Should have some cool stuff to show in the coming months in relation to my current projects! For today, though, all I have is a big-small announcement: Edict of Honor’s Audiobook has released exclusively on Audible. … Read More

Awakening Artes’s stellar release & my heartfelt gratitude

Bernie Anés PazWriting2 Comments

Well, it’s been a few weeks since Awakening Arte released, and in that brief span of time, it’s already amassed over a 100 positive reviews. Yes, I know, that number is nothing for many successful authors, but it’s truly mind-blowing for a nobody like me. For context, many books never hit over 10 reviews, and some only creep up there … Read More

Although it was “announced” quite a while ago (and even a little bit earlier to the Larian faithful like myself), we only recently got a good look at the game. And damn, what a look it was: Now, that there is just the opening cinematic, but the world reveal also included a peek at gameplay. From turn-based combat to freedom … Read More

The feud between traditional and indie publishing

Bernie Anés PazWritingLeave a Comment

I’ve been doing a lot of reading and engaging in a lot of discussions around this subject lately and oh boy is it a spicy one. It doesn’t help that most of the subreddits I’m a member of are divided neatly down the line here, either (though don’t dare ever point it out). Mostly, this has resulted in some crazy … Read More
