After discovering that self-publishing was a valid and attainable way to release books the world opened up to me. Suddenly it was a matter of WHEN and HOW I wanted to put work out. There were several options out there but the one I went with was Amazon's Create Space, a self-pub platform that put… Continue reading FLASHBACK – Red Dreams

FLASHBACK – This Beautiful Darkness
The time between the release of Back From Nothing and its follow up seems like an eternity. After releasing my first book I had the sudden realization of...OK, now what? Now what, indeed. It's all well and good to want to get a book out and to accomplish that, however you do it, but then… Continue reading FLASHBACK – This Beautiful Darkness
FLASHBACK – Back From Nothing
Let's travel back in time to where everything began, my first book - Back From Nothing. I was in my late teens when I really became serious about writing. I had joined some friends in working on 'zines and was writing my own stories. I fell in love with story writing as an early teen… Continue reading FLASHBACK – Back From Nothing
An Ode To The Paperback
I feel a little behind on this one as I missed Paperback Day, an annual appreciation of the paperback book, but I feel like there’s still something I wanted to say about it. As someone who is the child of readers and who grew up a reader there is something utterly wonderful and convenient about… Continue reading An Ode To The Paperback
Sit Back And Relax
Man alive, sometimes I wonder why folks even call themselves fans if they are so consistently angry and upset about the things they ‘love’. So many INSIST that their beloved source of fandom has betrayed them and the legacy of that property. WHAT HAVE THOSE MONSTERS DONE? Take the newest Star Wars films and how… Continue reading Sit Back And Relax
Do You Remember Falling In Love?
I tend to wonder anymore if we remember what it was like to fall in love with the things we love. In our rush to have everything at our fingertips at all times I think that convenience has made us lazy in how we consume the things we get an itch to hear, read, or… Continue reading Do You Remember Falling In Love?
Another RELIQUARY IN BLACK Sample
I love this book. It's so big, and sprawling, and weird, and I wanted to give it another push because not m any folks have gotten a chance to experience it. This is a passage from deep into the book, nearing the climax. This is our main character, PuerDi, the child of two celestial beings,… Continue reading Another RELIQUARY IN BLACK Sample
Wheels Keep Turnin’
These are strange times, to be sure. Unprecedented times. These are the times people will talk about in the future the way we talk about the Great Depression. They will speak of it in a dreamy sort of wonder at how it could have happened and why it happened and ponder how people survived. I… Continue reading Wheels Keep Turnin’

Next. – a blog
Next. That's what it's felt like for me over the past few months, maybe couple years. NEXT! I have written a LOT over the past couple of years. I have written, maybe five books, put out about four, or more. I dunno. I could look but don't WANNA. As of yesterday the newest book is… Continue reading Next. – a blog
The Trend
I don’t think I am different from other writers in wondering what it is that sets what I write apart from everyone else. You know, what makes MY writing MINE. I can stab at some of the ideas and themes, family, faith, death, revenge, the old favorites. I deal with small towns more than cities,… Continue reading The Trend
Station Break
Hey there, friend and pal. Hey there, indeed. This is just a brief interruption of your usual spoonful of sugary sweetness wrapped up in a blog or review to mention my fictional exploits. As I mention from time to time. I am a writer. Author, if you will. I have written and published over twenty… Continue reading Station Break
Ya Get What Ya Get
I woke up in the middle of the night last night and reached out to a friend via text to check to see if he had finished reading the most recent book I finished. He’s always been a sport about reading these alpha books and giving me the vibe from them. Last I had known… Continue reading Ya Get What Ya Get
