The Best Laid Plans

If this month had gone according to the plan I laid out for it back in March or April, I would be writing this from a hotel room in Grand Junction, Colorado, on my way to an in-person Fantasy Thriller workshop in Las Vegas. But to paraphrase a saying I’ve heard...

Six-fingered typing…

…isn’t so bad. I do feel like I’m kinda stumbling along, especially when I go looking for the [Shift] key on a combo I would’ve done with just my left hand last week. But one the whole, it’s not so bad. I am no orthopedist, but I feel...

Well, this was unexpected…

The evening of July 4th, we had a lovely thunderstorm. In addition to the extra water in the stream in front of the house, though, Mother Nature was kind enough to provide a power outage, too. No big deal, though… we have a generator. It’s a pull-start at...

The Fall of Skullkeep: It’s Alive!

Well… today has been a publishing day. Matter of fact, it’s looking like this week (July 2nd – 8th) will be a publishing week. The simple news is that I have Skullkeep up for pre-order on several sites. Visit its book page on Knightsfall Press to...

30 June 2023

I should probably work on coming up with better titles for these updates than simply the date. But for the moment, it works. I feel better right now than I have since at least Monday… possibly before. I wrote a post on the 26th about my encounter with...

My Favorite Authors

No Good Deed…

“Goes unpunished,” right? That is how the old saying goes. I suppose it’s true enough. The other evening, I was coming home from… well… I can’t remember where now. It’s been a week-ish? Maybe? Anywho… I popped around a...

24 June 2023 – General Update

Hello, there, I hope the days have been treating you well. I was chatting with a cousin for a few minutes earlier this evening, and one of the threads in the conversation reminded me it had been a while since I’d posted an update. That particular thread in the...

Back on Patreon

Hello! I hope the days have been treating you and yours well. It’s been a little bit of a busy weekend for me. If you want the TL/DR… I’m back on Patreon with a new model and over 300,000 words of new fiction (including the complete, unedited text of...

3 May 2023 – Random Thoughts

My mind has been a bit splintered since I woke up today. that doesn’t happen often, but when it does, my thoughts are even worse than a super-bouncy ball inside a Plinko machine than they usually are. It has the potential to make writing rather challenging,...
