Release dates, preview chapters, signings, etc.
I just realized that I haven’t posted on here in a month. *Cue some platitude/witticism about time getting away from us* I’m still here. Still writing. Still publishing stuff in the Eluthiya dark fantasy universe. Did I mention that? My dark fantasy universe consisting (at the moment) of A Battleaxe and a Metal Arm, Tales […]
The 15th episode of A Battleaxe and a Metal Arm releases this Friday, and to celebrate, I’m doing the biggest giveaway yet. See, releasing Battleaxe as a serial was a gamble. I know there are some of you that like reading books, and the monthly episodes aren’t long enough for you to really get into. […]
I never used to think that far ahead. Thinking about the next year was hard enough, let alone 3, 5, or 10 years ahead. A few months was all I could manage. For most of us, finishing a novel takes that long. Some people may claim they can write a book in a single month […]
Change is the one constant thing in this world. No matter what trend pops up, or what publishing platforms come and go, what genre is popular, you can bet your ass that eventually it will change. There is an ebb and flow to all things in life, and I’m realizing there might be with this […]
So my wife got me thinking (as she often does): Why don’t I teach writing? My replies were: I would rather write than teach writing. I’m not a successful writer by my standards (i.e. I am not making a full-time living from my writing and as of this post I am only making beer money). […]
Blog posts are like books. The initial idea usually requires a great deal of effort to condense and refine down—in this case, a little under 1,000 words. Initial Idea that spawned this post: I am pulling my books out of Kindle Unlimited and publishing them “wide”. Smidge of background for non-publishing savvy: Amazon has a […]
Sometimes things have… strange beginnings. In my younger years, I played around with a lot of story ideas. Some got half-written. Others never made it out of brainstorming. A lot got relegated to the drawer. But some of those tucked away stories never quite go away. Something about them keeps calling to us. Like an […]
There are haunted houses and then there are… well, then there’s everything else. Some of you might not be familiar with the word, eldritch. The Google definition is “weird and sinister or ghostly”. But those of you who are familiar with the word know that the definition is just the surface. TVTropes goes a bit […]
Sometimes you just want something short. Fantasy books are getting longer. I enjoy Epic fantasy, but sometimes I want something a little grittier, a little shorter, and something where the fate of the kingdom or the world isn’t at stake. It’s a lot like when I’m trying to find a recipe and have to scroll […]
I’ve been writing as long as I can remember. All throughout my school years I used to daydream during swim practice, write stories in my notebooks and in my TI-83 calculator. In middle school I had 30,000 words of a superhero novel written on our family computer–at least until it crashed and I had to […]
