Wraith and the Revolution Cover Reveal Yesterday marked a day I’ve been waiting on for about ten months. I finally shared the cover artwork for my upcoming science fiction novel, Wraith and the Revolution! But in case you missed all the social media posts, here it is: About Wraith and the Revolution Synopsis: Kye Verex […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Languages and Communication I wouldn’t say I have anything that unique in my stories by way of languages or communication methods, but I do have a couple things worth highlighting. Disclaimer: I’m not a linguist by any means, and while I know a tiny bit of Spanish, it’s not really enough to […]
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 […]
Legend is available and The Caein Legacy is complete! Now what? First, happy Thanksgiving to those in the US, and happy Thursday to the rest of my amazing readers. In case you missed it, the fourth and final book in The Caein Legacy released on Tuesday. Thank you all for making this series a success—I […]
The “Monsters” in my Stories I’ve said this before, but I’ve never taken the time to write a dedicated post about it. The real monsters in my stories are the creepy, grotesque creatures that often come to mind when someone thinks of a monster. No, in my worlds, the monsters are all too often human. […]

I have several species featured that don’t have the typical human-style omnivore diet, and their food preferences also come up in my stories. […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Technology This is a post I’ve been excited to write, but also one that I wasn’t sure how to begin. So let’s start with what I mean by “technology.” The standard definitions of the word are as follows: Looking at all of the above, technology can encompass anything from a hatchet to […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Deities and Religions By this point in my writing life, I’ve concocted a decent array of gods and goddesses for some of my worlds, while others are conspicuously devoid of any deity at all. I have just as much fun developing worlds that have a bit of religion as I do those […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Non-Human Peoples I have a pretty descent array of non-humans featured in my books, though not nearly as many as some authors. I tend to create my non-humans (mostly) from my imagination; I rarely use the typical fantasy races like elves or dwarves (and in the instances I have, those books aren’t […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Creatures Now that I’ve covered all of what I consider the “basic” elements of worldbuilding—the building blocks like maps, characters, and organization—I can finally move on to some of the more interesting topics. But this series had to start somewhere, right? Creatures vs. Characters First off, I’d like to discuss what I […]
