The Third Kingdom

The Third Kingdom is home to a number of magical people and creatures. The basic principles of magic apply to all, but each has its own limitations and abilities. Some terms are the result of bias and discrimination, both within the magical world and the general population. The terms used for each type of magical person can help identify their powers, limitations, and can say something about their background and approach to magic.   A Sorcerer (male) and a Sorceress (female) have a natural magical power that will generally reveal itself to the person very early on, usually before the age of ten.

If you have read any of the Third Kingdom novels, you have certainly seen references to the Wizard Wars. These wars, of which there were two, were a pivotal moment in the Kingdom’s history. I have always planned to write the story of the wars, and in my mind, it has always been a four-book series. I am happy to say that Book One is written and is currently in the process of final edits. “Wizard Wars – Book One: Prelude To War” will kick off the series.

Book Four, which is planned to wrap up the series, is yet to be titled. I will post the planned release dates as soon as things are firmed up a bit. Currently, I will be working on the Cover artwork for Book One, and the plan i...

  Relics of the 3rd Kingdom: The Legend of the Ring of Splendor In the annals of history, few artifacts carry the weight of authority quite like the Ring of Splendor . Worn by the monarch of the 3rd Kingdom, this isn't merely a piece of decorative jewelry; it is a heavy badge of office, a symbol of absolute power designed to be recognized from the furthest corners of a crowded throne room.
