His second novel in the Detective Parks series, Wicked Games, was released in December of that same year. The third book in the series, The Blue Condition, was released in June of 2016.

One of them I had outlined and so while I was stumped on how to finish, say Chapter 10 I knew what Chapter 12 was about so I skipped ahead and continued writing. Eventually, as I continued writing, I came back around and figured out how to fix my problem. My other solution, that I've used a few times, is to put the writing aside for a few days and just not focus on it, or even write on a new project. Eventually I've found my mind to clear up and the solution to come to me. (less)

The first one is the third book in the Detective Parks series (following The Poisonous Ten and Wicked Games). The other book is the first in a new (possibly) ongoing YA series that will also involve a mystery storyline. My hopes is to be completed with the rewrites around the beginning of the new year and to start on my fifth novel (though I haven't decided on which next book in which series to pick up with). (less)

Exploring LA: Watts Towers

One of the things I figure I should be blogging about along with where some inspirational ideas to my writing come from is also some of the local places that have helped inspire my writings as well. One of those is the Watts Towers. I’ve known about them almost since I first moved to LA fifteen years ago and have wanted to visit them just as long. It was only just this last month that I finally di
