What I'm Up To

After publishing 40 novels I decided I would do something else. I spent some time teaching middle school math. Stopped all my social media, dropped my beautiful website.

Hadn't expected to get back to writing....

But I lost my big brother last fall...and spiraled into a dark place. To help get out, I sat down in January and wrote a sequel to my wife's favorite series, Black Lake. I have no intention of publishing it, but decided to share it, so I have repurposed my old writing blog and have serialized the novel there.

      Mac's Novel Idea

It's the sixth novel with the Black Lake characters, in the Black Lake world. - Regards.

The series' original blurb:

The game in the gorges and rich pastures of the highlands draw humans, giants, and little people to the Range. The majical kind follow. So do the orcs and goblins from the eastern desert. The races must put centuries of hatred behind them to live in peace.

The first four novels were set in a pre-industrial era. Five and six are present time, but in a world where ogres and trolls may be your next door neighbor.
