Raised on a steady diet of Star Wars, cowboy movies with his great-grandfather, and lots of pretend, E.W. Pierce developed an early interest in the making of make-believe. He discovered the fantasy genre via the Dragonlance novels, and shortly thereafter, was introduced to the tabletop roleplaying game Dungeons & Dragons. His world was never the same.

Clockwork Scoundrels 2 – Out Now!

The next episode in the saga of Captain Locke and her crew is available at Amazon!

clockwork scoundrels 2

They thought the Fog would provide an escape. They were wrong.

It has been three weeks since the Misty Morning departed Alterra. Her instruments erratic and unreliable, the airship has become lost to the confounding mists. Supplies are dwindling and the crew is growing edgy.

It seems a great boon w

The Armored Saint by Myke Cole

Interesting premise and world building can’t overcome pedestrian prose and an infuriatingly stupid main character. The whole thing feels juvenile and lackluster. Were it not for the short length, I probably wouldn’t have finished reading it.

Seth Godin
“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don't need to escape from.”
― Seth Godin

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”
― Ira Glass

George Lucas
“Not a more wretched collection of villainy and disreputable types exists anywhere on Tatooine.”
― George Lucas, Star Wars: Trilogy - Episodes IV, V & VI
