I won't tell you what color we painted the house yesterday, but I may take to calling the place Grey Havens, and change my name to Cirdan. It has been a lengthy project -- and it's not yet complete as we still have all the trim to do. I am entirely responsible for the great color which the neighbors admire because I let my wife and daughter make the color selection. Lacking both freakish height

It's official - I'm now a YouTube sensation, internet influencer, and author of renown -- or perhaps I exaggerate. Probably the latter. The facts are these: Saturday at 2:pm MDT I went live on Facebook and You Tube in an interview with A.F. Stewart on her program Between the Pages author interview. She fed me a few questions that allowed me to ramble on for about twenty minutes about myself and

Someone posted this rating (but no written review) for my new book Clamorous Harbingers:
A written review would have been nice, but I'll gladly take every 5 star rating that comes my way. I only need about a thousand more of these.
In related news, someone else, a young man of 15, got a paperback copy of Clamorous Harbinger's last night, and had read all three hundred pages by this morning

Some movies, the best movies, demand an investment not only of time and attention, but of something more, a unique sort of currency, a shaving planed from the heart--all thin, translucent, and curling like a Christmas ribbon--but still attached at one end. If one dips the end of the heart-shaving into the emotional waters of the movie, it becomes a fleshy conduit connecting the viewer with the

Best Flintlock Fantasy
What makes a book a flintlock fantasy? How is it different from gunpowder fantasy?
Flintlock fantasy, as I understand it, designates a genre defined by a certain level of technological advancement in the mundane weaponry, as opposed to ancient or medieval weapons as seen in classic, or high fantasy. The flintlock saw roughly two centuries of use, from the early to mid

The Fight for Princess Jedah Siroth of Melihum
The servant to the Prince of Dozanga gasped, his eyes wide in surprise at the dagger between his ribs. Princess Jedah Siroth of Melihum let her hand slip from the dagger's handle in the same moment that his hands reflexively clutched at the weapon. She placed both palms against her kidnapper's side and shoved him over the edge of the small flier.

A Lunch in P-Town
I had come to town for a conference. It wasn’t just any
town. It was P-town rising from the shadow of the mountains. It was the
bustling university town below the humongous white letter plastered upon the
slope, shouting its endless interrogatory. It was DJ’s P-town. Sure, plenty of
authors and wanna-be writers inhabited the P-town hood, but I knew only one of
them
