New Upcoming Fantasy – The Myth of Kalvartr

I'm switching from adventure to fantasy over the next few months. I'll be writing (really re-writing) a new fantasy book called The Myth of Kalvartr. It will be high fantasy, involving swords, magic, castles, and curses. I already have the cover art for it. Check it out and let me know if it's good/you like [...]

The Amazon Issue with Author Reviews

I was completely blind to this at first, thinking to myself, "I hope I get good reviews and lots of people enjoy my book!" It never actually occurred to me to write my own review on my page. Why would it? For many other authors, though, it simply isn't the case. What I'm talking about [...]

I love the characters and the things they say. The world is colourful and full of life. You get a sense of wanting to be there too, [...]

Sherlock Holmes

A little late to be posting about this, but I finished the very first Sherlock Holmes book not too long ago. I've always been a fan of Sherlock (even without reading the books) and decided to buy the first adventure in the series. My fandom began when I watched the old cartoon show, "Sherlock Holmes [...]

"Give me the -er- beach boys!" and Other Messed Up Lyrics

  Today isn't exactly the best day for me. Woke up and found out my 10 yr-old puppy died. Very sad. But I will try to write, as usual, and trudge on through the day. *** We've heard a lot of music over the years, some good, some … not so good. Then there were [...]
