This category is for anything that I couldn’t think of any other category for. It might be just general thoughts and ideas or other nonsense, which I’m spectacularly good at.
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
It has been quite a minute since I last posted something here. As you may have noticed, things look a bit different around here. I had a nasty bout with some stray virus and found myself with little else to do, so I decided that the old website could use a bit of sprucing up.
It’s been a month since good fortune befell me and my book. There has been a lot of soul searching involved, not just with my literary pursuits, but with DayJob(tm) and my recreational hockey career. I think the best I was able to explain it to Liz was, “There’s nothing wrong, per se, and that’s
Back in June, when I was just getting started with Instagram, I was fortunate enough to have connected with J.V. Hilliard on a random “follow every author” day. As I was going through his posts, I saw that he was connected with Twin Tales Publishing, and that they had started their 2022 Book Awards. They

Most people who know me know that I am no great fan of summer. Maybe my body doesn’t regulate temperature terribly well or maybe I’ve become so acclimated to The Great Indoors that I just can’t deal with it anymore. Whatever the reason, I am quite entirely done with this summer, one of the hottest

I very nearly broke my own rule to keep this blog and site focused on my writing, due to recent events, but I restrained myself and refocused. Of course I have opinions, but a) that’s for another time, another place, and b) I’d rather do something about it than rant about it on a largely-ignored

Today, the family went out to McKay’s Used Books on the west side, and if you’ve never had a chance to go to a McKay’s, make the trip. It’s that cool. It was an absolute ant farm today, though, and our trades took a long time to process, so we had some time to kill.
