Monster Month: Kawuso
This creature comes from Japan and it is what they call river otters. These fall into the category of yokai, which are Japanese demons. Known to be tricksters, they are similar in habits to kitsune (foxes) and tanuki (coming on … Continue reading

Monster Month: Olitiau
I’m almost tempted to put this under ‘Animal Posts’ because it’s really a giant bat. This creature is found in Cameroon and is associated with the Kongamato, which is a pterodactyl cryptid. Only because they both fly and tend to … Continue reading

Revisiting Origins: Mab the Dark Mistress
Mab is the only character from War of Nytefall who has already been introduced to readers. She appeared in Legends of Windemere: The Mercenary Prince and kind of helped Delvin. This showed an older, more mature, not as friendly version of this … Continue reading

Monster Month: Zilant
As you can tell from the picture, this is some kind of dragon. It has been the symbol of Kazan, Russia since the 1730, so it has a solid reputation. Although, it has changed over the years from what I’ve … Continue reading

Monster Month: Skolopendra
This was a headache to research because ‘Scolopendra’ is the family of large tropical centipedes. Considering this creature is a sea monster, you can imagine how tough it was to find a semi-decent picture. Everything was centipedes until I added … Continue reading

Monster Month: The Mapinguari
This is a beast found around Brazil, Peru, and Venezuela and is supposedly at least seven feet tall. So, it’s really big and appears to be similar to a Sasquatch and Yeti. Really that’s only because it’s big and has … Continue reading

Revisiting Origins: Clyde
(Note: The core cast of War of Nytefall had their origin posts done prior to the release of the first book. So, it’s kind of interesting to see how I pitched them.) War of Nytefall is very much about Clyde because he … Continue reading

Monster Month: Akhlut
Starting off October’s monster theme, I’m going with a creature from the frozen north. It is part of Inuit mythology and not the easiest thing to find a picture of. To be honest, I got all of these monsters off … Continue reading

Revisiting Origins: Kira Grasdon
Within the pages of Legends of Windemere, one character will always stand out to me as the wild card. The reason is because she was unexpected, but she also developed a really big love/hate relationship with readers. Some seemed to hate … Continue reading
