• Constructive Criticism: What It Is and How to Give It

  When I went to college and majored in creative writing – this was an actual lesson we had to have at the beginning of the semester. Everything about it seemed pretty common sense but in order for all us tender young things to actually learn and progress rather than shrivel up on the vine, we…

• So… What’s Next?

  Am I really back? Yes I’m really back – at least until August when I gotta go back to the grind. What kind of goodies can you expect, now that I’m really really back? Well first up – I’m about as far along with “Tasting Ash” as I was before I went poof. There just…

• Aaaand We’re Back!

  So it’s been forever and there’s a good reason for that, I recently returned to the world of day jobs and self loathing – and it almost killed me. That’s not sarcasm either, I had no less than three incidents of illness where I was afraid for my life in the last ten months or…

• The Quick and Dirty

  So where have I been and where’s that book I promised you – a year ago? Truth of the matter is, my dear dedicated reader, that it’s been a long nasty road that I’m not done traveling yet and I can confirm has been seeded liberally with landmines.  The gist of it? I picked up…

• What the Azathoth is Going On Here?

  Posts have been few and far between for a while now, culminating in a long period of seeming silence. I haven’t updated anyone on what’s going on with the books or posted anything of use on the blog, facebook, twitter or tumblr. A few particularly astute readers have taken the time to track me down…

• “Writers Write” Is That Really Too Much To Ask?

  I’m in the middle of NaNoWriMo and polishing off a novel I’ve been struggling with for about two years now but something was making the rounds of my independent author feeds the other day that rubbed me such a wrong way I stopped what I was doing and took a minute to reply that turned…

• Look Ma! No Hands!

  I’ve been having a few nagging pains in my three of the fingers on each hand. When that pain progressed to my thumb and wrist I started to worry and when I woke up one morning and realized the fingers on my wright hand were swollen like sausages – I realized it was time to…

• Wow, That Was Fast!

  And we’re back. A lot faster than I had originally expected too. Kind of makes my head spin all the stuff that’s gone down in the last few days to make this possible. I did so much more running around town than I’m used to, got so much more exercise and sunlight! And absolutely no…

• A Tale of Two Shadow Orgs

  I’m busily cranking out words for “Tasting Ash” but there have been a few moments during the writing of the new book that have left me feeling a bit adrift because this novel is going to be a very different animal from everything that’s come before. Up till now Ash has been, a protected Company…
