The LAcon book signing went really well. We had a steady stream of people for close to an hour-and-a-half. I was surprised by how much fun it was. It was great meeting folk and hearing their stories. Everyone loved Helen. She was a hit.
I’ve just finished The Seventh Domain. It’s a standalone book, but could be the first in a new series. At 95,000 words it’s my shortest book to date—even though it will probably run about 400 pages long.
As JVJ.com has been online for over 30 years, we felt it was just about ready for a refresh! You can read a little more about it in the new journal. Needless to say, I really hope you enjoy your visit.
I completed the final draft of Endlords in September. It’s the best book in the Sword of Shadows series and I’m extremely proud of it. The sixth and final book will be titled A Sword Named Loss. I’ve already started work on it. The on-going process of bringing Endlords to publication is continuing and the book will soon be in your hands. Keep checking back for more information.

A few months ago I put myself forward for the internet’s sternest examination, a Reddit AMA. I was astonished when 74K people turned up. I was at the keyboard for nearly 8 hours.
In October I spoke with James Tivendale of Grimdark Magazine about all things JVJ and Endlords. Nothing was off the table, including exclusive access to chapter one.
To ‘warm up’ before writing Endlords I wrote a 100,000 word novel named Sorry Jones, in a genre I like to call Modern Epic Fantasy. One of these days I’ll see about getting it published.
For the past eight years Patreon has been my home from home. It’s where you’ll find the most supportive and wonderful people. I could not have finished Endlords without them.
“Helen raised her left fist, signaling her readiness to begin. She was the fighter with rank, the undefeated champion. The start bell was hers to command.”
