How is it May already? Deep into finding ways to promote HOST, and finishing a first draft of my next book, I’ve been picking away at my reading list (although I am behind by six books already). I read these back in Jan / Feb, a little all over the Read more…
Now that I’m full steam ahead with book two (as of this writing about 30% done), I’m revisiting some basics of writing to; 1) inspire the writing process and 2) keep learning. Recently got into chapter structure and how this can shape a novel. I found there are a few Read more…
I’ve been playing video games for a long time. From Frogger on Atari, to Mario on NES, to TMNT in the arcade, to Last of Us on Playstation. It’s been a long gaming career with no pay or a 401k. Aside from games getting bigger in scope, where you’re simply Read more…
I was terrible in writing, literature, and English courses as a kid. My high school freshman year English teacher sucked the life out of writing. Until I took a creative writing class senior, my interest in writing was drained. Creative writing had no rules. It was focused on the world Read more…

2024. Can’t wait to get to know you, maybe. Wild to think that, my debut novel, HOST has been out for six months now. As I still toy with and figure out the best ways to promote it, I’m working on a second book, which I plan to have out Read more…
Writing isn’t easy. Like anything, it takes work, commitment, and time to be good at. Along that path myths get created about the process and successes that come with writing. Who creates these myths? Who knows. Some can be attributed to a specific comment by someone at some point in Read more…
2023 is in the past, gone forever. I wouldn’t rate it as one of my favorite years, but I also released my first novel in 2023 so it’ll always be remembered. What a weird year. Anyways, I finished out the last few months with a mix of fantasy and crime Read more…
