A Wise Friend
I recently signed up for a lifetime subscription on a course package offered by Dean Wesley Smith on Teachable. Sometimes I just need reminders on my writing and I love the way Dean phrases things. Hes blunt and honest. Dont expect warm fuzzies. I like that. Its an eye-to-eye level approach and I know it Continue reading A Wise Friend

For More Mischief, Listen Now
The long awaited 5th novella of my Loki series has arrived on audio. Its not up everywhere. I have to give a laughable side note here: Ive seen warnings that ingestion of audiobooks at ACX and others are creating temporary delays with getting titles released. Ingestion? What is this? Mortal Engines? Maybe its a throwback Continue reading For More Mischief, Listen Now

A quick note about my free fiction: this is raw draft with little editing. I dont know where the story is going, or if itll even get completed on the blog. But its fun to do.

The Unicorn and the Secret
One question I am often asked is how did Steigan get his unicorn. I’ve always answered that it happened just like the story said it did: Steigan and Martias ran away to “join” the Palin Wars, Martias sprained his ankle, Steigan found Tyana, they got in trouble, they returned home in disgrace. From Steigan’s point … Continue reading The Unicorn and the Secret

Finished a story
I finished a novella length story last night. Now I’m trying to figure out what the title should be. Usually somewhere in writing the story the title comes to me. Not this time. Maybe I’m trying too hard because I know what I want to have in the title but I can’t make it work. … Continue reading Finished a story
