“Wake up.” The bard’s eyes fluttered open. It was still dark with just a hint of light around the edges. The forrest was quiet and the pre-dawn air still held on to its evening chill. Already the bard wanted to close his eyes once again and drift back to sleep. A hangover cause such a … More King and Bard (1)
I was lucky enough to have a few readers who nominated me in an online “Best Indie Book of 2017” contest. The bad news is that my book “Sand, Sea and Stone” likely won’t come out until the very end of December. The good news is that it looks like anyone can not in this … More Vote for Me!
AS of a few hours ago, my Indiegogo campaign ended. It’s a weird little flood of emotions. First off: the bad news. I didn’t hit my goal. Yeah, that is a disappointment. I knew from the start that it would be a hard goal to hit. Still, I did have hopes that I would be … More Indiegogo 6: The End

This is going to be a hard post to write. I’m not really sure if it is even a good idea to post this, because it is about one of the hardest aspects of writing for me. Now, for a lot of people one of the difficult aspects of writing is putting yourself out there. … More Indiegogo 3: Writing for Love
As I often moan, I am not the best at marketing myself or at making videos. Those just aren’t skills that I seem to have. But I’m trying. This is the result of longer than I would like to admit. Hopefully it can help fan the flames of interest in my pre-order campaign for Sand, … More Sand, Sea and Stone Trailer
