2022: Quarter 1

Welcome to Quarter 1 of 2022!

I felt this would be a decent way of giving folks a general idea of what they can expect to see from me every three months. Please bear in mind that this schedule is in no way set in stone, short of a book being available online for pre-order. These are simply my best estimates for how long research, writing, and editing will take on new books, as well as turnaround times for audio recording and mastering.

Night on Blackwell’s Island was a frightening sort of darkness. Shadows were so thick that there was a sort of density to them as they slid between my fingers. Like holding hands with the dead—those who tried and failed for freedom before me. The vestiges ...

Snow & Winter 5 Year Anniversary

Summer always holds two special anniversary dates for my career—June 1st and August 30th.

June 1, 2015 was the release of my very first professionally written and published piece, a short story called Love Has No Expiration.

This past June 1st marked my sixth year as a published author, and while ...
