YouTube Channel Launched!

The Imperial Saga YouTube channel has now launched! Find your favorite videos from the Imperial Saga here, including songs about the continents, readings, and other behind-the-scenes information.

Right now, I have music videos from Kaehlar, Krendia, and Shem available on the channel. Over the next few days, additional music videos from Shem will be added so that there are at least three songs per continents. 

In the future, I’ll also record readings of the books, and I hope to create videos of my writing process and share insights on my books as I continue working on the fourth book, which will be published this year (and hopefully sooner rather than later).

"From the Ashes" tells the story of the fantasy novel Heir of the Continents, the fifth and final book in the Imperial Saga by Anne Winchell. The books are sequential, so please start with book 1, Rise of the Phoenix.

On that fateful day when the Emperor executed her family and conquered her land, Tahirah swore an oath to get revenge. When she faces him, however, her best attempt to take his life fails. Now trapped in an unwanted engagement with him, another side of his personality starts to reveal itself. Her heart is now conflicted. The Emperor can't be left to rule, but does he need to die?

The other continents' resentment continues to grow with Tahirah’s presence, but she has a plan to unite the Empire. Her friends on Tamarud stand ready to help as soon as she acts.  In the final moments, though, her heart wavers. She can rid the world of a tyrant or help him recover his humanity, but one thing is certain: 

From the ashes will rise a new Empire.

From the Ashes
"Echoes of Revolution" tells the story of the fantasy novel Dance of the Empire, the fourth book in the Imperial Saga by Anne Winchell. The books are sequential, so please start with book 1, Rise of the Phoenix.

The Empire of the Seven Continents remains connected through a robust exchange of goods and cultures. Under their Emperor, peace has prevailed, but discontent brews. Princess Tahirah is engaged to the Emperor, a man who devastated her home. The myriad people of the Empire intrigue her as she begins a tour of the continents.

Meanwhile, her friends on Tamarud have sided with an Imperial dragon knight. Their mission: to protect the Empire after the Emperor’s eventual demise. For their mission to succeed, they need Tahirah. To facilitate her mission, they visit the continents in search of allies. The Empire remains fractured in its support of the Emperor. As tensions escalate, the question arises: Will there be a revolution?
