Author of The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & Wraith and the Revolution
September & October Events: 2025 I have a number of things going on the next two months, most of which were scheduled before the unfortunate news I received from work. But this is a good thing. The book-related stuff takes my mind off everything else for a while, and I think every one of these […]
The Beginning of a New Chapter Sometimes life throws things at you that you don’t expect and can’t plan for. Sometimes you get a little warning ahead of the curveball, and sometimes it comes out of nowhere. But inevitably, those unexpected events lead to decisions, and the bigger the event, the bigger the potential impact […]
The Narratess Sale is back! It’s August, or rather, Indie August, and that means the Narratess indie book sale is back! Over 300 titles are participating, and every one of them will be on sale starting tomorrow (though some are on sale early. As in, today!) All books are discounted to $1.99 or less, so […]
You know you’re starting to “make it” when… (The story of an attempted book cover scam) For those of you who are still hanging around on Twitter/X, you know that there has been a massive influx of bots and scammers over the past few months. It’s gotten to the point that more than half of […]
Marketing Experiments and Learning What Works As I scientist, I look at many things as “an experiment,” even if they have nothing to do with my laboratory. Without experimentation, I’ll never learn what works best and what fails spectacularly. In the lab, there are set standards I have to follow when attempting something new, but […]
Focus Interrupted The month of June has been a bit tumultuous (I like that word, so I had to use it here.) But I wanted to start off this post by saying thank you to everyone who has supported me, my writing, and especially the release of Wraith and the Revolution. It’s a special book […]
June Events I have a lot going on this month, between a book release, livestream appearances, and…well, life in general. I figure now is a good time to share what I have coming up with my readers, since the fun begins on Tuesday. June 10 at 8pm EDT / 6pm MDT: Author interview on the […]
My Plans for 2025 Happy New Year! I hope all you readers out there are doing well. 2024 wasn’t too bad for me, all things considered, but I’m glad it’s over. Mostly, I’m glad the health issues I was dealing with are in the past and I’m thankful I’ve made a full recovery. And I’m […]
A Recap of 2024 This year started out as so many others: I had goals, and plans to reach them. Things were generally good at the start. But life decided to throw a few curveballs my way. I didn’t accomplish as much as I’d planned because of it, but I’m still here, I’m feeling better […]
A.J.’s Completely Random Book Awards: 2024 A lot of bloggers do top 5 or top 10 lists at the end of the year, and after having done that last year, I find I don’t particularly enjoy labeling books as my “top five/ten.” I like so much of what I read that it’s too difficult to […]
