But in… Continue reading Airports Are Comfort

I write books. Sometimes people enjoy them.
Progress Update: The Willful Inheritor
The third and final book of The Vacancy Series is nearing completion. I'm pretty far behind my own timeline (disappointed in myself there), but it will be out before year's end, so that's something! I'm getting some feedback from beta readers on the first 2/3rds of the book, and I just worked out most of… Continue reading Progress Update: The Willful Inheritor
September 2021 Newsletter
The first of the fall newsletters for the year went out yesterday, and you can catch up with it here and grab all the free goodies and deals included. In the September 2021 issue, I included a tiny life update, or rather a look back at past falls, and a tiny excerpt from The Willful… Continue reading September 2021 Newsletter
#1LineWed – Theme: Peace
Malachai returns in The Willful Inheritor, but of course he does! (Coming soon!)
Some Sights from NH and MA
I'm visiting my family of origin for the first time in two years (thanks, plague), and I just wanted to share a few photos of some neat stuff! I assume this is a scouting troop project. A lake. The northeast has more marshy land than one would expect. Theoretically, I love a swamp. Glenn Ellis… Continue reading Some Sights from NH and MA
Focusing On The Good

I've seen a lot of great reviews for every book I've put out so far. Now, my version of "a lot" is nothing compared to other authors, but… Continue reading Focusing On The Good
#1LineWed – Theme: Sword
Do any of these words make sense to anyone else? No? Well, that's fine, they make sense to me! This is from Throne in the Dark, a fantasy series I'm releasing in 2022.
Getting There
I've rewritten this blog about four times this morning because I've got the desire to put some feelings out there, but I'm not sure what those even are. I woke up about an hour ago with this overwhelming wave of melancholy that I need to rinse off with words. Cast off the ick, throw it… Continue reading Getting There
#1LineWed – Theme: Isolation
Had a long chat about character arcs with Hubs last night and how to best highlight someone having to face their fears and change for the better. He had some great and funny ideas, and even though he hates Conrad, he came up with a pretty good line for the guy that was even more… Continue reading #1LineWed – Theme: Isolation
Do You Love Writing?
Or do you just love the idea of being a writer? The struggling, dejected, starving, tormented artist isn't just a trope, it's practically a rule. With writing specifically, many will tell you how much they actually hate the work. I'm sure I've said it and even written it plenty of times myself. And to be… Continue reading Do You Love Writing?
