I told myself, and readers of this site, that I would stop plugging Deadly Teoubadours. Partly because I’m tired of flogging it. I’m fairly certain I’ve already convinced those willing to but it because they know me to purchase it. Also, I hope to have a new novel out before summer and I do hope … More Book Sighting in the Wild: Kinokuniya
I’m trying hard to change, but what I’m trying to change might seem like a minor thing. For too long now I’ve been fairly persistent in checking my stats. Several times an hour I’ll find myself pulling out my phone just to see if people are reading my posts. Sure, in the first hour after … More Recovering Stat Junky
I’m in one of those phases again. It seems every couple of months I take a look at myself and where I am at creatively and just wonder “What am I doing?” The answer is never a nice one, because the question is loaded. Objectively I could at where I am at and say that … More The Goblin of Doubt

Anyway, like I said, I think it is pretty fun and want to share it … More Sand, Sea and Stone Excerpt: A Fight Scene
Here we are. It is the beginning of 2017. The morose days of self-reflection that came with the end of the old year are over. Now comes the self-reflection that comes with the new year. The good news is that it is not morose, however it is rather impatient. I know that I am hard … More Feeling Stagnant
We are still in the start of a New Year and the start of another attempt at blogging everyday. So far the results have been pleasing and there have been a few new people clicking on this site. I’m using that as a bit of motivation to introduce myself yet again to the internet world. … More Who I Am
Still at my parents house. Spent the morning looking after my son. The two of us took a long walk together and before the end of it he fell asleep. Now he’s awake and playing with his mother while I sit on the back porch sipping tea and writing this. I can’t help but take … More Resolutions
My latest project, a sequel to Deadly Troubadours, has finished its rough draft and first pass editing stage. It is now out into the world of beta-readers. I’m resisting the urge to rip it open and live inside it. That’s what I’ve been doing since March, except for my time at camp. I can’t decide … More A Break from the Book
