Somehow, it’s almost time for Thanksgiving. This year has gone by in a blur of writing, releases, and covers. Soon we’ll be saying goodbye to 2018 and beginning a new year. Naturally, that makes me think about what I’ve accomplished this year, and what I hope to do next year. I put out a lot […]

Dodging Fate released yesterday, and I thought I’d share a snippet of it here. Though I always infuse some humor in my writing, these stories were my first exercise in going full comedy. It turns out that writing comedy is harder, but also more fun. Plus, I’ve grown to really love these characters, who are […]

  Hello, readers, followers, and random happened-upon-this-page-somehow-ers. It is officially 2018, and I’m about to embark on the annual tradition of writing 2017, crossing the 7 out, and replacing it with 8, at least until February. Maybe March.   I don’t post to my blog that often anymore, because every word I blog is a […]

I forgot about posting a snippet last week! Time went by so fast that Friday didn’t even register. There’s always so much to do and so little time! But I’ve got a sneak peek for you today. It’s of my most recent release, Selling Out. If you like crooked space types, mercenaries, and a general […]

It’s Friday, and I feel like some humor. I’m sharing this snippet of the Dodging Fate series, which is currently available exclusively as part of the Pew!Pew! series. If you like redshirts, humor, and sci-fi, check it out. More Pew!Pew! is on its way. So far, I’ve written three novellas in the Dodging Fate series, […]

  Here’s Fun Friday #2! It’s funny how fast a week can go by. I feel like I just posted the last one. Since I started with Translucid, it only makes sense to show a snippet of Fragments today. Again, it was tough to find a scene that doesn’t give away any major spoilers, but […]

  Happy Friday! It’s been a while since I posted to the blog, so I thought I’d start a new weekly snippet feature. I’ll post up a peek at a book and you can see if it’s something that interests you. I’m going to start this off with a peek at Translucid, which is the […]

Times change, and the way we consume media has to change with them. Who wants to deal with commercials, pre-empting, and hiatus when on-demand television is available? There’s a lot to recommend on-demand watching. Along with the above, on-demand shows can offer niche stories that network broadcasting wouldn’t support, which means more opportunity for creative […]

Hey, all! Just a quick post. This has been a crazy busy week, as release weeks tend to be. But the good news is that Coalescence is doing well, and I have more releases planned for this year. In the meantime, I’ve joined up with a bunch of great authors for a giveaway of free […]
