  Foray Into Fantasy

  The first novel I finished writing was The Prometheus Syndrome, a horror novel you can buy here (it was not my first published novel). My second finished book was another horror novel called The Living Dark that has never seen the light of day. For my third novel, I decided to write a sword-and-sorcery fantasy…

  Yes or No Launch

  It’s 3:09 a.m. on Sunday, the last day of spring break. The last night I can stay up late like this. I dread going back to the school, back to the students who don’t want to learn, and back to a life where I can’t work on books all day. But it is what it…

  Yes or No

  Today is my new book’s birthday! My latest novel, Yes or No, is one I’m kinda proud of. It’s a literary novel about a man in his 50s who is confined to a nursing home and suffering from COPD. Daniel’s led a hard life that’s included prisons and rehabs and loss. One day a woman…

  My post-apocalyptic young adult novel Afterlife is part of a cool new promo at BookFunnel. This is the story of Cody Treat, an Oklahoma teenager who is able to see the millions of ghosts trapped in this plane after an apocalyptic meteor event.

  Second Chance Romance

  One of the cool things about joining BookFunnel is the opportunity to participate in big promotional events with other others in the same genre. With the release of Dust in the Wind earlier this month, I got to sign this contemporary romance up for the Second Chance Romance promo. You should check it out! Remember,…

  February Goals

  January was a month of writing. First Born, begun on November 1, had to be finished, and then Dust in the Wind had to be written (I’d only written the first chapter beforehand). February will be a month of editing. One thing I forgot to mention in my last post was the OWFI contest. A…

  January Report Card

  The first month in the year I hope to go full-time as an author has passed. It was not the launch I was hoping for. Despite my preparation, things just didn’t pop the way I’d hoped. You’ll remember a couple of weeks ago I posted a list of things I wanted to accomplish in January.…

  1st Progress Report

  In my quest to become self-employed by June 2023, I have made a few small steps forward. There’s nothing major to report yet, as there is a lot of prep work, but I have accomplished a little, so I thought I’d share it. I have created a spreadsheet listing all of my published titles under…

  Call to the Hunt

  I find it weird but nice that the audiobook of Call to the Hunt continues to be my bestselling title, even over the books that come from major publishers. Granted, Dear Bully and After Obsession have both been out for several years, but we’ll overlook that. haha A couple of months ago, for reasons unknown to me, sales…

  Back in the Saddle … for real this time

  My blog has been so neglected the past two or three years. I think I’ve made one post each the last two years, both claiming that I was over a hump and ready to get back to writing. And then I didn’t. Couldn’t. But this time I think I’m really back. In the past month…
