As of last week I found myself with a lot more time to spend writing (see unemployed) but for some odd reason I’m not getting much more done. Perhaps its because I’m pulling all those fringe projects out to work on too. It could also be because I’m doing a few things around the house that have needed doing. Too many possible excuses. I think anyone will agree, the more time you seem to have free the more things you find to fill it. For example, I have my podcasts (2) one of which requires significant writing for, short stories to write, editing of existing stories to do, promos to write and cut, book reviews to write and record and […]

Book Review: Imago Book 3 – A Warrior’s Tale
A Warrior’s Tale tells the story of Nayla Treeborn, a half-elf, half-human warrior and her struggles to live in a world that is intolerant of a half-breed.

They have come to this planet to acquire food, something they didn’t have time for after the debacle on Sin Station. They aren’t on the planet very long before they discover that they may not be alone. I also want to propose the name “The Kinfolk” for you fans out there. What do you think? Leave me a comment, send me a voicemail or whatever to let me know. Finally, there have been a few of you (maybe more that I’m not aware of) spreading the word. Please continue to do so. I […]
Read moreThe Power of “Get Involved”
I’ve been thinking about my involvement in social media, podcasting and general networking, specifically with a focus on how I hope it will help me get my work published. I’ve come to a conclusion and it is this: the people who podcast thinking it will get them published directly are missing the point. Now, if you’ve read any of my posts, you know that I rarely make inflammatory comments. It’s not that I’m afraid of starting controversy, but rather I just don’t care to do so. So why do I make one now (and yes, I know on the flame scale it still rates pretty low)? Let me put it this way; those of us who listen to podcasts know of at least […]
