I read a ton of books, mostly at lunch on my Kindle. It’s my way of escaping the work day grind and restoring a little of my soul. But it’s rare that I read a book that moves me enough to really want to talk about it. Sometimes it’s because the story was outstanding (The First Fifteen Lives of Harry… Read more →
First of all, yes, that’s a picture of a pug puppy. It’s a long-established fact in the marketing world that pictures of puppies bring in customers/viewers/clients, and when that puppy is a pug, well, take that number and add a gazillion to it. My site could use a bump in readership, so just to forewarn you, I’ll be posting a… Read more →
First of all, yes, it’s been well over a year since I’ve posted anything on this site. Having a toddler who is also a productivity vampire will do that to ya. But, it’s a new year, he’s off to a new school, and I have a few minutes to actually post an update, albeit a short one. The tldr; version… Read more →
I’m looking to capitalize on all of the great Olympia buzz recently so I spent a few days working on a new ad. I doubt anyone regularly reading my blog here needs any motivation to go and get a copy, but maybe your friends and family do! If so, tell them what a great read this book is and get… Read more →

Well, the embargo is lifted and I’m free to announce that the Texas Association of Authors has named Olympia as one of the TxAuthors Best Book Award Winners for 2017, capturing the best Sci-Fi/Fantasy book category! In the late 21st… Read more →
It’s been a little while since my last post, but I guess this is a pretty good one to start back up with. I’m proud to say that one of my books has received a couple awards. I’m technically not allowed to announce the second one until next week, but the first one is the Shelf Media Notable 100 Books, a… Read more →
I always enjoy finding articles from established writers responsible for some really cool stories… in this case, the guy who created one of my favorite shows – Avatar: The Last Airbender. The link below is part 1 of a three part series of posts showing the process for how he (along with the other writers/creators of the show) broke down… Read more →
The other day I posted a screenshot proving that there are Cithria Book 5 words happening as we speak. The book is coming, even if I can’t say exactly when (although I hope by early 2017). But anyone who knows me knows I’m always in the middle of about 5 different things at a time. That’s where Divinity comes in.… Read more →
Hmmmmm….. Read more →
You may have noticed that I’ve been posting weekly chapters for a short story called Nightmare, set in the world of Rise of Cithria. Now that the story is complete (well, part 1 at least) I wanted to make it easier for new readers by consolidating all the Nightmare links into this one post. If and when a part 2 comes,… Read more →
