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. I’m linking to the original FileNotFound.Studio post since it explains everything in detail,… Read more →
There’s a new Dev Diary up at filenotfound.studio, this one delving a bit into the structure and rules of the game, at least from a high level. Everything is subject to change due to play testing, and we’ll have our first play test report coming soon, but I thought I’d at least share this latest update for everyone. Read more →
Anyone who knows me knows I love basketball, and my favorite team in the world is the Dallas Mavericks. So if you’ve been keeping up with NBA news recently, you’ll understand why I’m super excited lately. This, along with drafting Luka “my current favorite player” Doncic over the summer, is why my basketball brain is going crazy right now, and… Read more →
I’ve been hinting at this for a while now, and I guess this is as good a time as any to let the cat out of the bag. Patrick, Alistair, and I are creating a card game based on the Rise of Cithria series, in conjunction with FileNotFound.Studio, a creative venture I’m also involved in. Most of the details will… Read more →
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 →

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 →
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 →
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 →
