My mom is crazy. My dad was weird. And then I born kinda crazy and kinda weird. I like that!

I was drawn to both writing and drawing as a child, but as I got older, I seemed to gravitate more toward writing. I'm a super lazy guy, so writing just seems to be more instantly gratifying. Drawing is a labor of love, and I can respect that. So have at it, all you drawers out there. I'll just draw with words and laugh at my own jokes. BAHAHA DRAW WITH WORDS!

I have a couple other pet projects I want to get to in due time, but my main baby by far is the Baron Syndicate. If you somehow don't know what that is, it's an overarching book series written by my best friend Neil Miller and myself. Neil is way more handsome than I, but if you ever told him th My mom is crazy. My dad was weird. And then I born kinda crazy and kinda weird. I like that!

If you somehow don't know what that is, it's an overarching book series written by my best friend Neil Miller and myself. Neil is way more handsome than I, but if you ever told him that he would immediately deny it and probably try to punch you in the boob. BAHAHA BOOB!

I love games, movies, and pizza. How generically nerdy of me, but it's true. And by games I don't mean just video games. Card games, board games, pen and ink games, dice games, miniatures games... I really like all kinds of games. My favorite video game? It's close between Minecraft and Super Smash Brothers. My favorite non-video game? Probably Yu-Gi-Oh, but mostly because I grew up on it in high school.

I'm currently studying video game programming in college. When I graduate, I would like to try my hand as an independent game developer, but honestly I would vastly prefer for the Baron Syndicate to be my financial success. At the end of the day, however, between writing books or coding games I'm not in any of it for the money. I just want to enjoy what I do and I enjoy creating stuff. Hopefully everyone else enjoys it enough to give me their money.

Unfortunately I'm married, which gets in the way of a lot of things that I want to do. But my wife makes up for it by loving me unconditionally. ...Yeah, guess that balances things out.

Well, that's me in a nutshell. If you like my work, let me know! I love talking to people about my works and I am always open to new opinions about what I'm doing right and wrong so that I can make better stuff in the future. BAHAHA OPEN TO OPINIONS! ...more

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Bouncing ideas off of him helps about 99% of the time because I have issues with getting lost in the fine details and Neil is very handy for keeping my mind on track. Sometimes he'll have a different vision for the direction the story is going in, and during those times that we can't reach a constructive middle ground I will also consult Super Editor Sean for a second opinion. From there, Neil and I can always reach an agreement on things, even though it might take an hour of bickering to get there.

Another trick I use, which is handy when neither Neil nor Sean are available is to just stop writing. I walk away and ignore that stupid book like it's my wife asking me to take out the trash. Except I listen to my wife, because unlike that stupid book, my wife is more than capable of beating me up. The book can only beat me up on occasion, and it has to be lucky.(less)

Awesome Con! Part 1: Final Preparations

So after getting completely drowned in work, school, and convention-related things, I've finally rediscovered the blog here on Goodreads! I suppose this is as good a place as any to list an account of my amazing, crazy adventure that was Awesome Con! And I don't mean anything like "Oh, it was so amazing, I met so many people, I saw so many things", I mean more like "nothing is going according to p Read more of this blog post »
