Darkstone to be Published Soon

DangerBoy Books will be publishing Darkstone: The Perfection of Wisdom sometime over the next month or so. This is a very special book to me that was actually written over a year ago. It is a book that combines my love of Buddhism with my love of superheroes and, surprisingly, manages to do it in […]

New Books: Always Leave You Feeling Unbalanced

So the cover for Close to the Broken Hearted is done and has been for some time. I’m sure you’ve seen it, it’s the opening page of this web site. I absolutely adore it and, once you read the story< .em> you’ll realize it fits the story perfectly. I love everything about the book. I […]

Plotting Mysteries: I Put What Where Why?

This is sort of part two to the blog post I did the other day regarding Police Procedure in writing Crime Fiction. That was just a short post regarding how I sort of graduated from writing very basic police procedurals (my two gothic mysteries, Dream with Little Angels and Close to the Broken Hearted) to […]

Police Procedure in Crime Fiction

When I wrote that book, I knew very little about police procedure. I’d say I still don’t know the majority of police procedure, but I’m picking up […]

Archetype Videos: Threshold Guardians

This is the fifth in my series of videos on archetypes I’m using as part of the class I’m teaching at WVU (Writer’s Village University). You’ll find it at www.writersvillage.com. The class is on Writing the Hero’s Journey.

This video is on the Threshold Guardian Archetype. Again, these are mainly for the class, but I thought I’d post them here too, since some people might get something out of them.

Michael out.
