Hi Friends,

I’m about to start outlining Combat Shift, Book 5, tomorrow. If you’re a fan, you know most of the character names in my books come from Japanese words and names. I’m adding a few new characters and thought it would be fun to let readers choose some names.


Today’s Contest: Suggest a character name

Prize: The name you suggest will be included in Combat Shift, coming early 2020. Credit to you in the back of the book. ๐Ÿ™‚

Here are three characters who need names. The only requirement is an Asian flair to the name. No John or Sally. ๐Ÿ˜€ If I get some good ones and you enjoy it, I’ll do it again.

1. Mean woman fighter one level ahead of Kiriai who comes from a high social class and is nasty just for the fun of it. She has two, as yet unnamed, cronies.

2. Crony Number 1 – male (feel free to suggest some characteristics along with the name. I haven’t fleshed this one out yet.

3. Crony number 2 – female (Throw in some ideas here too, if you’d like)

Click reply and send me your ideas. I’m interested to see what you come up with! ๐Ÿ™‚


Thanks for all the tooth remedy suggestions! There’s nothing like walking around with a green wad of herbal goo in my cheek with dabs of clove and oregano oil on it. I don’t think it’s going to go far as a new breath mint flavor. Sadly, the problem isn’t fixed and I’m starting antibiotics to see if that helps.

Where is a good healing potion or fixing wand when I need one? ๐Ÿ˜€


My Writing Update:

Exciting news!ย Combat Outbreakย is coming out in four days and I dropped the price ofย Combat Mindย to $2.99 for at least a week to celebrate.ย Combat Origin, the first in series is still $0.99 for those who want to try the series.

Thank you to the awesome advance readers who have already submitted reviews to Amazon. They are gold to a new author like me. Thanks!

Happy reading!
