Team Davian & Team Marcus Buttons to be Available at my Nov. 7th Book Signing!

I will be giving out these buttons at my November 7th book signing at Barnes & Noble.

 

After some consideration, I made equal amounts of Team Davian and Team Marcus, so... I don't know which will be the most popular. Oh, btw, the man who was my inspiration for Marcus will be in attendance. (He'll be wearing a similar lanyard. that says "I Am Marcus.")

You can also find these buttons on Facebook as "Pieces of Flare." (That's where I got these pictures.) You'll want to search for key words "Team Davian" and "Team Marcus."

So, if you want actual, physical buttons instead of just digital pieces of flare, come to my book signing:

Saturday, November 7th, 7:00pm
Barnes & Noble
5377 Tamiami Trail North
Naples, FL 34108
239-598-5200

Be sure to call ahead and reserve a book to ensure that they have enough!

Fun Facts About Out of the Shadows!

On the Elysian Chronicles website (www.elysianchronicles.com) I have included a page that gives you a little bit of insight into what went into the writing of Out of the Shadows. Things such as why the Admiral Farragut Memorial Window in the Naval Academy Chapel is so important--and why my hands were shaking when I took the picture. You can find out exactly where the coffee shop "Celestial Beans" is located in Annapolis (under a different name) and who exactly was the inspiration behind the creation of Copper. If you're interested, click on the link below. Oh, and if you want to win some contests at the Out of the Shadows book signing at Barnes & Noble on November 7th, you might find this page very interesting!

Podcast: Galatians 5-Who is Your Master?

Yes, I know, I haven't uploaded a Galatians podcast since May. Here it is, late, but it's here. We learned in Galatians 1 and 2 that we are justified (declared righteous) by our faith and are therefore dead to the law. In Galatians 3, we learned the original purpose of the law and studied a special covenant God made with Abraham that predates the law. In Galatians 4, we took a deeper look at the difference between being under the law and being under grace.

This week, we are taking a look at Galatians 5. This podcast is the fifth in six-week podcast series on Galatians.

Click here to download this week's podcast: Galatians 5: Who is Your Master?

 If you missed the first two, click below to download them:

• Galatians Part 1: Grace vs. the Law
• Galatians Part 2: No Double Jeopardy
• Galatians 3: The Purpose of the Law
• Galatians 4: The Joys of Adulthood!

Out of the Shadows Update: It's Released (Kind Of)!

Out of the Shadows, Book II of the Elysian Chronicles, has officially been released!

Well, kind of... The major book warehouses (Ingram & Baker & Taylor) have it in their system, but it hasn't yet been put on Amazon.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, or in the book store chains yet--meaning you can't get it yet. Once the bookstores show record of it, I'll let everyone know!

(Those of you who pre-ordered at DragonCon will receive your signed copies the moment they arrive at my house!)

( And those of you who might have read an advance copy will still want to get a new copy because... We put in a few editions during the final editing process. A dragon named Sarkon, lindworms, a little bit more information about portals in northern Elysia... If you received a REAL early copy...um, I killed off a main character after I printed the first advance copies Oh, it's going to be soooo good!)

So Out of the Shadows is coming for real! Any day now!

(I'm so tired of waiting for this thing. Is anyone else tired of waiting?)

While you are waiting, you can read the first few chapters of Out of the Shadows on The Elysian Chronicles website. Just click here!

Out of the Shadows: The Back of Book Summary...

I posted the new Out of the Shadows cover last night. (Click here to see it.) I figured I would also post the book summary on the back of the book (just to give you a little taste of what's coming). He he he! Evil, yes, but fun! (By the way, this is all new stuff. I've only how had time to post it on the Elysian Chronicles website. Enjoy!

The prophecy my people had forgotten has been fulfilled; Elysia is now slave to a tyrant. His mercenaries kill at will, casting a shadow of terror over my homeland. Our enemies have overtaken Earth, and I fear the human child prophesied to rid evil from both our worlds may not survive impending world war. Armed with only a stolen sword, I shall stand and fight, but this knowledge haunts me:

To free my countrymen, I must betray my country.
