Recap: Fort Collins Comic Con 2026 While the con is over, the memories remain. I love comic cons. I’ve gone to a few as an attendee, but the last number of years, it has been as a vendor. While being a vendor is a lot of work, it has its perks. I get to see […]
Celebrating Human Artists My social media feeds have been packed with anti-AI posts for months now, but I recently realized something. With all the discourse going on about how bad AI is for the environment, how it’s taking jobs, and hurting human creators, there have been very few posts in my feed actually celebrating those […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Holidays and Festivals Since we’re headed into the real world’s holiday season, I figured now was a good time to share some of the fictional holidays and festivals you might encounter in my book worlds.

You’ve been introduced to the main characters, the gods, the Councils of Magic, the non-human species… But I haven’t talked about the side characters. Every […]
The 7th – and Final – Character Bio from The Relics of War It has been a while since I last shared a character profile from The Relics of War, but I’ve been waiting for a reason. The first two books in the series have 6 distinct character perspectives. For those who have read the […]

An Overdue Check-in Life has been busy. Work life. Writing life. Personal life. Well, maybe not so much on the third one, as the first two have taken up most of my time. I realize it’s been a while since my last “check-in” post. With all of the book-related content I have planned, I think […]
