Hi!Thankfully I had a great week of writing. I’m feeling the pressure to finish book 7 this month so that it can go through all the necessary revisions and editing before Mr. Baldree gets it in February. We are on track and I’ll keep working hard to keep it that way.This week, I had an issue wit...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 57
Chapter 57After all the Adepts had tried the timing trial, they returned to the village. To Ruwen’s surprise, everyone joined him and Sift on the beach, and no one left to work on the breathing or force trials. Even Echo, for the first time, joined them for instruction.The Adepts stood in a single...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 56
Chapter 56The mid-morning sun warmed Ruwen’s cheeks, and for the hundredth time, he forced himself to not look down. He stood at the edge of a canyon, but unlike the canyon with the Floots and keys, the sides here were steep. Steep as in a three-hundred-foot vertical drops.A brisk wind rising from...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 55
Chapter 55The next morning Ruwen led the Adepts into the bamboo forest behind the village. He had spent the night exploring the hills and studying the creatures that inhabited the trees. Well, grass technically, but the bamboo grew so tall it was hard to think of it as anything but trees.Ruwen stopp...

Hello!One of the reasons I love writing this series is the theme of balance. While it is everywhere in the series, book seven is thick with it, as the focus is on the Master’s trial. As we enter the last act of book seven, and I near some of the most powerful scenes in the novel, balance is especi...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 54
Chapter 54The sun had almost touched the horizon when Ruwen gathered with the rest of the Adepts on the beach. He kneeled next to Sift, digging his toes into the warm sand.“I think this should count as a vacation,” Ruwen whispered. “It’s a proper beach.”“You wish,” Sift replied. “Thi...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 53
Chapter 53Ruwen and the rest of the Adepts, even to his surprise, Echo, treaded water above the coral disk he had found the night before. The late morning sun reflected off the water, causing him to squint. The waves swelled as they approached the shore, and everyone moved up and down with the perpe...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 52
Chapter 52While Rung One looked through the Quartermaster’s Relics, Ruwen and Sift took the rest of the Adepts closer to the surf. The bamboo forest stretched into the water, making for an odd sight. They remained close enough to the Phased Bamboo Shoot that the forest remained thin. It allowed Ru...

Hi!This week contained Thanksgiving in the US, which also happens to be my favorite holiday. We drove to spend it with family, which was wonderful. I can now categorically confirm, however, that leaving at four in the morning in an attempt to let everyone sleep (especially BAFK) while you drive, is ...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 51
Chapter 51Sift and Ruwen moved to stand in the back of Rung Four as the Adepts gathered for the Green Belt ceremony. It remained remarkably easy to see as the bright moon reflected off the ocean and the hills of bamboo glowed. The surf also grew bright every time a wave crashed as something in the w...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 50
Chapter 50Ruwen and Sift grabbed one of the empty medium-sized huts with two hammocks. Honestly, Ruwen would have rather just made a Shed for them, having become attached to the structures while isolated all those months. He resisted, not wanting to attract attention or break any rules. If the roof ...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 49
Chapter 49The tremors on Savage Island grew stronger, and the Addas herded everyone back through the portal. As soon as they all arrived back at the swamp, the Founders and Addas created another rune gate and once again, they all moved to a new location, except this time, they remained on the same p...
Thank you!
It is turkey day here in the US, and while I know the fans of the series are scattered all over the world and some don't celebrate Thanksgiving, I didn't want to let the day pass without letting you know how much you mean to me.When I started the Divine Apostasy series three years ago, I nev...

Hi!My big accomplishment this week was getting almost 100 books mailed out. I sent December’s book as well since the holidays get really busy for everyone. This always happens to me when I miss a month (or two) of mailings. I appreciate everyone’s patience.Writing went well at the beginning of t...
Divine Apostasy Book 7 - Chapter 48
Chapter 48Ruwen exited the lava tunnel and sprinted into a rainstorm. The rain surprised him as it had seemed too cold earlier for rain. He didn’t stop running until he reached the large circle of portal stones. The Founders and Addas sat meditating, while Echo seemed intent on something in the di...
