A Company of Adventurers is an exciting new fantasy book I’m writing in collaboration with the accomplished British author Bran Nicholls.

A Company of Adventurers is an easy read, and as always, my writing is all about an immersive story—featuring intelligent and nuanced characters.

This time, in a fantasy world that will make you feel right at home if you ever played any fantasy roleplaying game whatsoever.

Yes, my friend, this book is chock full of adventurers! We’ve got true legendary characters, the fastest of magical weapons, a right nasty spellcaster and a nice one, playful and cute spirits, lots of cool Nordic-inspired Gods, and did I mention adventurers?

A Company of Adventurers will make your role-player’s heart feel right at home. You’ll love it!

• Yes, tell me when the book is out.
  I simply must buy it!

About the story
It’s told as six interconnected stories, each focusing specifically on one party member or in some cases two. These are new exciting characters, belonging to the sort of classes everyone can relate to and enjoy. Bran Nicholls and I show them to you in a fresh light. Look forward to The Thief’s Tale, The Fighter’s Tale, The Sorcerer’s Tale, The Holy Champion’s Tale, and so on. It all leads up to the party members gathering for one heck of a legendary quest!

Why is it not out now?
I have written my part of the book, and the feedback was great from the first of the beta readers. Now, we let in more beta readers. Then come the overall changes to the plot, the grammatical edits, proofread, layout, and so on.

Why not finish the two remaining books in The Artifact War Series first?
I'm still hard at work on the sequel to Doomsayer Prince titled Arch of the Zhi’el (if all goes well I will release it in 2022.) The Artifact War Series consists of huge volumes that take a long time to finish. I want them to be of high quality, full of unique twists, and special moments. Not just muddle through the writing.

However, I aim to release at least one book every year, and when I could tell from my schedule that the sequel would not be ready for publication this year, I knew I had to do something. Bran Nicholls came to my rescue!

By pooling our writing power I’m able to sneak in a shorter fantasy book for release this Christmas. It’s a quicker process as half of A Company of Adventurers is written by him, the book is not a “brick” like the others, and because we travel down “nostalgia lane” and right into the realm of classic fantasy roleplaying joy. I can’t tell you how fun it is to have a writing buddy!

When will the RPG come out?
I’m not sure when The Doomsayer Roleplaying Game will be ready. Perhaps after the sequel is out, perhaps after the series is done. Appreciate that it’s a massive undertaking in its own way.
