Errant Knight is now on Patreon!

June 5, 2025 By Lou

The release of Alpha and Omega was just the start. Today, you can enjoy the first five chapters of Greystone Book Seven, Errant Knight, for FREE over on Patreon.

Errant Knight Patreon Launch

A knight’s destiny spells the end for Portents.

In the final days of Camelot, Merlin foresaw a great darkness rising. He dispatched five knights to combat this evil—and safeguard the world from its insidious threat. The knights built a fail-safe device, should all hope fade, and awaited the day it became necessary.

The clock starts ticking when a prominent philanthropist is found murdered. Detective Samantha Myers, with the aid of a centuries-old siren Thel, is pulled into the case. Stymied by the secrets uncovered, Myers turns to the only man capable of solving the mystery: Greg Loren.

In the absence of Soriya Greystone, Loren has taken up the role of protector in Portents. He feels inadequate to handle the burden though, especially when he learns his new partner, Gabe, is spiraling at school and with his foster family.

The case proves the perfect distraction as Loren confronts the deadly guardians of the knights. As each key falls into the hands of the murderous Squire, Merlin’s prophecy is on the verge of becoming a reality.

Can Loren protect the last knight and the key he bears or will Portents fall in the wake of his failure?

The restoration of Portents may be over before it has even begun in this epic installment to the Greystone Saga.

But what’s Errant Knight about, exactly?

Book Details

A knight’s destiny spells the end for Portents.

In the final days of Camelot, Merlin foresaw a great darkness rising. He dispatched five knights to combat this evil—and safeguard the world from its insidious threat. The knights built a fail-safe device, should all hope fade, and awaited the day it became necessary.

The clock starts ticking when a prominent philanthropist is found murdered. Detective Samantha Myers, with the aid of a centuries-old siren Thel, is pulled into the case. Stymied by the secrets uncovered, Myers turns to the only man capable of solving the mystery: Greg Loren.

Can Loren protect the last knight and the key he bears or will Portents fall in the wake of his failure?

The restoration of Portents may be over before it has even begun in this epic installment to the Greystone Saga.

The end is coming.

Errant Knight is the next step on the road to the ultimate finale for Greystone. There are major developments in this book that set up the startling revelations to come.

Writing Update – November 27, 2023

November 27, 2023 By Lou

How are we already at the end of November? It’s not possible to consider 2024 is this close to a reality. Thanks for joining me on another writing update where I didn’t finish half of what I was hoping to.

Here we go.

Writing Update

Greystone 7

The draft for Errant Knight is DONE. I finished at the start of the month, hoping to jump right into the edit. Then life crashed hard. No-school November is a terrible month for me work-wise. I love my kids to death, but holy hell do they need to have a full week of school!

Anyway, the draft is fantastic. Right up there with some of my favorite Soriya/Loren adventures of the past. I’m going to read through it this week and start the cleanup process. Hoping to close out the book by the end of the year, which would be the perfect present to wrap up 2023.

Something New for the Writing Update?

Wait. You didn’t have time to jump into your edit, but you started work on a new series?

Yeah. My stupid brain disobeyed orders yet again. Finishing up Errant Knight somehow opened the floodgates in this wacky head of mine. I woke up out of a dead sleep with a fully developed series I’ve been calling Covenant for the moment. It’s urban fantasy fun and I’ve already scripted the first short story–a Christmas Adventure of all things–that I’m hoping to draft for next holiday season. It has a ton of potential, so I did take a few days to flesh out the world, including two great supporting characters and an origin story for our hero. It’s going to be a blast to build out this series when I can.

Where do we go from here?

Once Errant Knight is set, my publishing schedule is planned out through 2025, if you can believe that. I’ve been going back and forth with myself–because who else would put up with me at this point–about what to work on next. The smart move, and the initial plan, was to start Greystone 8 immediately so I can close out the series by the end of 2024.

Then I started reading the proofs for DSA Season Two and the next books started filtering through my thoughts. Ben and Morgan keep whispering in my ear for the next chunk of their tale to be told.

Of course, so are Nate and Aeris in my sci-fi space opera series, Red Epsilon. I went to Lil-Con in Lockport last weekend and brought Book One of that series. I wanted a refresher on the scripts I finished back in 2021, because I’m dying to live in that world for a little while.

The voices have been getting louder. Should I be worried?

The sky’s the limit for drafting next year to make as many of these books a reality. Whether that means simply drafting and editing later on, or jumping from one series to another, remains to be seen. I’m sure I’ll still be debating it come the first of the year. (Only a month away?! Crap!)

Reading List

All comics again for me lately. It helps me when it comes to dialogue, and the bite-size chunks are a nice escape when I’m drowning in work, or kids, or life in general.

This month has been B.P.R.D. central. Mike Mignola is an unparalleled talent. The level of world-building and the growth of the cast amidst the supernatural threats against them has been a treat to enjoy. I’m in the middle of the Hell on Earth saga and can’t wait to see where things go next. I’d be remiss in not mentioning John Arcudi on the writing side as well as Guy Davis, Tyler Crook, and so many other wonderful artists on the series.

That’s it for the updates in 2023!

Happy reading.
