A couple of weeks ago I put out a general call for questions, either in regards to my novels or…well, whatever you wanted to ask, really. =D I got tons of great questions on the blog, via e-mail and through Facebook and Twitter, both about my fiction and how I...

Yes, I’m stealing this idea from Jen Kirchner (who by her own admission stole it from Amber West), but with one vastly important difference. Unlike Jen, I already share far too much about myself online, from my daughter’s epilepsy to my outdoor adventures to my...

Been a bit quiet on the blog here as of late. Sorry about that, but I have a good excuse: I’ve been working my ass off. * City of Scars is almost ready to go! I’ve spent the past two or three weeks (it’s all a blur) doing the final edits and...

They say anticipation is half the fun. Sometimes, it’s all the fun. One of the hardest parts about writing a novel series is knowing when to quit. It’s probably a tad early for me to blogging about this because, well…I haven’t quit, at least not yet, but it’s...

First off…hi. In case you didn’t notice (and chances are you didn’t) I’ve been completely unplugged from social media for about a week. The verdict: it was nice. The Skullborn I kept busy on my so-called “vacation”. You may have noticed the City of Scars word...

It seems like things never slow down around here. City of Scars: I passed the halfway mark on CITY OF SCARS this weekend. Keep in mind this is a re-write of an old novel, so it’s about 75% revision and 25% adding new material, but I’m still pleased with...

Happy Halloween! First off, be sure to go grab a free copy of something black… over at Amazon (the promotion should run all day Halloween). I’d originally hoped to have Blood Angel Rising published by now, but the day job and working on the Blood Skies...

It’s unprecedented. Its insane. Its sheer, unadulterated madness. Its Halloween. Its when the creepy crawlies come out. Its when the vampires show their teeth. Its when zombies prowl the strip looking for laughs and all of the oozy and tentacled things get...

And now, I will commit writer/blogger sin: I will blog about my writing. I know, majorly boring shit, right? Well, hopefully not. Believe it or not, there’s always been a plan regarding the BLOOD SKIES series. Just like the rest of the writing, however, the plan was...

It was one year ago today, April 18th, that I first launched this blog. I had no clue what I was no doing. I had a book that needed to be edited. I had no cover. I had only a handful of Twitter followers. I had, literally, no idea what was going to happen. Fast...
