A few years back, a friend who is also an author, turned me on to a conference that takes place in Colorado in October. It isn’t a writing convention, but a lot of the people there are authors. It isn’t a readers convention, though everyone there are readers. I couldn’t go last year because I
You might have noticed a few changes around here, which can only mean that the new book is finally here! You can find Where Shadows Fall on Amazon. Only the Kindle version is available, but the paperback should follow shortly. As usual, this also means the push to get reviews, as my publisher’s promotion apparatus only
I’m sitting in my home office on a Saturday morning, enjoying the last bit of the Death Wish Coffee before I get my next shipment later in the month, and writing. It is maybe my favorite day of the week, especially when the words are working well. Today is one of those days, when the
I’m the first one in the office, which isn’t unusual. Outside my window, the sun is starting to show itself between the buildings and the cloud cover. I’ve worked from home for the last two days, and my house is not in a good position to watch the sun rise, so this is a nice

By the time you are reading this, I will probably be somewhere on the road between Paris and Milan with my good friend and some good music at the start of our epic Italy road trip. I figured since my normal Wednesday post would be pre-empted by a travel day, I’d pre-write it! I’m such
I recently discovered that Star Trek: The Next Generation is on Netflix. This fills me with a ridiculous amount of glee. I have been watching it every evening this week, starting right from the beginning. Star Trek is a part of my DNA. Some of my earliest tangible memories are around watching the original series
I’m the first one in the office a lot of days. Today is no different. I’m the only one here, at least for a little bit longer. Outside the window, the sun is bright and blinding when the scattered clouds aren’t hiding it. The alarm system on the door was tripped before I got here,
