News and Updates 26 August 2022
It’s been a few months since I last updated. Yeah, I know it’s been a while. Work picked up with the new job, and then with the way this country and the world has been spiraling into a dumpster, my mental health has not been in the best place. Things are starting to get better […]

Update: It’s Been a While
I haven’t been updating as frequently as I had hoped I would. The last week has been one of illness, first for my wife and now for me, and death. I’ve had two members of my family pass away. As a result, I haven’t done near what I wanted to promote my new sweet Sapphic […]
Trope Talk: Found Family
Happy Pride Month! One of my biggest writing goals is realistic representation of the LGBTQIA+ experience. As such, I want to start Pride Month with a brief discussion of a trope that’s near and dear to all of us: the found family. Sure, anyone who knows speculative fiction and manga/anime is likely familiar with this […]
Romance Update: Drafted!

Mid-May Update
I haven’t blogged much this week, as the end of the semester approaches. It’s always hectic, as final exams mean a lot of grading that must be done quickly. My grades are in, and this semester is in the books. This will also be my last semester teaching, as I am moving into consulting. This […]
Romance Update: Trope Announcement
After a slow two weeks, progress on The Romance Novel Project has resumed. Progress is steady; although, it’s not as fast as I would like it to be. That said, this post serves to announce the primary romance trope that will underscore and direct the action. I’ve struggled with this defining trope’s identification, because the […]

The third novel in The Adventures of Sam Hain releases today on Amazon (wider release coming within two months). It Hungers brings the series into a darker place as our heroine races to find and save missing children as well as her client’s partner, a gorgon sculptor accused to kidnapping the children and turning them […]
Release Day Livestream!
The livestream will be on my official Facebook page at 7 pm. Central US time. We’re planning on being live for between an hour and an hour-and-a-half, but we may go longer if there’s discussion and questions to answer. Remember: All eBooks are free to read on Kindle Unlimited. If you like them, please consider […]
Mindless Gaming: My Key to Removing Creative Blocks
First and foremost: It Hungers is available for pre-sale in paperback form on Amazon.com! So, this is an unofficial update on The Romance Novel Project where I talk about one of the dreaded aspects of any creative endeavor: creator block. Yes, I’ve talked about Writer’s Block before, but now I’m going to talk about one […]
