Feast your eyes: Maurizio Manzieri, the reknowned and 2025 Hugo-nominated artist, has created a cover version for Bones of Starlight! Featured is Princess Ascendant Soleil, piloting Moonshadow in her Vedani control suit, with Dragons in the air over Alisandre Capital. I’m truly honored.

Okay me hearties, an audiobook recording has been accomplished and is now in production processing, however long that may take!

This story is especially amazing in its full form, much like myself. It features another painting by Seattle calligraffiti artist Leo Shallat, “Breaking Through.”
Reaching into the far interdimensions of an alternate universe, this trilogy became everything, and I’m proud to present it to you. The final notes of a celestial symphony, reverberating along another fractal as they spiral away, sparkle with light.
Here’s to the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.
Here it is: Bones of Starlight in one tome – definitive and complete, one hardcover print volume with all three books, the appendix, and an additional word on poetic forms. This feels like a culmination! Featuring another gorgeous calligraphic painting by Seattle’s Leo Shallat. The cover:
