Fat Mogul vs. The Pursuit of Being Right
I have a rather eclectic group of family and friends, all coming from quite diverse backgrounds and all having incredibly different opinions and life, the universe, and everything. I love it. I really do. Yet sometimes, I find it rather depressing as well. You see, there’s a growing trend I’ve …

Fat Mogul vs. July 14th
Yep…still July…still the mushiest month… 7 years ago this very day marked a day I really would have never expected to come…my wedding day. When I met my wife, I was not thinking about long term relationships, in fact, I was attempting to stay away from any sort of romantic …
Book Review: Cold Trap by Jon Waskan
For the first time ever, Goodreads followers actually have the upper hand here. They would be the ones already aware of how this book came into my hands. To make a not-so-long story short, someone found me as a regular reviewer on Amazon and asked me to review their book, …

Fat Mogul vs. The Five Year Old
DISCLAIMER: July is the mushiest of months…this post officially starts that troublesome time of the year. It finally happened…my daughter, as of today, has reached the half-a-decade milestone. She’s a whole hand old and, well, it makes me feel as though a certain part of my youth is gone. I …

Daddy Featured in V1
Just a quick note to highlight the fact that Daddy of the Dead had a beautiful little feature article appear in the Eau Claire Arts Magazine, Volume One, today. You should really go check it out…or pick it up, you know, pretty much anywhere in town.
Fat Mogul vs. The Race!
It finally happened, boys and girls (mogulinas and mogulritas?….no, I don’t think so), my family finally got me to run. Last night, I ran the half-mile kids race (with my kids, duh) for the Just Us for Justice Run here in shiny Eau Claire. I don’t like to think I’m …

Fat Mogul vs. The Photo Shoot
I know I just rather recently expressed my love for my graphic designer and how amazing she makes all my books, so I’ll try to keep this from just being yet another love-fest for Amanda Obenhoffer and her cover-creating skills. Instead, I’ll talk about how weird it is to do …

Fat Mogul vs. Vacation Recovery
It’s a rather well-known concept, the idea that coming home from a long time away causes the vacationer to have to spend even more time recovering from the vacation…you know, take a vacation from the vacation so as to finally feel fully relaxed or whatever. This is especially true for …

Book Review: Erasmus Hobart and the Golden Arrow by Andrew Fish
I know what you’re thinking…sheesh, this guy disappears for over four days and when he finally comes back, he gives us a crappy book report? Well, all I have to say to that is, expect another one soon, suckers, because I like to read when I’m hiding in the middle …

Fat Mogul vs. Administration
In case you weren’t aware, I’ve been hard at work putting together the early chapters of The Agora Files Part 2 for the past week. Unfortunately, hard at work means that I’m a mere 5,000 words deep. This isn’t for lack of imagination. No, in actuality, I’ve been struggling to …
