This will be my first foray into science fiction, a journey I've wanted to take for some time now. D.J. Olsen is the pseudonym I will be writing under, but you'll still be getting the same, raw storytelling that has always inspired me.
I'll have more info as the year goes on. For now, though, it's back to finishing my Servant's Lament series!

Haliden's Fire - A fantasy Novel
In a world consumed by flames, one man's journey becomes a beacon of hope, challenging fate itself to save both his people and the legacy of their past.
Haliden Stroke, renowned painter of Alimane, once basked in the glow of recognition, wealth, and a serene countryside retreat. But his unrelenting devotion to his craft exacted a profound toll, costing him the greatest treasure of all: his wife, Milane.
Now, as the sinister blaze known as the Breath engulfs the land in its fiery embrace for the first time in centuries, Haliden forsakes everything for a final opportunity to mend his shattered bonds.
But a land fraught with peril stands between him and the chance to reclaim his love. Amidst the chaos, fire-worshipping zealots, beasts, and cunning thieves prey upon those fleeing towards the sanctuary of the Block—a colossal granite bulwark constructed centuries ago to shield the privileged from the ravages of the Breath.
It's within these very walls that Milane, Haliden's beloved, has sought refuge in the arms of a new suitor.
Haliden's odyssey becomes a race against the infernal maelstrom, a perilous sprint through the fires of damnation itself, all in a fervent bid to rekindle the flames of love awaiting him at the precipice of annihilation.

Dregs of the Culver Waste - Book 1
Sand and Scrap
Embark on a perilous journey through a world teeming with action and intricate world-building, where the stage is set for a relentless adventure across the unforgiving landscapes of Retrac Daor.
In the wake of years marked by magical conflicts, the once-beautiful Culver now stands as a desolate, forsaken wasteland—a grim testament to a forgotten past. Yet, within its scorched earth and tainted air, a promise of untold wealth beckons to the intrepid souls willing to traverse its war-torn expanse. Treasures and relics of staggering worth lie within reach, tempting men to stake their very lives in the pursuit of fortune.
Among them is Michael Carter, a figure unyielding in his determination to seize the riches that lay concealed beneath the Culver's scarred surface. Alongside a motley assembly of scrappers, he unearths a chamber veiled in mystery—a discovery that triggers a global upheaval. For within this chamber lies a magical rock coveted by the sorcerous elite of the world, a mineral of unparalleled potency capable of commanding both the earth and heavens.
As the world's gaze fixates on the Culver's hidden wonders, Michael and his comrades are thrust into a breakneck race across the wasteland and an acid-ridden sea, compelled to safeguard the newfound power from those who would exploit it. The destiny of the Culver—and conceivably the entire realm—rests precariously upon their shoulders.
"The dark milieu and the fantastic descriptions of this world where Mad Max meets Dune will leave an indelible impression upon the reader, even the minute details such as the unique words for time such as calls and turns. And as awful as the world is, the curiosity is much too persuasive. It's difficult to let this world go.
Incredibly well written, this is one of the best first novels I've ever come across."

"Sendrowski is highly skilled at creating mood and atmosphere. His planet is populated with horrors that would make even H.P. Lovecraft shudder but also with characters, whether normal human or something else entirely, that have emotions and motivations that are both real and identifiable. Gritty and often violent, his novel is the perfect escape for those who enjoy dark fantasy." - The US Review of Books Full Review...
"Sendrowski's new series is ambitious and unique. The world is vivid, dark, and dynamic. Most of the characters, even secondary ones, have fully fleshed out backstories and motivations separate from the main plot. This lends the story a worn-in feeling, perfect for the start of a series." - IndieReader Full Review...
