Author of Hunted, The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & The Mage War Chronicles
The Science in my Fantasy Writing As some of you may have seen, I was invited to do an interview with Boomers on Books for their YouTube channel last weekend. I was approached for the interview last Friday, and we had everything set and scheduled to go live the next day. It did not give […]
Current Projects as of March 2021 It’s been a few months since I last posted an update on what I am currently working on, and I wanted to share a few things this week on the blog. The Mage War Chronicles I recently finished writing the first installment of The Mage War Chronicles, titled The […]
The Caein Legacy, Character Profile: Alexander At the beginning of February, I launched a poll on Facebook to help me determine which character profile to release next from my latest series, The Caein Legacy. The results came back with an overwhelming majority (75%) voting for Alexander (vs. 25% for Colin). Alexander is the primary supporting […]

Giving Thanks in 2020 It has been a couple of weeks since I last wrote a post, but I decided to take a bit of time off after the book launch of Hunted in October to work on some other projects. The three months leading up to the launch were incredibly busy for me, in […]
A Week of Fires, Maps, and a Book Release It has been quite the eventful week, and not just in terms of my writing projects. I want to start off with some non-writing news that is important to me. As many of you know, Colorado has had an awful year with wildfires. The Cameron Peak […]
Reader Question: Do you actively go out and seek ideas about which to write or do you rely on life to provide those possibilities? I have been meaning to get to this question for a few weeks now, and am glad that I can sit down and take the time to finally address it. I […]
