Thunder Bay

The Saltglass Cycle, a fantasy series in four books

Glassmakers, drowned cities and a lighthouse that remembers. Book four is on its way, and it’s the end.

Reading order
Start with Saltglass. Each one goes to every shop that has it.
Questions readers ask
Should I read them in order?
Yes, please. Each book picks up where the last one stops, and book four won’t make much sense on its own.
Can I get a signed copy?
Chapter House Books in Thunder Bay has signed copies of all four. They ship anywhere in Canada.
Is there a map?
Inside the cover of every book. A bigger one is in the newsletter archive.
Will there be a fifth book?
Not in this series. There might be something else set in the same sea one day.
Letters from the lighthouse
Every couple of months: what I’m writing, a short story, the odd map.
