Update and planning ahead for Black Friday
Things have been going pretty well with the whole foot/ankle pain issue. Walking long distances still sucks, so a trip to Wegmans or Walmart can wear me out, but it’s at least doable. I’ve been doing physical therapy, which began … Continue reading
No NaNo for me
After the success I had in 2017, last year I ambitiously thought I was going to do NaNoWriMo every year and pump out a new Paranormal Curio novel each time. Unfortunately, last year I got stuck. The Pembroke Engine remains … Continue reading
In search of: McDonaldland cookies copycat recipe
December has been flying by, so please pardon the lack of updates. To catch you up quickly, I did finish NaNoWriMo a winner but The Pembroke Engine is not finished yet. I’ve actually been struggling hard to move the narrative … Continue reading
The night before
The full moon is shining on the snowy ground, pumpkin bread and muffins are in the oven, and I’m nearly ready to go. My annual Macy’s parade live blog commences at 9:00 AM tomorrow! Quick update on all the rest: … Continue reading

Flash fiction: Cotton Eye Joe
Now and then I see interesting posts on the subreddit /r/WritingPrompts. Today I saw one that was too good to pass up: After he ruined your relationship, you finally come face to face with Cotton Eye Joe. I knew I … Continue reading

Since getting The Well of Moments out, I’ve been wondering what to do next in terms of book releases. I basically have three books sitting in the can right now: Gray Area, and the first two volumes of Merchantman Halflight. … Continue reading
On inclusion and tyranny
Recently I was looking at responses to a discussion about books or authors a reader used to like but had soured on since, and one of the responses puzzled me. This particular reader had multiple issues with the Harry Potter … Continue reading
