Fat Mogul vs. Independence and Winning and Whatever
I have to admit…I get a little goofy about Independence Day. Always have. I love fireworks, I love cookouts, I love camping, I really love all those pieces that we choose to define ourselves as a nation. I’m actually a pretty huge fan of the idea of independence in general. …

Fat Mogul vs. Burn out
Warning: This rant is quite a bit more rambley and long than usual…and serves very little purpose than to remind myself that I write to battle burnout…it also probably makes very little sense…read with caution As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found that I work better as a running full-steam kind of …

Fat Mogul vs. Book Covers
This morning I’m feeling the need to give some massive happy hugs and whatnot to my graphic designer, Amanda Obenhoffer. You see…she’s the one who makes all the glorious covers for my books. If you’ve ever seen my book and judged it purely by the cover, you have her to …

Fat Mogul vs. #amwriting
Facebook followers know the goods…the first words have been written for The Agora Files Part 2. The first ~1000 words, to be slightly more precise. I actually could have written a heckuva lot more than that. Those first thousand came out simply, and, well, let’s just say that if the …

Fat Mogul vs. The Nightmare
Last night I had a nightmare. I hesitate calling it a nightmare due to the pure absurdity of it all, but from the way my mind reacted to it, I fear that’s what it was. In my nightmare, all of the reviews I had collected for my books were suddenly …

Fat Mogul vs. The Book Release
In my rather short time as a published author, I’ve now reached three truly milestone moments. I consider those moments to be the three times I’ve pressed the buttons stating that my books shall be for sale. (honestly…as you’ll see before the end of this article…they aren’t really all that …

Book Release Announcement: Daddy of the Dead!
I’m so happy to announce that my zombie novella, Daddy of the Dead, is now available for sale on Amazon.com. My little ode to fatherhood comes with a twist…zombies! But first…look at that cover! Amanda Obenhoffer, graphic designer supreme, does it again with something quite simple, yet grandly fetching, and …

Fat Mogul vs. The Re-read
Looking back to the past is always a two-sided coin. One can reflect back with nostalgia, thinking happily about the ‘good ol’ days’ and how you wish you could go back to them and relive some of your favorite moments. Of course, I have a feeling that were you to …
