How to Care For Your Indie Writer
So I’ve received a lot of questions from people wondering what they could do to help me out. I’m going to try and keep this short. It really isn’t that complicated.
1) Buy the book
Obviously, it helps. Not just because you just gave me money, but also because it makes the sales go up. It also really helps with #2 and #3. So if you can afford to and my silly, heart-wrenching sci-fiissomething vaguely interesting to you, you should definitely buy the book.
2) Talk about it.

A Toe in the Amazing Land of Solarpunk
The first time I read the term “Solarpunk”, I got really excited. First before I was struggling to find a genre forViral Airwaves, and this seemed like it might fit (it kind of does). Second because I am a big sucker for steampunk, and for new solar technologies.
Futuristic City that fit the solarpunk genre
But what is solarpunk? It is a genre that reenvisions the future as driven by renewable sources of energy, in eco-friendly and self-sustaining communities.Steampunk had cogs, steam and blu...

New Site, New Book
Hey everyone!
It’s been forever since I last came here, but it is time to (kind of) resurrect this site! Mostly because I want a stable deposit of information on my novels, and infrequent news.

I’ll have news on my very first novel, Viral Airwaves. With links to buy this absolute masterpiece and everything!
Until t...
