I have just submitted the Ghostwater manuscript to Amazon.

Finally, I can comment again! Some people got comment capability back early, but now it should be working for everyone! Hooray!

And with that small interruption, the news continues!

To celebrate our fifth anniversary of House of Blades, we're now giving away some free wallpapers! 

We've got them for your computer or your phone, and technically they're also available for sale as posters if you literally want them to paper your wall at home. Or you can just take the thing that's free.

Enjoy! 

(By the way, Ghostwater is ready for upload, and I'll be sending it to Amazon tomorrow night. When tomorrow night? That depends...)

Nothing to see here.

It's my name on all the books, but there's a team of people who make sure they happen. Without help, I'd still be working on House of Blades from my nest under a bridge.

These are the people who help me set my schedule and stick to it. They're the ones who make sure the books get written, and handle the aspects of business I suck at (which is basically everything but writing the books and responding to you guys).

Recently, we had our first long-term strategy meeting where we hammered out our objectives as Hidden Gnome Publishing...a name I made up five years ago so I could fill in the "publisher" blank on House of Blades. Slowly, Hidden Gnome has become a real thing! Sort of!

In this meeting, we decided on the June 1st release date for Ghostwater, and we set my schedule for the remainder of 2018 into 2019. Since then, it's this group of people that has used their pitchforks to keep me sticking to that schedule. There are even more people involved in the books than are pictured here; it's hard to list everyone.

​So when I say "we" decided something, or when it looks like I actually planned something in advance, you can thank Hidden Gnome!

EDIT: If you're having trouble posting comments today, so am I. Apparently a lot of Weebly websites lost comment capability yesterday, including this one. Hoping for a fix soon!

Sure, it's House of Blades' birthday, but it's also Ghostwater's. So on June 1st, the Cradle: Foundations bundle will also be available for free!

Cradle: Foundations includes Unsouled, Soulsmith, and Blackflame in ebook form. Never heard of these books? Read them on Kindle Unlimited but want to own a copy? Then pick them up on June 1st for free! 

And the news keeps coming! More news coming soon!
