The fourth book commences
There. I’ve just initiated the process for publishing the fourth and the last volume in The Lost Words series. With some luck and hard work on my end, as well as that of my publisher, we should see this book go live in about 3-4 months. Oh, by the way, the book name is The […]

Don’t fall into the trap
Trap? The trap is called the Kevin Smith trap, and what inspired me to write this piece is Kevin’s body horror film called Tusk. Basically, it’s about a guy anatomically turning another guy into a walrus. Are you disgusted yet? Good. How does this relate to writing? Well, I can imagine that once you become […]

Bible & Dragons book is finished!
Another one bites the typewriter. I’m pleased to announce that I’ve completed another novel. It’s a fantasy book, set in Biblical times, with all the lovely cliches you can think of. Heroic warriors, the Book of Revelations, the Number of the Beast, Armageddon, everything, and then some. Plus, there’s a lovely story, too. This one […]

One thing your hero will never do
One of the great challenges writers face is letting go. When you create a new character, you try to make it unique. Colorful. Realistic. And as different from yourself as possible. Otherwise, it just becomes a self-therapy for your alter ego, and your characters all look and behave a very bland and boring same. The […]

A hundred years from now, will anyone read this?
Recently, I started reading a 19th Century novel, The Black Coats: The Parisian Jungle by Paul Feval, and translated by Brian Stableford. Predictably, the book offers a very olden writing style. Omnipotent, with numerousinterruptions from the author slash narrator, and frequent point of view jumps between characters. This makes for a somewhat hectic read. But. […]

What is your favorite fantasy setting?
Admit it, some books are better than others. And not just because a certainauthor makes a better work with words thanhis or her fellow companions. Sometimes, it comes down to a purely emotional reaction to the setting. The Hobbit Shire, the Shannara world, Locke Lamora and his band of thieves. So if you had to […]

Bible and dragons, new book
That’s not actually the title of the book. But that’s definitely the theme of the book. My new book. I wouldn’t call it historical fiction, especially not when you toss in dragons into the bowl and mix it all up. The Book of Revelations, Armageddon, dragons, the end of the world. That’s the basic storyline. […]
