A massive amount of time and energy goes into any creative endeavor. For novels, it’s typically eight or nine months to a year, for me. Art is hard, and it doesn’t help that most artists are perfectionists who have very little patience with their own growing process. But now and then, you produce… Continue reading When Is Constructive Criticism Not Constructive Criticism?

What’s going on around here?
Okay, so I’ve been pretty quiet since I announced the release date for This Time. For those who didn’t actually mark their calendars when I told them to, episode one was supposedly going o release June 17th. Obviously, that didn’t happen. Why? It turns out, I need to learn a few very basic things about… Continue reading What’s going on around here?

The Secret Project—REVEALED!
Today, I’ll be answering the big question. I’ve mentioned several times on this blog and elsewhere that I’m working on a top secret project. Today is the reveal. I’m about to try something new.

What’s Next?

It’s kind of a terrible phenomenon, if you stop and think about it, but that’s how humans are, always… Continue reading What’s Next?
Nighstare Launch Wrap-Up
Well, this has been quite a week. I feel oddly productive right now. We’re four whole books in now. We are two-thirds of the way through the Dronefall series. The plot is thickening, and so are the books. Each one has been a little longer than the last, as the sub-plots explode and expand. We’re… Continue reading Nighstare Launch Wrap-Up

Not Really the Post I Had Planned, But Hey
Yesterday, I set about making a few little changes to the cover for Nightstare—for the second time. I’d wrestled with it before. I thought I should brighten up a few things, make a word-change on the BCC, and shrink the logline down a bit, along with another little change on a spine element. I got… Continue reading Not Really the Post I Had Planned, But Hey
