Yes, I am still here. I don’t have to tell anyone about 2020. I was supposed to attend a few conventions, but that went out the window. I’ve never seen so many people excited to get stuck with a needle. I guess hanging out with yourself for too long will do that to you. I […]

Spring has finally arrived. I’ll admit, we didn’t have a cold winter here in Charlotte, but it’s still good to see the flowers starting to bloom. I planted these hellebores about three years ago and they finally grew enough to bloom this year. The name hellebores sound like a mythological creature, which is one of […]

My new book launched on January 29th, unfortunately with little fanfare.  I was in the frozen north on a business trip and had my hands full with the polar vortex, flight delays, and rental car flat tires.  Yes, yes I should have had posts set up ahead of time.  I have no excuses but the […]

Everybody makes resolutions this time of year.  Many people resolve to get in shape.  They join a gym or start a diet, stick with it for a month, and then lose their enthusiasm.  This year, I quit the gym and resolved to read more books.  I figured my shape hasn’t really changed that much in years (I’m positive […]

My new novel is now up for Pre-Order on Amazon and here’s the cover.  The release date is January 29, 2019.  This gives me some time to solicit reviews before launch.  Here’s a blurb to wet your whistle: War is coming to the Norwood, and a strange warrior arrives with a black sword to lead the Nor […]

I went to the World Fantasy Convention in Baltimore at the beginning of the month.  Overall, I’d have to say that I was underwhelmed. This convention is only for fantasy literature.  There were no people in costume, games, or movie stars.  I don’t typically get into that stuff, so I thought this would work well […]

I always do NaNoWriMo, but I rarely win.  Actually, I’ve won once (2011) – the first year I tried it.  November is just a bad month (for me) to do this, and I’m just not that fast a writer.  So I’m at 3000 words on day 11.  Not too impressive. November always seems to fill […]

November is upon us.  All you writers out there who plan to participate in National Novel Writing Month should be revving your engines.  This year I plan to start a new novel — The next book in my Black Sword Saga series.  Never heard of the Black Sword Saga you say?  Well, let me tell you […]

I have decided to move away from KDP Select and make my books available on all e-book platforms (They’ll still be on Amazon, just not exclusively).  So I’m having one last Amazon Kindle e-book promotion before making the change: From Oct 29th to Nov 2, The Order of the Wolf will be available for free, […]

Hello all my favorite internet people (Yeah, I’m looking at you.  Don’t look so shocked.). Head on over to Amazon and get The Order of the Wolf free from today until August 6th. You can also get Stenson Blues, book 2 in my Kingdom of Haven series for .99 cents until August 9th. And don’t […]
