2026 has brought some new experiences

2026 has brought some new experiences so far I knew going into 2026 that I was stepping into new territory with my writing projects. And it wasn’t just the work situation—and my decision a few months later to seriously start making writing a full-time gig. There were other things coming this year that were completely […]

Celebrating Human Artists

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 […]

Enter the “Wraith-verse”

Enter the “Wraith-verse” I was recently talking books with one of my author friends, and she coined a term that I hadn’t considered myself until then. She knows that I have several short stories publishing this year all related to my novel, Wraith and the Revolution, and since that book is a standalone, there’s no […]

Survivor (A Wraith and the Revolution prequel story)

Survivor (A Wraith and the Revolution prequel story) In the summer of 2024, while I was still on medical leave after my surgery, I had a lot of time to write.

An update and things coming in April

An update and things coming in April Things have been, for the most part, pretty good for me since the first of the year. I believe my last writing update post was around the end of December, so I feel like it’s time for another one. I have a number of projects in the works […]

Experimenting as I write

Experimenting as I write With every book/series project I’ve worked on, I’ve done something different. I mix things up partly because I like the challenge, and partly because it prevents me from getting bored. And trust me, no one wants that. The Relics of War With the Relics of War series, I wrote multiple viewpoints […]

Survivor: A new short story and a cover reveal!

Survivor: A new short story and a cover reveal! I’ve been slowly releasing a new short story to my monthly newsletter, and January 31 will bring chapter 3 to readers. The story is called “Survivor,” and it features Kye Verex from Wraith and the Revolution…only a few years younger than he is in the novel. […]

2025 in Review

2025 in Review I think 2025 has been a strange year all around. It has definitely been weird for me, and even after a few months to process some of the specific weirdness, that’s still the only word that seems adequate to describe it. 2025 has been weird. But there has been a lot of […]
