Lately, I’ve been on a social media break, because I wanted to spend some time on my editing and a new project I’m doing for my good friend and author, Stacey Walker. Both of those things have been going well without the constant pressure to post over and over on Facebook and Instagram; in fact, […]
Yes, it was GalaxyCon Richmond this time, and there was absolutely no sophomore slump here. It was every bit as engaging and fun as Columbus was, and this one had some additional benefits to boot. Yes, my wife and daughter were with me at Columbus, and they came to the con on Saturday, but this

It has really taken me a while to process everything and, frankly, to make sure I wasn’t going to succumb to Con Crud. When you first really think, “Hey, maybe I’ll become a successful published author,” there are things that you imagine as parts of what success looks like. Book tours, jetting across the country,

Really, it wasn’t how I wanted to start my day. First of all, let me say how excited I am to be participating in the Pop-Up BookShoppe at GalaxyCon Columbus. To be there with so many famous names and faces, not to mention some other fantastic authors, is a great honor. I’m thrilled to have

I’ve been really quiet lately, and it’s somewhat on purpose. I’m trying to launch the book on November 7th, but I’ve been struggling mightily. There have been issues with every format, and several of them still aren’t sorted for sure. I’d hoped to get pre-order links up in the retailers, but very few of them

I’ve been thinking again about life, the universe, and everything. I’m closer to 50 than not, and it’s only natural to think about what was or could have been as you approach another milestone. I was reminded of an old blog post I made on another site years ago, and thought about it again this

Hey everyone. Sorry it’s been like 3 months since I posted anything new here. It’s not for lack of trying. I’ve had two posts lined up, but then rambled away from the point and ended up trashing them. Let’s hope the third time’s the charm. I’m probably going to delve into some controversial takes here,
Last week, for Spring Break, I went back to my literal ancestral home for a few days. Seriously, my parents have lived in this house for 46 years this month. For my daughter, Mimi’s house might as well be Disney World. While we were there, Dad asked me to come out to the barn and

I’ve had some time this weekend to sit down and work on my WIP for a bit. It actually felt pretty good considering how last weekend went. It helps that I’m feeling a bit better. What has vexed me lately is that I have two really good story arcs, but I can’t seem to place

This past weekend, I went to Asheville, NC for my 3-day writing retreat. It went…not how I expected. That’s kind of an odd thing to say, because I didn’t really know what I expected, but I’m pretty sure this wasn’t it. The one thing completely positive thing I will say is that Asheville never disappoints
