Review of my novella "Their Village, Their Fortress" slated for April 2026 edition of Midwest Book Review. Excerpt:

"Their Village, Their Fortress is a military fantasy that revolves around the fall of a main fortress and its ensuing invasion, which ripples danger and threats into surrounding villages that depended on the fortress for protection. Despite its importance to their lives, the army decides to retreat and save itself rather than informing the villagers that they are now vulnerable to attack.
[...]
Librarians will find Their Village, Their Fortress’s focus on empowerment, survival strategies, and living with the consequences of war, honor, and rebellion makes for a fantasy that will appeal well beyond genre readers. It will prove a fitting title for book club discussion and debate about military service, personal choice and honor, and individual and collective struggles, bringing to life the possibilities and challenges of not just a village under siege, but worlds that shift over responsibilities, expectations, and outcomes." - Diane Donovan

Today I would like to highlight the newest review of the first and foundational book in my quasi-series, "Prince Ewald the Brave".

Excerpt: "It was also interesting how different people viewed others which would lead you to think one thing and then you get a different point of view that turns those ideas on their head a bit. There's definitely some excellent world building going on here and also well thought out point of view changes to advance the plot as needed."

I write ensemble casts because that's pretty much the only thing I know how to do comfortably, and would face attention span issues if sticking too long with a single POV. As per the prologue of my newest, I also prefer to highlight how even a "singular hero" can really represent a team effort supported by people who deserve mentioning. But it's great to think that from a reader's perspective I'm also making interesting use of what would otherwise be considered a narrative choice.
