THE WIZARD'S DIARY
PART I: Magic Comes to Ardilakk Valley
PART II: The Sword Guildebrande
Aarghathlain enjoys being an honored Spire Wizard, not to mention the perks that come with it. Even so, he can’t shake the nagging feeling that something is missing from the comfortable yet inconsequential life of predicting the future for Gemini City’s elite.
Preoccupied with his responsibilities, Aargh is unaware that Ardilakk Valley is on the verge of changes that will irrevocably alter the practice of magic forever and possibly destroy it. With one reckless and rather unwizardly act of kindness, Aargh finds himself thrust into the center of a conflict as old as time itself.
To save the world he loves, the greatest wizard of the age will have to become a fugitive, a warrior, a pirate, a hero, and most importantly, a father.

AN UNWIZARDLY SILENCE
PART III: The Wizards' Underground
PART IV: The Wizards' Spire
A feral magic has escaped into the wilds…an insatiable force that desires one thing and one thing alone: to consume those who open their minds to it.
Much to Aargh’s dismay, there are wizards who seek to dismantle the one thing keeping it at bay–a spell of his creation–and it appears they’ll stop at nothing to see it broken. Driven from his home in the dead of night by a group of rogue wizards, Aargh is forced to seek refuge in the Underoof, where he unwittingly finds himself on the precipice of discovery or, equally likely, disaster.
Back at the wizarding school, his friends are faring no better. Tasked with locating the fugitives before they do irreparable harm, the members of The Wizards’ Underground are blocked at every turn, trapped in an impossible situation fraught with danger and deception. Together, they must evade a cloaked foe, find the answer to a question that will rock Aargh to his core, and plumb the depths of history to uncover the truth behind the mysterious events that have overshadowed life in Ardilakk Valley. Along the way, the most unlikely of wizards will discover hidden strengths, while others will suffer the realization of their deepest desires. Tragedy will strike, and good will triumph, but at what cost?
Will Aargh’s journey into a realm forgotten by time help him rein in the magic that threatens to bring about the end of the world, or will an unwizardly silence be the reason he fails?
Be part of the adventure! Join Aargh, Holly-Mine, their friends, and dangerous enemies in the second book of The Wizard’s Diary series: An Unwizardly Silence!

Book 3
A THOUSAND EYES BY NIGHT
PART V: In The Wizard's Absence
PART VI: The Wizard's Familiar
With the release of elemental magic, the Wizards’ Spire teeters on the edge of collapse–as does wizarding in Ardilakk Valley.
Caught between the wrath of Gemini City’s enraged citizens and the impending onset of winter, Bartlebee and The Wizards' Underground struggle to find a safe refuge for the school’s teachers and students. They must also contend with Tarth’s evil plans festering in the Northrim’s Metal City and avoid crossing paths with the Brethren who have chiseled their way out of Ransome Ravine with designs to reclaim magic for themselves.
If he could, Bartlebee would turn to his oldest friend for help, but Aargh is trapped in the World Between. Making matters worse, an ancient force has awakened in the westering forest of Shadowood, endangering Holly-Mine and adding to the urgency of Aargh’s return...but that is easier said than done.
In order to move forward, Aargh must confront his past, and although he’s spent years trying to decipher where he came from, the truth might be more than he can handle.
Like the River Wide’s oldest and most strategic game, Warboard, the pieces have been set. The question is, who will make the first move?
