I will try rewriting a scene from a different point of view. Or sometimes I have to go back a ways to find where I took the wrong turn. Sometimes I have to take a day off and let the problem simmer in the back of my mind. Sometimes I work on a different project and the solution will come to me.(less)

Sometimes they take the reins and run away from you. Sometimes it works and makes the story better. Sometimes it doesn't and you have to fight with them to regain control.(less)

My Space Opera

My first two books in my space opera series, Crown of Light: Insurrection and Crown of Light: Redemption are available on Amazon Kindle, Kindle Prime, or paperback.
The plan is for a finite series that will end, rather than go on and on and on. This series will be 5 or 6 books.
I have ideas for other books as well, all set in space with interesting characters, human and non-human alike. I have sen Read more of this blog post »

“I COULD HAVE BECOME a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites. It had been well over 35,000 hours or so since then, with still not much murdering, but probably, I don’t know, a little under 35,000 hours of movies, serials, books, plays, and music consumed. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.”
