\"AE-cover\"“Allies & Enemies” continues the story of Vereint and Warrick from where it left off in “Heroes & Villains<\/a>” [Amazon link: Heroes & Villains<\/a>] [Smashwords link: Heroes & Villains<\/a>]<\/p>\n

It is 100,000+ words long, and comprises three arcs.<\/p>\n

The First Five Chapters (raw):
\nChapter One & Two<\/a>
\nChapter Three<\/a>
\nChapter Four<\/a>
\nChapter Five<\/a><\/p>\n

Allies & Enemies has been contracted by Less Than Three Press and will be released July 16, 2014<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Summary: Picks up where “Heroes & Villains” left off, continues the story of Vereint and Warrick. They are happy in their life together, but sometimes bad things happen to good people … and bad people set the world on fire.<\/p>\n

I am currently working on “All That Remains.”<\/p>\n

Darkstar x Blue Ice.<\/p>\n

\n

Though “Allies & Enemies” is the direct sequel to “Heroes & Villains,” it can be read as a standalone novel. My writing style has developed and grown since I first started writing about superheroes and supervillains and I like to think that my ability to write action scenes has grown as well.<\/p>\n

I believe that “Allies & Enemies” has a tighter feel to the story, as I wasn’t having to introduce the characters and world from scratch. While I don’t think that people unfamiliar with “Heroes & Villains” will be left too far in the dark — it’s easy to pick up what’s going on — there are references to events that happened in “Heroes & Villains” that tie-in with Vereint and Warrick’s continuing story.<\/p>\n
