Pirates and Thieves

We, as writers, have it tough enough. Depending on the writing we do, we work for hours, days, even years to bring to light a single article, screenplay, book. Only to have them stolen by piracy sites like LibGen and others. And now of course, Mark Zuckerberg (for Meta), is the most recent subject ofContinueContinue reading “Pirates and Thieves”

Release Day

After some unavoidable delay, the finale in my Shadow Journey series is finally out. Saying goodbye to these characters is basically like watching your kids grow up and leave home. Sort of. They are, after all, created by my imagination and not my flesh and blood. Even so, I’ll miss them. However, never fear, nextContinueContinue reading “Release Day”

The series finale! Final-ely

It’s been, if not a long time coming, at least longer than I had originally anticipated. But yes, the finale to the Shadow Journey series, In Darkness We Break, is finally releasing on October 15th!

It’s about, well, SPRING and a fulfillment of the next letter in my challenge. The challenge I stood up and declared I would meet. I thought I’d haveContinueContinue reading “F is for Fantasy”

E is for Excellent

Yes, I’m cheating a bit. But I’m also pulling my hair out between writing, marketing, writing, yardwork, writing… Well, you get the picture. At any rate, I came across this article about the uses for silica packs (you know, the little packets filled with silica pellets that come nearly in everything?) to keep them fromContinueContinue reading “E is for Excellent”

D is for Delight

I had another D word in mind when I initially sat down to write this blog. Demented, however, would have been a rather brief but virulent topic. Instead of venting, I settled on something more, well, delightful. Something simple to maybe lift the spirit. First, we’ll start with daffodils, those lovely harbingers of Spring. MineContinueContinue reading “D is for Delight”
