I had a rough night the other night. Ever get woken up with anxiety and then your mind goes places when you’re in that nerve jangling state wishing you could fall asleep again? Well, it made me consider some things I never thought of before.

Since maybe 2016, authors have been told more and more that the publishing world is changing and that they must do a lot more to be a published author, let alone a successful published author even i...

Welcome to Book 2 of Akiniwazisaga.

“The Inheritance Thieves” is the start of a trilogy story arc that expands the whole world of Akiniwazi by introducing more politics and takes you on a long trip through much of the physical world. You learn of the consequences from “A Light Rises in a Dark World” so there will be MILD SPOILERS in this chapter. (Go buy the book and finish it if this matters to you.

You poor readers have been flooded with strange terms and languages in my Akiniwazisaga freebies. Well, I’m going to give you a little more of a freebie and that’s the glossary and notes to help you understand the words, pronunciations and meanings of them. It’ll teach you to cuss like a Viking, too. This will be a compilation of the master list that will cover all 3 novels that are out. That means there will be terms and subjects you haven’...

This is a discussion on a writer’s process. Every writer’s methodology for producing a manuscript to be published is unique. Don’t let anyone fool you and claim to have the one true path to success. They don’t and worse, they’re lying about it probably to get your money. Like the anatomy of a ship, it has certain key elements, but they are not all alike. They must only produce the same results.

I’ll let Jack Sparrow explain. Just replace the “Black Pearl” f...

Back in 1990 or 91, I attended the Chicago Comicon. Back when you still could see some of the mega greats of the day and Image burst on the scene. I was just laid low as an aspiring writer who desperately wanted to get into comic books by a painful fact check that really wasn’t fact.

This was done to me right in front of the late Peter David’s table and he watched me get crushed by the advice from a hot and rising star and got all sorts of pisse...

This is a highly efficient system of satisfying full need and maximal want. The question remains of how does this incredible economic environment arise and what factors are required to maintain it? By its very nature, Afflueconomics are no...
