Oecumene, Sicyon, and Olath Che'El Maps!

While writing a series of books, holding the physical paperback copies in your hands, and watching them both become best sellers in their genre are definitely magical feelings, there is something about having maps of the world you have dreamed up on your wall that is something almost extra-magical! Please see the maps of Oecumene's Overworld (The world that The Vhaidra Saga takes place), Sicyon (Nikodemos' hometown), and Olath Che'El (Vhaidra's Underworld hometown) designed by the amazing Angel Sonja Van Dam. These maps will be showing up in future books of The Vhaidra Saga as well.

Vhaidra & the DRAGON of Temple Mount is now a HPB Pick at Half-Price Books!

Half-Price Books just recently began to carry Vhaidra & the DRAGON of Temple Mount, as they do not carry the same number of books as many other bookstores. However they have designated it as a HPB Pick, just like they did with Vhaidra & the DESTINY of Nikodemos. However, they have completely sold out and hopefully will have more copies in stock soon. 

Here are the links to each of the books of the Vhaidra Saga, should you wish to purchase them from Half-Price Books:

Vhaidra & the DRAGON of Temple Mount is #1 new English Drama at Barnes & Noble!

I am pretty excited! Barnes & Noble has Vhaidra & the Dragon of Temple Mount ranked as follows for new (released in the last 30 days) releases: 

#1️ in English Drama (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/books/drama/english-drama/_/N-1qZ29Z8q8Z164e) 

#3️ in Fantasy Drama (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/books/english-drama/fantasy-drama-english/_/N-29Z8q8Z1jox) 

#11 in Epic Fantasy (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/b/books/fantasy-fiction/epic-fantasy/_/N-1rZ29Z8q8Z1835?Nrpp=20) 

Did you know that Vhaidra & the Destiny of Nikodemos was also #1 in new English Drama at B&N in August 2020? The link to buy the paperback of the secund novel in the Vhaidra Saga, Vhaidra & the Dragon of Temple Mount from Barnes & Noble in paperback or NOOK eBook version is https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/vhaidra-and-the-dragon-of-temple-mount-nicholas-stanosheck/1138785736 You may notice some older (not first released in the last 30 days) books on these lists, but that is because a new edition of the book counts as a new release. Hence, I am being ranked against Harry Potter books, books by Terry Pratchett, Charles Dickens, James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, and William Shakespeare.

Vhaidra & the DRAGON of Temple Mount is currently #2 in new English Drama at Barnes & Noble

I am pretty excited! Barnes & Noble has Vhaidra & the Dragon of Temple Mount ranked as follows for new (released in the last 30 days) releases:

Somehow, however, they do not have my listings linked together yet, so the link to buy the paperback of Vhaidra & the Dragon of Temple Mount from Barnes & Noble is https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/vhaidra-and-the-dragon-of-temple-mount-obed-joshua/1138723136 while the link to the NOOK eBook is https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/vhaidra-and-the-dragon-of-temple-mount-nicholas-stanosheck/1138785736

You may notice some older (not first released in the last 30 days) books on these lists, but that is because a new edition of the book counts as a new release. Hence, I am being ranked against Harry Potter books, books by Terry Pratchett, Charles Dickens, James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, and William Shakespeare.

My second novel, "Vhaidra & the DRAGON of Temple Mount", is now available at Amazon for pre-order at https://amzn.to/3s1kF92.

Here is the back cover blurb: 

The War of the Dragons begins here...

What secrets lie in Sicyon's mysterious Temple Mount? Who are ATHIE, DAMIANOS, and KOSMAS, and what is their connection to the orphaned half-dragon MIKHAIL? Are the forces that are purportedly working for a better tomorrow in Sicyon truly what they say they are?

After the devastating Battle of Sicyon in “Vhaidra & the DESTINY of Nikodemos,” House Iroas ascends as VHAIDRA the dark elf monk and NIKODEMOS the human cleric raise a powerful house of half-drow warriors in the overworld. Meanwhile, the young half-dragon, MIKHAIL, his human milkmaid and astonishing ranger, MIRIAM, and the flirtatious dwelf dancer, TI'ERRA, change the ascetic half-orc wizard, ELDER DIONYSIOS, forever, as his hidden history intersects with his future, whether he likes it or not.

The obsidian half-dragon grows from a baby to Sicyon’s powerful stylite and protector, but will his abilities be enough to stave off both the imminent threat of the mighty white dragon from the north or will Sicyon get a long cold winter that it can never wake from? Will the diabolical forces within Sicyon that conspire against ARCHON JUSTINIAN and his allies be able to exploit VHAIDRA, NIKODEMOS, TI'ERRA, ELDER DIONYSIOS, MIRIAM, and MIKHAIL to create the civil war that they so desire? Find out the answers to these questions and more in the exciting adventures of Vhaidra & the DRAGON of Temple Mount!
