Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
I drove 21 miles for a used book today. The book cost $3.50. I’m sure the gas it took me to get to Second Chance Books and back cost me more than the book. I could have bought the book for a penny, plus $3.99 shipping, from Amazon. But I wanted it NOW! No, I…
NRU: Mr. Wedel, superhero movies are all the rage today. If you could be a superhero, who would you be? WEDEL: I would be Procrastination Man. NRU: Procrastination Man? Why? What would your power be? WEDEL: I would zip around the globe, destroying things that keep people like me – in my mundane alter ego…
As we slowly approach the Sept. 13 release of After Obsession, the book co-written with the awesome Carrie Jones, I’m seeing an increase in hits to my Web site and am getting a few messages from new readers. This is great. Mostly. I’ve looked forward to this, believing that readers who like After Obsession will…
Over the past couple of months my writing time has been spent in ways totally alien to me before meeting and writing a book with Carrie Jones in 2008. I’ve learned a lot about working with a legitimate agent and a major publishing house, and about writing for young adults. I thought I’d share a…

It kind of feels like I’m back from the dead. A long time passed without any writing on my end. Not just here, but any at all. All things considered, that’s pretty ironic. Over 25 years of trying to “make it” as a writer, and the month I finally get my first really significant paycheck…

I almost can’t believe it’s been nearly a month and a half since I posted anything here. But, not a lot has happened. Despite my best efforts, school work comes home with me and eats up almost all my time. Having four sections of AP English means lots of writing assignments to grade. I haven’t written…

School started last week. In some ways it doesn’t really feel like it yet. I mean, there are those two days that are kind of like practice. This week, kids will be fixing their schedules, transferring from one class to another, and teachers will be waiting and hoping things settle down quickly. Not waiting too…
