It was a few years back that Brigid (my daughter) introduced me to My Chemical Romance. She did this by having me sit through the full Black Parade album. It was not a hardship. I came away impressed. Both lyrically and musically, this was a band doing some pretty amazing things. Still, I am more […]

I’m a couple days late dropping this here, but I’ve released my “latest” episode of “It’s Just Me In Here” (#6!). IJMIH is my (generally 20 minute or so) chat about what I’m up to as well as thoughts on something about the world of an Independently Published writer. You can find past episodes on […]

The world is full of messages. You know what I mean. Do this. Don’t do that! You really need to buy this cool tooth whitener. Whatever. Everyone wants to tell you how to do something or another.

The publishing world today seems to revolve around these things, which, in my mind, until recently, were the classic […]

The upcoming Kickstarter release of the 10th anniversary edition of my fantasy series, Saga of the God-Touched Mage. Has been sucking up soo much of my time this recent past, but it’s been a good … um … well … never mind. I’ll be talking about God Mage, which is book four, in a moment. […]

If you follow me at all, it’s obvious that I’ve been putting a ton of work into a super-cool 10th Anniversary release of my Sage of the God-Touched Mage series. The expectation is that the initial release will be via a Kickstarter project starting on July 15th (see the preview here), with the full wide […]

I’m still all hopped up about the upcoming Kickstarter release of the 10th anniversary edition of my fantasy series, Saga of the God-Touched Mage. I’ll be yammering on a bit about Rogue Mage, which is book three, in a moment. But for now, you can check out the Kickstarter Preview here: Get Notified! As with […]

I’m going to ramble a little about Champion Mage in a sec, but if you’ve been around here for just the past two weeks, even, you know that I’m all hopped up about the upcoming Kickstarter release of the 10th anniversary edition of my fantasy series, Saga of the God-Touched Mage. You can check out […]
