I’m almost certainly going to shed some tears while writing this, but I also know I’ll feel better after, so here goes. My son Dylan is nearly 20 and just started his second year at the university. Daniel will be 18 soon, and is in his first year of college. They’re leaving home this weekend, …

We did it. Daniel, my younger son, and I made it home Sunday night. We logged 5000 miles in 14 days and passed through a 13 states. I don’t think I’ve ever driven so much in my life. I’m pretty sure my back is now permanently the shape of the seats in my Toyota Highlander. …

I’ve been hearing that a lot recently. People email me and say, “In the front of your book is says the next book in the Chaos and Retribution series is coming out in the spring, but I don’t see it. What’s up? You’re not pulling a George Martin on us, are you?” It’s time to …

So December marks one full year since I decided to go all-in on becoming a true indie writer. What does this mean? It means prior to December of last year, I was still trying to go about writing in the old traditional way, meaning I wrote about a book a year and I submitted queries …

Drum roll please… Ladies and gentlemen, may I present a sneak peek at the next installment of the Lone Wolf Howls series. It begins, predictably enough, with Ace getting himself into trouble yet again. (Trouble does seem to follow him, doesn’t it?) The story picks up a few days after The Black Pearl Treasure leaves …

“The is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but with a…” – TS Eliot It was a Tuesday morning when the first brimstone fell. Crashing onto vehicles, and landing on the streets, it made traffic quite a hassle. Many drivers simply crashed headfirst into the cataclysmic debris or confusedly stopped and honked …

So I spent almost 30 years doing the “traditional” writer thing: turn out a book every few years. Spend a crapload of time writing and re-writing my query letter. Submit said letter and sample chapters to various agents and editors. Wait months for a form rejection letter (or to be completely ignored). Rinse and repeat. …

Chaos and Retribution, that is. Yep, book 2 of my new fantasy series, Sky Touched, just came out a couple of days ago. It continues the stories of Fen, Aislin and Karliss, three young people with the powers of Stone, Sea and Sky. They’ve done some growing up since the last book. Fen’s still trying …

Right now I’m reading The Goldfinch. It came highly recommended to me by a friend who has generally steered me toward quality books. (Which means he makes me read something besides brain candy sometimes.) It won a Pulitzer Prize. It’s sold a boatload of copies. So I finally grudgingly agreed. I have to admit that I’ve struggled …

That’s right. Stone Bound, book 1 of my new fantasy series, Chaos and Retribution, just released today. Want more good news? It’s only 99 cents for a limited time. So there’s really no reason not to go pick up a copy, is there? And, in case you’re thinking, ‘Yeah, but how many years will it …
