The Worldbuilder Diaries: My approach to dragons Love them or loathe them, dragons (and their kin) are a fixture in the fantasy genre. From ancient myths to Tolkien to modern authors, dragons are a recurring theme and something I think many people are fascinated with. I’m guilty of that fascination myself, and I’ve written my […]
The Mage War Chronicles: A Status Update I’ve been working through The Mage War Chronicles again, but this is the first time I’ve looked at more than one book in succession. I think I mentioned earlier in the year (January maybe?) that I was planning to work through this in-process series while I have the […]
Sometimes, starting over is necessary We’ve all had to start a project over from scratch at some point in our lives, and most of the time, that realization is hard. Particularly when it’s something as time-intensive as writing a novel. Yep, I’m currently rewriting a book from scratch. Back story: One of my goals this […]

I’m lumping Hunted and The Mage War Chronicles together because Hunted is a standalone, and The Mage War Chronicles is still in-progress (I have the first 2 books written, but […]
2021: A Recap It’s been a busy year for me, and not only in the writing arena. But for me, busy is good. I’ve done more in the past twelve months than I’d realized prior to writing this post. I feel almost crazy thinking about it – but I’m also very pleased with all I’ve […]
My #FantasyIndiesSpooktober Responses For those who follow me on Twitter, you probably noticed I was participating in a fun Q&A during the month of October. I also posted my daily responses to my Facebook reader group. For those who don’t follow me on social media, I compiled all of the responses here for your reading […]
