Greetings! I have news about Ballad of the Grey Swan.
After a bunch of accusations of using AI to generate the cover, I threw up my hands and went meh, and got a new one made. This one is by the same artist as the one for Fiendblood, Ivan Skirvin, and depicts our hero, Jey “The Grey Swan” Corbeau. I hope you like it.
And here it is: Click to continue reading.
I’d really intended for this to come out sooner, but I got distracted by a lot of things. But here we are, the Soundtrack for the Ballad of the Grey Swan! Let’s go doing some diving!
Greetings, friends.
I’ve rearranged the site a little bit, to take into account a few things.
Now that we have the two protagonists done, here’s a new one for the whole book, Ballad of the Grey Swan.
Well, after telling Jey’s story, it only makes sense to tell Maisie’s, doesn’t it?
Maisie in the secondary main character of Ballad of the Grey Swan, daughter of the local innkeeper, and lover of Jey, the main character, and she goes through a lot of development of her own…
I made one of these a bit back for the book itself, but now I’m doing a few others: one for Jey, and one for her lover Maisie. I’m also going to remake the one for the book itself, just because I’ve learned a bit about what to do, and hopefully it’ll be better this time.
I just found out that Richard Chamberlain has passed away.
I never brought it up, because I had no room, but the character of Swordmaster Corin, Jey Corbeau’s sword teacher, was in part based on his portrayal of Aramis in the 1973 film of The Three Musketeers.
He’s also going to be the mentor of another character in a different book, where he plays the Chairman of the High Council of the Organization of Pilferers, Rogues, Enforcers, Assassins, Conmen, and Highwaymen – better known on the streets and back-alleys of the cities as just the Organization or the Business. (For you fantasy readers/gamers, yes, it’s basically the Thieves Guild.) If you’ve watched the show Leverage, you saw Richard Chamberlain as Archie Leach. (That’s the part he plays in that book: a somewhat retired gentleman thief who can still outmaneuver and out-think the younger crew.)
Rest well, kind and noble sir; your gentle humor and smile will be missed.
Greetings all! Things are a bit tough here, so I am asking for some help.
First, I’d like to remind you that my first book, The Ballad of the Grey Swan, is out for sale with some revisions and a new cover.

And now to the core of things…
Just a quick note – I’ve opened a store for sales of The Ballad of the Grey Swan in both PDF and epub formats on itch.io.
It’s been a while, but I’ve been doing some writing in the background. Let’s get down to business!
