Good Afternoon, Readers and fellow Wordsmiths:
Alas - the rain is pattering and the thunder is growling, but the tune is a merry one indeed. I've always been fond of a bit of a storm. There's something whimsical to it - despite the crackling thunder. It's almost as if it means to put on a show - as if its pounding temper were just a facade for its overall purpose: holding a beat for the music of Nature. Regardless, I've a pot of tea in hand (though I don't drink tea), a cozy blanket or t...

Guest Post: World-building and Things Readers Never Need to See

BlogTalkRadio: Authors of "One" Unite!
Greetings! And a fine day indeed~
I was honored to be a part of a blog-talk radio show today, hosted by Giovanni Gelati, in which various authors who wrote pieces for Mark Miller's One anthology got together to answer some questions: from forces that inspired their writing and creativity - to fun icebreakers, such as their favorite restaurants. Not all of the authors from the One series were able to participate, but in all, I believe there were about ten participants. I was honored to be a par...

Greetings, All!
As a special treat for this Friday morning, the talented Bobby Nash has graced our presence with an exciting guest post!

New Release: Empyreal Fate (Ebook Version)
Good Morning:
It's official: Empyreal Fate is now released for Kindle! (The print version will be available in 2-4 weeks). I still cannot believe the time has finally come. As I mentioned elsewhere, it feels as though I'm floating in a fog... though the colors are beautiful. What a perfectly marvelous way to greet the morn!
Amazon: Empyreal Fate

Character Interview and Guest Post
G'Evening, Universe:
Well, my friends - this is it. Almost. Either tonight or early tomorrow, my fantasy novel - Empyreal Fate - will be released as an ebook (followed by print next month) through Hydra Publications. I cannot believe the time is nearly upon us; it is breathtakingly surreal. Though - I shan't quite believe it until I'm holding the print version in my grasp, you know? It will be a feeling unlike any other, I'd imagine. And I cannot wait to be a part of that glorious sensation! A...
