I was having lunch with a friend the other day and after a long winding conversation we ended up talking about my first novel, Deadly Troubadours. What she had to say about it resonated with me and I’m trying to work it out. What better way to work something out than to write it down … More Audience and Tone
I’ve started something new. As of today I have a Patreon account. This is somewhat of a big step for me. Until now I’ve only asked for people to purchase my book, a finished product.

I have 1.5 chapters of a protagonist to write and I will be finished with his storyline. The sequel will stylistically resemble Deadly Troubadours, so many point-of-view cheaters from the main characters’ past plus the current timeline plot. But I’m trying something new. Last time I wrote everything almost at an even pace. I didn’t … More Chapter by chapter
