Dodging Storms, Slinging Spells
We managed to avoid the worst of Hurricane Isaias. Earlier in the week it had been aimed almost directly at my town, and I’d planned accordingly.

And Then a Viking Karl Walked into Publix…
I’ve been spending my Sunday afternoons at a nearby Publix with an upstairs food court, writing before going to get the week’s groceries. There I was, driving through the rain, about to make the turn in, when I see him: a man in a mail hauberk, helmet with a veil made of chain, fur cloak,…

If anyone ever wants to know if a combination flu and stomach virus is fun, I can assure you it is not. Last weekend was… a bit of a waste for my household, in more ways than one. My wife and I were most affected by it. Neither of our daughters experienced the gastric distress,…

Indie Publishers in the Spotlight!
Hard to believe it’s already almost September. We’re just a week and a day away from Labor Day! I’ve got a couple of epic fantasy books that were recommended to me by someone who’s been reading my Necrolopolis stories and thinks they would make for good “comparables” in the querying letter sense.

Musing in the Black Hills, Writings of the Trailer Park Thrills
Well, I’m here. Somewhere in the Black Hills near Deadwood. On a job, a rare one that takes me so far from home. One that lasts all day (14+ hours) for about five days but leaves downtime in the late evenings and early mornings provided I don’t oversleep, which isn’t a problem for me on…

Are We Really in the Middle of July Already?
So it would seem! A lot has happened in just a matter of a couple of weeks. The 250th anniversary of the United States’ birth, LibertyCon, and several book publications before and in-between, and still to come! Somewhere in the midst of all this, I’ve also had some crawlspace issues that are getting dealt with…

LibertyCon Has Come and Gone! ‘Til Next Year!
Another successful LibertyCon is in the bag! Old friendships rekindled; new friendships forged; story ideas blossoming like flowers on the Azalea Trail… I’m writing like I was actually there! I was home sick, but living vicariously through friends and colleagues. Hopefully next year will be the year I finally return. Regardless, it was great to…
