Just shy of a year ago, I announced the publication of my first novel Island of Lost Forevers. Real life has presented some real challenges since then (such as moving across an ocean and a continent), but I’m finally ready to share my novel’s sequel with you. In fact, the book’s release will coincide with my original cover reveal; how’s that for synergy? Without further ado, I’m pleased to introduce: It’s been eight years since Damian struck Sentomoru dead. The island flourishes under Catilen’s rule, but Damian can’t escape the former lord’s shadow. It taints the rivers, trees and flowers. It haunts him keenest in the form of Catilen’s seven-year-old daughter, Morulin. Damian wants desperately to be a part of […]

How Much is Too Much (or not enough)?
I have this problem. The problem is, I don’t know when it’s okay to talk about my work and when it isn’t. This is not a new problem; far from it. In fact, it has ALWAYS been my problem. In my day job, at home, with my volunteer activities and with my writing. To make this an even bigger deal than you might initially think, lack of self-publicizing has often led to frustration.

Read moreMik Murdoch: Crisis of Conscience has been sent to Publisher
Let me say one thing before I get into this: No, this is not an April Fools joke. 🙂 I am delighted to be able to announce that I finished polishing edits last night to send the manuscript for Mik Murdoch: Crisis of Conscience to Five Rivers Publishing last night. This book marks probably the darkest chapter in Mik’s life. At least, the darkest so far. Here is the book’s (very brief) description: It’s winter. Everyone’s slowing down, snuggling down. Everyone but the boy superhero of Cranberry Flats. When alien snow circles show up, Mik Murdoch is ready to investigate. But just as he is about to crack the case, a terrible accident throws everything into chaos. Mik must face […]
