Introducing The Path of Mysteries
The Path of Mysteries is now available for purchase in ebook, paperback, and hardcover formats
Dear reader,
I’m pleased to announce that The Path of Mysteries (Book 2 in my epic fantasy series The Artifex and the Muse), is now available for purchase.
I sincerely hope you enjoy the continuation of Ava and Dom’s journey together, which began with The Voice in All (Book 1).
Please help me spread the word about the series
Writing a book requires only an author’s love, but launching a book series requires the love of readers—lots of readers! If you love The Artifex and the Muse, here are the best ways to support the work.
Share your honest reviews of Book 1 and Book 2 on Amazon and Goodreads. Your public review is one of the biggest gifts you can give to an indie author like me. Most readers ignore books with small numbers of reviews, so every additional review of my books helps my marketing efforts massively!
Recommend the book to fellow readers. Your word-of-mouth recommendations and sharing on social media are one of the best ways for new readers to discover the book. For expert social media users, here are some tips and shareable content to maximize the impact of your posts on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Twitter.
Join my reader review team. You can download a free reader review copy of Book 1 or Book 2 in exchange for your unbiased reader review on Amazon and Goodreads. Reviews are hugely influential to prospective readers, and many book promotion channels require books to have dozens or even hundreds of reviews before they will consider listing indie titles like mine.
Subscribe to my author newsletter here on Substack. Subscribers are the first to know any time there’s new content available in the The Artifex and the Muse story universe. In addition to updates on book releases and special promotions, the newsletter includes posts about the fun experiments I do with book-related art, music, and other media.
About the book
Yesterday, Ava and Dom risked everything to escape a life of servitude to the mysterious Voice in all. Unfortunately, their bid for freedom failed disastrously. The pharmaka-enhanced bond between Ava and Dom has become dangerously unstable as a result, and Ava's survival now depends on the help of the Mohirai. Ava and Dom seem to have no choice but to accept their callings from the Voice and begin the novice training that will lead to their initiation as Mohira and Artifex. The sisterhood of Mohirai and brotherhood of Artifexi seem wise and welcoming, but can anyone who serves the Voice really be trusted?
As Ava and Dom begin their journey along the path of mysteries, their friendship faces trials they never could have imagined. Did the Voice in all bind them together only to tear them apart?

Wow, this book was phenomenal! A five-star read, for sure! ... The main characters, Dom and Ava, are insightful, utterly human, apologetic, and open to change … I commend the author for writing an exceptional book that resists compartmentalization. It was brilliant, show-stopping, and spectacular, as Lady Gaga would say; and it was by far the best book I've read all year.
