Who are the Darksiders?

Who are the Darksiders? A very short yet memorable appearance at the end of A Conclave of Shadows has had fans asking me for more information on this group. While I can’t reveal everything about them, they are after all in the final book of the series, The Order of the Fallen, I can give you a bit more information.

A man stepped out, his skin white, almost ghostly, next to black clothes that hugged his taut body. Jet black hair was cut close to his head and his eyes were the color of fresh spi...

Nightshade vs Merric

Nightshade vs Merric, this is something that has been mentioned to me by several readers recently. Who do I like better Nightshade or Merric? That is quite a conundrum for me as I have always enjoyed both characters immensely. Considering that they are in different series and were never in direct competition for anyone’s affection like Slade. I would never have thought I would need to choose between them. But for the fun of it lets go over the two and see where that puts us.

I much more accus...

What is Steampunk?

What is Steampunk? That is one of the questions I get most often when someone asks me about my books. Well that and where do you get your ideas? A drunken fairy delivers them to me at 2:15 in the morning and she is not pleasant. The other question is a tad more difficult to answer. This is the current wikipedia description.

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery, especially in a setting inspired by industrialized Western civilization during...

Research and Settings

Research is both a blessing and a curse for me. I do love do to dig in and research a subject I am going to be writing about. Though I must admit it is rather hard to find materials on ray guns and fully functional jetpacks. But for every fantastical element I need to create, there are several things which I need to research to get right.

Settings is one of the most important aspect of a story and I enjoy placing mine in places I can relate too. So even though the Doorknob Society Saga has spe...

Writing, food porn and getting things done.

Writing can be a terrible mistress. The problem for writers is that you’re always thinking about writing. Even when you’re supposed to be doing other things you think about writing. Washing the dishes, vacuuming, shopping, drinking with friends and on forever, when all you really want to be doing is writing. Or worse yet when you are on deadline and NEED to be writing.

I recently finished writing my latest novella, it involves an entirely new cast of characters and I thoroughly enjoyed steppin...
