I've killed off characters in my books. There are several in particular who I mourned as the author, and still others who I really hadn't noticed. It seems to be a popular past-time in fiction to strategically murder personalities that we, the readers or viewers, have fallen in love with. I know everyone hated to … Continue reading Killing the Hero

Official Release – Tapped
I'm starting off the New Year with a bang! Or ... well ... a mistaken "bang" on the 1st because in my NyQuil induced haze I accidentally "leaked" the novel online but we're moving past that now. This is my first self-published novel and I'm equal parts terrified and pleased by it. Tapped is a … Continue reading Official Release – Tapped
Self-Publishing Journal Entry #4 (I think?) — AKA, “DANGIT, HYDRA!”
Dear Diary, I spent New Years Eve sick on my couch. I did not have the joy of watching the infamous "potato drop" in my home town. I could not smell the glorious turkey breast as it was cooking in my crockpot (Thank you to my Grandmother and to my Aunt Debbie for passing along … Continue reading Self-Publishing Journal Entry #4 (I think?) — AKA, “DANGIT, HYDRA!”

Attack of the Secondary Character – Round Robin Discussion
The beast roared again. It knew Relo was there. It had known the moment he’d walked into the cave, its heightened sense of taste and smell had alerted the beast to this trespass. But Relo had anticipated this. In thirty-four years as a Tapped Acolyte he’d hunted every species Nellis had to offer. He knew … Continue reading Attack of the Secondary Character – Round Robin Discussion

Terraforming Mars
Deviation, my newly released science fiction, lands smack dab on Mars. In spite of the massive amounts of research I had a lot of fun on Mars. Actually, scratch that.

Favorite Scenes — Dead Magic Edition
I promised I'd post my favorite scene from the upcoming novel Dead Magic so ... here we go. Once again, I'm not one of those people who likes spoilers ...

I finally said that Trenna was my favorite part of the book, but she shook her head and asked for a specific scene and then proceeded to tell me hers.
