Just in Time for the Trinox Samonios or the 'Three Nights of Halloween' Comes my Celtic Halloween Adventure Module! The PDF is for only $0.99!

Click on Cover for Link to Troll Lords Shop to Purchase! 

At the end of each year comes the month and holiday of Samonios, Samhain or Nos Galan Gaeaf, or Halloween. This is the time when the worlds are drawn together and monsters, gods and the spirits of ancestors wander between them. It is a dangerous and dark time in which the most holy and sacred of ideas mean more than they ever have before in the previous year. It is a time for the Dead and to honor them.

Events in the last year were steeped in bloody battles, the death of kings and encroaching evil from the Otherworld. The seers and madmen foretell that the omens are in place to bring a wrathful invasion from the Land of Magic. Most nobles and lords scoff at these superstitious words and ridicule them, but the common-folk know that there is truth in those portents and omens.

Families stay close, hold their festivities in honor of their ancestors and the gods, but stay wary of the dangers that might find their way into their darkened homes and lives. But for the young or unwary . . . .

Little Addolgar ap Maelon Gof has wandered into the thick foliage of the Coed Celyddon, lured by the many colored playful lights that he saw dancing and laughing. Now the young dark haired child of ten winters is deep in the mist-shrouded forest soaked in Otherworld energies. A storm is brewing in the dark woods, stirring the trees and causing the limbs and boughs to crack and knock against each other. Owls hoot in their haunting voice and somewhere distant, wolves howl. Addolgar climbs over fallen trees and makes his way in bramble patches trying to get closer to the mysterious lights in the boughs of the trees.

Night of Spirits plunges you into the heart of Nos Galan Gaeaf, bringing your characters face to face with the Otherworld and the true horrors of the holiday! 

Night of Spirits is an adventure for 3-5 characters of around 4th-6th level.

New Most Recent Adventure Module 'A Shattered Night' Has a Review!

Click on Cover for Review of Module

As more of my adventure modules are released, for both the Celtic line and the 'Nine Worlds Saga', I am hoping the reviews follow in their wake, feedback is always important! I believe some of my most important work is yet to come in these series. The Codex Germania is about to be premiered soon as well after months of intensive editing, and after I spent an additional seven months writing on it. 

I took a small break in my writing, about 3-4 months. It was needed, for sanity and because I have a new teaching position to adjust to, and there was no way to do both with great skill. Now that everything is in order I can resume my plans as before. My previous novels will be edited and released/published, and obviously my Troll Lord projects were already underway as before. In addition, I have another gaming related project that will be completed too and written before long.

The Codex Slavorum is at its end now as well finally, it has been a lengthy book to write, more so than the Codex Germania due to the source material and how deeply I sought to get it accurate. This means that by the winter season I plan to work on the Codex Classicus slowly. That will be the larger Codex comprising the Roman, Greek and Etruscan worlds. Meanwhile I will also be writing more of the 'Nine Worlds Saga', having just finished the third module in the series recently. 

My 'Island of the Mighty' novel series involving the Celtic prince Rhun ap Maelgwn is also back underway as well. Book two, 'Within a Dark Mountain' will be finished with its editing and published at some point, and I will return to the first book, 'The Sullen Queen' to revise its own editing again before I release the second. I believe it needs it. The third book, 'A Perilous Pursuit' is still lacking its last 20,000 words but it will be completed before long and published. Then I will still publish them in Welsh as planned as well.
