On August 22, 2023, I appeared on the morning show for the Cincinnati Fox affiliate (WXIX-TV) to discuss the Dark Mage series. The interview was short (about 3 1/2 minutes) but a lot of fun to do. Check it out by clicking HERE.

Magician’s Genesis Pre-Order!
Hi, everyone. It took longer than I expected (mostly due to knee replacement surgery), but Magician’s Genesis, Book 6 of the Dark Mage Series, is now complete. The eBook is currently available as a pre-order with a release date of January 26. The paperback and hard cover editions are available now! So get your orders in by clicking HERE.
Prequel Available in Paperback and Hardback
Hi, everyone. A quick update to Magician’s Dawn, the prequel to the Dark Mage Series. After several requests, I’ve decided to make the book available for purchase as a paperback ($12.99) and hardback ($17.99) volumes. The FREE eBook is still only available to those who sign up for the Dark Mage Series Reader’s List. For links on where to purchase the physical copies, click here and scroll down.
New Prequel Available
Hi, everyone. Just a quick update to my last post. The prequel to the Dark Mage Series is now available. However, it can’t be purchased in ebook stores. You can only get it by signing up for the Dark Mage Series Reader’s List at the top of my website: https://dbrucecotton.com
Magician’s Dawn is a full-sized, 300-page novel, not a short story or novella. It also includes a glossary to help with pronunciation of some of the more difficult names.
After signing up, you’ll receive an email with a link for downloading the book to your favorite reading device. I hope you enjoy it!

Dark Mage Series Update
Hi, everyone! Just a quick update on the Dark Mage Series. After finishing and publishing Magician’s War, I went through a move from Huntsville, AL, to Cold Spring, KY. Whew! After living in the same home for 27 years, it’s incredible how much stuff you can accumulate. Anyway, getting that house ready to sell and all the work required on my new home meant putting writing on hold for several months. I’m back at it now, though.
Rather than start on Book 6 of the Dark Mage Series, I decided to do a prequel to Magician’s Heir (Book 1). Why? There seems to be a lot of curiosity out there about Max Hendricks. Who is he? Why did he send Adam Gray to Tantris to fight against the Dark Mage? If he’s truly the famous mage of legend, Makzendrix, why didn’t he return to Tantris himself? This book will answer all those questions and more.
I’ve tentatively titled the book, “Magician’s Beginning” and it’ll be Book 0 of the Dark Mage Series. When completed, I plan to offer it free of charge to those who join the Dark Mage Reader’s list. Don’t worry, though. If you join before the book is published, I’ll make sure you get a copy.
In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you. On those days when the writing’s not going so well, it always brightens my day and gives me a charge of enthusiasm to hear from fans. Drop me an email at: dbrucecotton@dbrucecotton.com
