So my birthday is coming up a little later this week, and my family has been asking what’s on my wish list. In order to help them out, as well as anyone who might feel inclined to give me stuff, I thought I’d post it here on my blog. Some of the stuff might be… Continue reading Birthday wish list

Soundtrack for an untitled book
I’ve got this great idea for a novel, with a rough plot outline, an awesome ending, setting and characters all worked out, even the soundtrack–but no title. I enjoy making soundtracks for my novels, but this is the first time I’ve made one before writing the first draft. Usually, my first drafts are so all over the… Continue reading Soundtrack for an untitled book
Genesis Earth is now live!
That’s right! Genesis Earth, my first epublished novel, is now available on Amazon for $2.99. Check it out, post a review, tell your friends! I decided to price it at $2.99 for a few reasons: First, that’s the lowest price at which Amazon allows a 70% royalty rate. When you buy the book, I get… Continue reading Genesis Earth is now live!
Killing the sacred cows while doing data entry
Sorry for the lack of blog posts; I’ve been working 40 hours a week at this temp job, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for other things outside of writing. I’m still plugging along at about 1k to 2k words per day, but a lot of other stuff is falling behind. Fortunately, the job… Continue reading Killing the sacred cows while doing data entry
Change of plans
So I was going to start Edenfall this week…but then, I realized I wanted to spend some more time in the universe of Worlds Away from Home, so I decided to work on Into the Nebulous Deep instead. ITND is a direct sequel to Mercenary Savior. Basically, it grew out of the realization that James’s… Continue reading Change of plans
Looking for alpha readers and planning the next project
Worlds Away from Home 2.1 is going along well. I had a hard time switching from Bringing Stella Home back to this other project, but I’ve got some good momentum going and assuming no major interruptions, should be able to do about 3k words a day for the rest of the week. Then again, if… Continue reading Looking for alpha readers and planning the next project
The Obligatory Christmas Post
Just a quick post, because I figure I shouldn’t let Christmas go by this year without at least mentioning it in some way. I’m not much of a Christmas person, and I think I get that from my Mom. I still remember the year when she suggested we stop doing presents altogether. That didn’t pass,… Continue reading The Obligatory Christmas Post
I don’t ask for much…
My future wife can do WHATEVER she wants–drag me up to Alaska or Antarctica to get married, make us move in next door to her parents, force me to hold down a real job until the writing takes off… …I just ask that they play this song at our wedding.
Change in direction
Just a quick update on things before I go to bed. After giving it some thought, I’ve decided to put Into the Nebulous Deep on hold for the time being. The main reason for this is that it’s a direct sequel to Mercenary Savior, and if the first one doesn’t sell…yeah, not the best business… Continue reading Change in direction
DAFT PUUUNK!!
So a few days ago I discovered this French techno group called Daft Punk. They are freaking amazing! I’ve been listening to them nonstop ever since–and when I say non-stop, I mean it quite literally. Their music is so awesome, it blows my mind! Take the stuff they’re doing for the new Tron movie, for… Continue reading DAFT PUUUNK!!
