Posted on February 14, 2021 by Tomas

While the fourth book of J.C. Kang’s Dragon Song series is down due to being re-pusblished, I delved into one of the side-stories. And as this one has a major focus on Jie the half-elf spy, I was in for an action-packed story, though the world’s politics still played a major part.

Posted on November 18, 2020 by Tomas

The final countdown…

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Tomas

It has come… as of writing this, just a few hours remain until I truly become a self-published author… until my debut goes on sale. So, it’s time for a bit of reflection.

Posted on September 4, 2020 by Tomas

In less than a month, I’ve read the Bond of the Dragon series, starting with Zahara’s gift, from its start to end. So, how’s the last book like? A lot like the third…
