6 Dystopian Series You Should Read To The End

So I have a major issue with Dystopian stories. I figure if you are going to destroy the majority of the human race you had better have a great and scientifically sound reason it happened. I assume that anyone venturing to develop a dystopian story would have a concrete history of why their setting/plot is […]

just trying to see if this thing is working….

Hello, can you hear me? Here is a quote from my book BLOOD OF THE GODS         As I come up to a sharp curve, which I maneuver in a familiar manner, an electrifyingly brilliant bolt of lightning strikes the road not a hundred feet in front of me.  I slam on […]

TIME…..

Oh the difference time can make. I am always surprised by how true this is, especially in writing. I have so many times written something I considered perfect and let it sit for a few months. When I come back I can feel that excitement in my belly, I’m thrilled to read the thing I […]

I think a few things that make Epic Fantasy really work for me are: the coming of age story with the cool mentor guy, and the hard-sodded life of a backward bumpkin molded into brilliance by using magical powers that […]

If any of you are reading ELIZABETH TUDOR and don’t want to have a notion of certain developments later in the story ruined, cease construing pronto!! This process of writing is very exposing and brutal and I have no idea why I keep doing it. So, because of who I am and what I stand […]

This of course broke my heart. I am nothing […]

A Few Thoughts About Self Publishing

Now that my book has been published, I have a few thoughts that I wanted to share with you, my beloved readers. I went with a printer called Bookbaby, and things didn’t quite go as planned. There is a lot more to publishing than just printing out a book. It turns out that distribution is […]
