Dawn of The Bone Prophet

Yay! It’s (finally) Samhain!

You might know it better as Halloween or All Hallow’s Eve. No matter what you call it, it’s still the best day of the year for me. Samhain also happens to be my New Year’s Eve. So tomorrow, November first, be the very start of my new year. To celebrate the occasion, I’m having a sale on The AEON Files. You can get the whole series so far for just half the price. All you have to do is use these coupon codes:

The Demon Within – FT95Y

Paper, Demons, and… Birdhouses?

Another Monday has arrived. I can’t believe how fast the week has flown by. I’ve been so swamped with my work recently that I didn’t even watch the latest Dragonball Super episode yesterday. I know; that’s very odd of me. Don’t worry though, I got caught up on episode 63 this morning (Trunks vs jigsaw puzzle).

So what have I been working on to make me so busy?

There was the outline of The Bone Prophet (AEON book 4). By “outline” I mean I basically pre-write the whole book in a very detailed s...

Up to My Eyebrows in Creativity

Evil Monday strikes again! But I promised myself that I’d write a post every Monday, so I guess it’s not totally evil. And my favorite holiday, Hallowmas, is on Monday this year. After that we’re in November, when I’ll be challenging myself once again with NaNoWriMo.

NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, when writers all over the world are challenged to write a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. This year, I’ll be working on The Bone Prophet (The AEON Files, #4). You can keep track of my prog...

Psychotic Muse Strikes Again

If you’re on my personal Facebook friends list, you might already know the news I’m about to break. Of course, that’s only if you were awake at 2am (UTC -6) this morning. Don’t worry, the news isn’t particularly bad.

Before I get into it, let me fill you in on a little something.

As some may know, The Demon Within started out as just a one-off with no plans for any sequels. Then I got the idea of putting werewolves in Ancient Egypt from a friend, and thus The Lycan Pharaoh was born. It was at...

The Bone Prophet: A Glimpse into Book 4

I’m enjoying today’s creativity. I just came up with the full name of the AEON acronym. It’s: Arcane Entities Opposing the Netherworld (you think it would have been obvious, really). Why didn’t I have it sooner? Honestly, I hadn’t really thought about it. I know I previously stated that AEON was once called SEANCE after the founding members of the agency. It was later renamed to AEON, which is in reference to a guardian spirit.
I also finally have a name for the Netherworld’s ag...

Mabon – The Story Behind The AEON Files

Current Weather: Rainy and 53
Current Song: “Ghost of a Rose” by Blackmoore’s Night
Current Mood: Pensive

Today I celebrate Mabon (may-bon), the second of three harvest festivals on the Pagan/Wiccan calendar (yep, I’m Pagan). It is the time to express gratitude, share the harvest, complete projects, and honor a moment of balance. I guess you could say it is rather like Thanksgiving on the autumnal equinox.

But what does this have to do with The AEON Files?

Well, not only is the main characte...

Autumn’s Eve

Current Weather: Sunny and 71
Current Song: “Them Boys” by Brantly Gilbert
Current Mood: Creative

Ahhh. Autumn. The crisp air. The painted leaves. Bonfires and apple cider. Candied apples and carved pumpkins. The decorations and, of course, Hallowmas. It’s my favorite time of year. It’s also the time of year when the Veil between this realm and the Spirit Realm is at it’s thinnest and spirits of the ancestors return to earth for that single, hallowed night.

See where I got the inspiration for...
