Happy Holidays everyone! It's been a very long and interesting year. I've had a lot of good happen, a good bit of bad, but we made it through and it's time to celebrate. And how better for me to celebrate than to put all my books on sale? Through the Lichgate Illusion of Grandeur Devil … Continue reading Christmas Sale and Cover Reveal!

So Long, NaNoWriMo2020
November was National Novel Writing Month. I started an experimental novel on October 21st or so, and now that novel is 58k words, with 42k of them written in November proper. How did I do? Not so great, apparently. I still have time to finish the story, or at least hit 50k words, but it … Continue reading So Long, NaNoWriMo2020
Website Woes / Writing Process
So, I found out yesterday that this website was spotted with ads. I assume it's been that way for years. Every visitor I've had here since day one (who doesn't use adblockers) has been bombarded with random garbage without my say-so. I'm a little horrified. That problem has been fixed. On to less embarrassing things. … Continue reading Website Woes / Writing Process
Devil Game Released!
Two and a half years ago, I started pleasure-writing some weird self-indulgent tale about demons, angels, and sport battles. At the time, I didn't know I'd finish the tale. I didn't know how hard it would be to write, or how much it would mean to me. But now that book is finished! Devil Game. … Continue reading Devil Game Released!
Illusion of Grandeur Released!
It's here! Illusion of Grandeur - Kindle The paperback version will be releasing in the next day or two... I think! Amazon is sometimes weird about things. I love this book, at least as much as the first one. Pierre is such a delightfully strange mind, and I hope his adventure is as fun for … Continue reading Illusion of Grandeur Released!

The book is finally finished, and I couldn't be more proud of it! Illusion of Grandeur is available for preorder now! Illusion of Grandeur follows Pierre Chastain, a teenage illusionist in over … Continue reading Illusion of Grandeur available for pre-order!
A specific note about dialogue tags
A note to other writers. If you ever write a sentence in this format: ["Blah blah blah," he said, doing some other thing.] It would usually be stronger without the tag. Since you have an action that is taking place at the time of the speaking, this is a great place to leave out "said." … Continue reading A specific note about dialogue tags
Monster In My Closet
Happy new year! I've been enjoying the holidays, working on some audio projects, and playing Persona 5. It's been a good season, and I've kept myself busy. I've also been writing. Monster In My Closet, the sequel to my quirky novella Monster Under My Bed, is available on Kindle! I had fun using this story … Continue reading Monster In My Closet
Projects. Projects Everywhere.
And now for your semi-monthly update. What have I been doing since throwing Monster Under My Bed out there? Thus my title. I've got more projects going on than I can juggle. Let's talk about them for a bit, beginning with the ones I'm actually making progress on. Illusion of Grandeur, the sequel to Through … Continue reading Projects. Projects Everywhere.
Monster Under My Bed
That short story I posted a month or so ago? It's a full-fledged novella now. I love the cover art. It was drawn out by Mason "Tailsteak" Williams. Been following his comic art for years, and it was great to have him draw Roger and Mumb for me. Running at about fifty pages, Monster Under … Continue reading Monster Under My Bed
