Play Test Leads to Play Mess

Okay, I reached a bit on that post title. It’s not like I’m a professional at this whole writing thing. All jokes aside, the play test for the Cithria Card Game happened a few weeks back and I wanted to keep everyone updated on how that went.

Building some buzz

Olympia – 2017 Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Novel

I mentioned earlier that I had another award to announce, but couldn’t because of an embargo on PR. 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 →
