Author of The Relics of War, The Caein Legacy, & Wraith and the Revolution
Thank you! 2025 has been a roller coaster year. There have been ups and downs, corkscrew turns I couldn’t have anticipated, and some wild twists. But overall, it has been a pretty damned good year for me, despite the current workplace situation. Since many of you subscribing to my blog are based in the US, […]
The State of My Writing (an Update) It’s been a while since I made my last writing update post. I don’t actually know when the last one was, but I’m pretty sure it was before Wraith and the Revolution was published in June. Which means I’m probably overdue. By a lot. *Does a quick scroll […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Research This may come as a surprise to some people, but some research is required when writing fantasy novels. While you can make a lot of things work by saying, “Magic!” there are still other elements that should be based in real world fact. I do quite a bit of research while […]
Influences and Inspiration from Media In the past couple of months, I’ve been asked multiple times about the media that influences or inspires my writing. Most questions were directed at Wraith and the Revolution (since that’s what I’ve been promoting the most), but Wraith has been with me for so long that I have a […]
Am I Branching Out? Not Really. Since the release of Wraith and the Revolution, I’ve been asked several times about the “shift” from fantasy to science-fiction in my writing, and each time, that question has caught me completely by surprise. The fact is, I haven’t “shifted” or “branched out” from fantasy at all. Sci-fi has […]
The Worldbuilder Diaries: Cultures and Society Every character has a distinct culture and/or societal influence that influences their beliefs, actions, and thought processes. While some of my characters come from a background similar to my own, others showcase very different worldviews—and I find those are the most fun to write about. I’ll showcase a few […]
Focus Interrupted The month of June has been a bit tumultuous (I like that word, so I had to use it here.) But I wanted to start off this post by saying thank you to everyone who has supported me, my writing, and especially the release of Wraith and the Revolution. It’s a special book […]
Wraith and the Revolution is officially available! Wraith and the Revolution officially published on Tuesday! As I’ve mentioned previously, it was a book more than 30 years in the making, and I’m so excited to share this story with the world. I hope readers enjoy it as much as I loved writing it. About Wraith […]
Wraith and the Revolution: A to Z If you’ve been following my socials the last few weeks, you’ve probably noticed I’ve been doing something fun for Wraith and the Revolution as we get closer to the book’s release date (June 17, which is on Tuesday. How are we here already?!) For previous books, I did […]
June Events I have a lot going on this month, between a book release, livestream appearances, and…well, life in general. I figure now is a good time to share what I have coming up with my readers, since the fun begins on Tuesday. June 10 at 8pm EDT / 6pm MDT: Author interview on the […]
