 I'm about as skeptical as I am excited to have be selected by my publisher as their nominee for an EVVY award. This puts me in a fun position that hopefully gains my debut novel, Theory of the Atheist more traction. That being said, fingers cross and chin up. This will be interesting at the very least.  

 I seem to conveniently on the side of organizations and teams doing some pretty cool stuff. Razor Edge Games-- the company I'm currently writing a game for-- has reserved a spot for our fans and hopeful gamers to view our latest game features.It's going to be hellafun. Find out more here: http://razoredgegames.com/Don't forget to follow the team progress by checking out our news feed. http://razoredgegames.com/news/  

While working alongside Razor Edge Games, I may get to write up an otherworld adventure, epic battles, war, chaos, mayhem, and climate shifts, but the other teams are cooking up the goods. I'm particularly interested in our arms. I mean...they're just so darn pretty!! The sci-fi dweeb in me goes nuts every time our guys crank out a new series.  

Working with the folks over at Razor Edge Games is really paying off. I'm seeing some incredible product being pushed out as we approach a release for our sprawling, post-apocolyptic MMORPG, Epocylipse: The AfterFall.

I think that there's a mixture of frustration and condemnation in me. I certainly can't say that any of this has been what I thought it would be. Looking around my home, my progress, the motions and efforts I am making to further improve upon what I have, and feeling the lack of support featured where I most anticipate it--it's frustrating.  My control freak tells me to be more frazzled. Push harder. Learn faster to better market, best sell, advertise, jump through this hoop, that hoop, hey,

When I first began writing Theory of the Atheist, I actually wasn’t intending Noel to be anything more than an icon that helped the story segue into the needs of the true protagonist; Lain Baular. The best laid plans of mice and men. This daring, emotional female turned into an explosive entity that forced plans into motion in such a way I had no choice but to make her a genuine highlight. She became every bit the budding revolution that Baular had hoped to generate on his own. As I composed her

In between writing the next installment I got picked up by a company called Razor Edge Games. These delightful people are banding together to push out a rather intriguing, post-apocalypse game to be intially released on Steam. Naturally, someone dropped the words post-apoclayse, and I pushed all my chips to the center [poker, learning how to play on weekends with the boys...it has to be an immersive experience because I currently suck at it]. The game is in development stages, so I can't say a
