It’s a week of promoting High Fantasies, folks, and with this one, we have quite literally taken to the sky! Okay, okay….maybe not literally (and perhaps I was being a bit cheesy there), but the point is, this upcoming release brings a whole new meaning to “soaring to new heights.” And I’m sure it’ll blow …

The first time I ever listened to a Peter Roe piece was when I was in the early stages of writing Reikai // Threads of Fate. There’s nothing in this world like discovering a new composer or musician who, in turn, fuels your own creativity. But what I love most about Roe’s tracks is their …

review I was really excited to receive a copy of The Dysasters, mostly because I enjoy comic-esques stories in the vein of Cloak & Dagger and The Flash. Plus, I’ve read a number of books by P.C Cast in the past that I’ve loved. This book has certainly checked all the boxes for me: Evil mad scientists. Elemental …
