A generally creative type, a lifelong interest in writing became a greater focus when a short story spawned a sequel… and another sequel… and a prequel. Fleshing them out and cleaning them up eventually became his first novel, Lifehack.

I have some pretty big reveals that will surprise a lot of people..... some of which could have been guessed, and have been hinted at strongly... others.. not so many hints.

The series I'm planning after Rubberman is wrapped up will be a spinoff from the last book in my LIfehack series, Echoes of Erebus. The new series will follow what Sarah Hartford does after Echoes, and will be called Daughter of Erebus.

I've laid down some bare groundwork on that, and a scene or two that bugged me to be drafted. Unlike my previous series', this will follow Sarah from book to book.

The LIfehack series is all in the same world, following continuity, but has different protagonists and very different feels between them... with cameos to keep tabs on people. The Rubberman series follows people a LITTLE more closely from book to book, but Daughter of Erebus will be focused on Sarah, a little more serial-like... a little. Each will still be readable separately, but will build one overreach narrative still.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Just a bit of a flashfic ... spicy! AND NO CHICK!

I just had a lil idea after dinner the other night, and popped out 500 words...

omfg. AI art is SOFA KING STUPID. I asked for a dozen variations of spicy pepper, hot pepper, and it always gave me a hot chick. This was "Jalapeno monster". She has nothing to do with the story. I wanted a literal anthro pepper. I'm including this just to bitch about it. I know if I found the right tool, and had th Read more of this blog post »
