Last week, I talked about the beginning stages of developing Midnight House into the second book in The Field series. This week, I wanted to talk a little more about pre-writing, how I write, and a little about my drafting process.

Do not judge me as you are reading this personal reflection of me about Canada. You did not experience life as I did in Canada. You do not know what it feels like being Iranian, and people judge you base on your ascribed status. People continuously judge me ba Read more of this blog post »

I have kept my promise to my family and stayed away from my next project until now! I’ve dusted off a planning sheet, which I actually wrote over two years ago, and am making this the basis for my next novel. The novel is totally based around one word, which came to me whilst I […]

I had the most demoralizing thought when I woke up this morning. I turn 28 this year, which means I’m officially the same age as Christian Grey. Our birthdays are even relatively close. I await my $1,000,000,000 check in the mail.

The Googleplex (today – Mountain View, CA) April 2020

I had just made my way through and around the Googleplex, walking the road straddling the Shoreline Golf Course at a good clip, headed towards the Bay, looking ahead for the random mountain bike I might meet that morning.

The Engineer of Evil, the 7th book in my Logic to the Rescue series, is now available on Amazon.

I had several other posts lined up, but I’m going to jump this one ahead.

Like a lot of folks, my practice is if I read the book, I skip the movie; and vice versa. When it comes to a Crossing the Chasm story like True Grit or 3:10 to Yuma, I make exceptions. I’d seen both the original film and the remake when I read Charles Portis’ wonderful book. It’s a credit to the aut Read more of this blog post »
