New Release: Heart of the King (Khirro’s Journey Book 3)
Everything must come to an end… One of my writer friends (the very talented Martin Crosbie) recently blogged about post-publishing depression. It’s not something I normally experience because I usually have so many projects on the go that, by the time I’m publishing one, I’m deep into another, but I have to admit to feeling mixed emotions as [...]

On Finishing and Making Friends
So far in my writing career, I’ve never stared into the blood-shot eyes of being finished something. Complete. Sure, I’ve finished short stories and released them into the world, never to think about their characters again, but the time and emotional investment in a short story is minimal compared to writing a novel.

Proud Papa…Part 2
Back in November, I did my first Proud Papa post. If you didn’t just follow that link, I’ll tell you that it was inspired by my 11-year-old daughter’s decision to take part in Movember to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer research and men’s mental health issues. She ended up raising $500 herself, and then won [...]

Welcome to 2013
The holiday season is behind us. Gifts were given, parties attended, celebrations celebrated and resolutions made. I know for a fact it’s done, because today I took my Christmas tree to be recycled and tomorrow (Monday) my daughter heads back to school. There are no surer signs of the close of the yuletide season. I’ve [...]
