm). Then again, it is nice to know they like hanging at our home.
What songs
are most played on your Ipod?
-When at
home, I play music mixes through my computer as ambiance while I write. It is a
very nice set up for producing music, so the sound quality is great. The songs played
are dependent on what I am writing about. For example, epic, cinematic, LOTR,
medieval type stuff for historical-fiction/fantasy, civil war era music for
civil war books.
Do you have
critique partners or beta readers?
-I have
used a few people in the past, folks I’ve graduated with, but not in the last
several books.
What book
are you reading now?
-Daughter
of Prophecy by Miles Owens
How did you
start your writing career?
-It began
with writing and drawing my first book in elementary school, perhaps ten pages.
In middle school I worked on my ‘biggest’ project at that time and got up to
fifty-seven pages. My writing truly commenced in 2003 when my secretary walked
into my office with a serious look on her face, stopped in front of my desk,
and looked right at me. I thought I did something wrong. She said, “God told me
to tell you there are untapped talents within you. Use them.” Literally, a fire
stirred in my belly. Three days later I started writing and I haven’t stopped since.
Tell us
about your next release.
-My next
release is titled Rebellion, book 2 in the Obsidian Cross Series due out in
November 2017, and I just finished writing book 3 of the trilogy, Justice.
