Beware the Power of Description — it can make or halt your story
Beware the power of description. It can make or halt your story. I often marvel, and even envy a little, those who can paint a scene with words. I also cringe at those who try and make my eyes haze over, forcing me to skip ahead as the only way to get through and on […]

Review: The Geneva Decision by Seely James
With The Geneva Decision by Seely James, I finally get to review a book in my beloved thriller genre. Though in spots I had some mixed feelings about the story, overall, the author delivers a story lovers of the genre will appreciate. At its heart, this story is also a mystery. Someone is killing people […]

Hopes, Dreams, and Hearts: Keep Them Flowing and Pumping
As a writer, I face no bigger struggle than that of keeping hope alive. Hope that I’ll get an agent, and that she’ll get me a publisher. Hope that I’ll see my book on someone’s bookshelf. Hope that if I self-publish someone will read my stuff, maybe even like it. I suppose most of us […]

To Change the World… Sacrifice

One of those words that makes me scratch my head a little? Sacrifice. Today a certain prominent religion commemorates a famous—or infamous, depending on […]

Feral, Our Cyber World Beginnings, A Preview
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve mentioned that I’m working on Feral, a prequel to DEAD BEEF that sets up the Our Cyber World series.. Why am I writing this story? Well, to be totally honest I first got the idea when a literary agent tweeted that he’d love to get a story about […]

Review: Elysium by Georgia Cline
Elysium comes to us as Georgia Cline’s debut novel. It falls squarely in the Dystopian, Apocalyptic, YA (Young Adult) genre with Science Fiction sprinkled on top. All right, that’s three genres mashed together, so maybe “squarely” is the wrong word. Let’s say it falls in line with a great deal of popular and successful fiction […]

Story-telling’s 3 A’s: about, About, ABOUT
What is this story about? To write it, you have to know the answer to that question. It’s a simple question—deceptively so. But yeah, if you’re going to have any idea of what to write next, and if you’re going to write a semi-coherent story summary blurb, you have to know what the story is […]
