New Ad Poster and Trailer
New Ad Poster and Trailer
As you may have seen, I’ve cobbled together a brand new book trailer for Maldene I&II, which is imbedded below, and now a new ad poster to end the year with (also below, and the only place where you’ll find the full high res version). So take a gander and pass ’em both around.

Maldene is a world of magic and science, wizards and dragons; but home also to an incredible secret. One jealously guarded by History’s most villainous being: Miro. For centuries his presence has been plaguing the nightmares of gods and men; the world is in his thrall, there is no one willing to face him.

Fighting a three-hundred foot dragon will be but the beginning of this quest, as they journey the globe in search of answers to the mystery of Miro’s villainy, and uncover the world’s long-buried secrets. For they are destined to lead a new battle against this most ancient of evils, to gather all beneath the banner of a mysterious King and face the unfaceable.
There is just one problem: Miro is counting on their success.

The Night Before Christmas… in the ‘Hood. by Mark Anthony Tierno (with apologies to Clement Moore) Twas the night before Xmas, when all through the ‘hood, Not a body was stirring, even if they could. The winos were sleeping by the bar out of luck, In the hopes that some passerby would give them a buck. The Hookers were nestled,…

Behold the Maldene Globe!
Behold the Maldene Globe!
I decided to do some geeky tinkering lately and wondered if there was a way to turn my flat 2D Maldene map into a globe. Turns out there is, and animate it as well. My first draft I found a couple of flaws on my map (that date back to just after I fiddled with the first scans of my original hand-drawn map), fixed those (and updated the color downloadable map as well), tried again, and– well, it…
