Those initial short stories started being expanded with actual plot lines, character development and so forth. As time went on I found that it really did help ease my temper and I really enjoyed the writing process.
At first they were just really bloody and violent short stories. Have you ever tried writing a short story about whatever it was that angered you?” That piece of advice started me down the path of becoming a writer.

Joining him on this adventure are a group of unlikely heroes including The Lady Brianna Standish, governing lord of Prothtow Province, Shantira Dubris, sole survivor of Xavier’s attack on her village, Raven Darkseed, rouge adept of the Mystical Arts and Zandorth Krahl, Warrior of the Ancient Class. Daimion Devenshire realizes what is at stake and sets off on a desperate quest to stop Xavier from unleashing the unholy power of these three ancient artifacts. A demented Master Mage named Xavier annihilates a village in order to obtain the Stones of Andarus, which legends claim contain a fragment of the power of creation mixed with the twisted essence of a crazed sorcerer named Andarus. It introduces us to the main characters and sets up the premise for the rest of the series. “The Stones of Andarus” is the first book in The Devenshire Chronicles series.
