Odds & Ends – April 9th, 2019

Posted on April 9, 2019 by Michell

It occurred to me (finally) that I don’t necessarily have to have a specific article topic to post something. Sometimes it’s nice to simply give a random update on the various things going on in my life. Therein lie my odds and ends. That being the case, here goes. My second newsletter just went out April 1st. Spoiler alert – I give some information that I don’t share in any other way – at least, I share it early. I also might have a newsletter-subscriber-only perk in the works (just saying). If you would like to be included in that amazing group of subscribers (not saying you’re not amazing – just not an amazing subscriber unless, of course, you are), […]

Write What You Know?

Posted on April 3, 2019 by Michell

I mean, if I read Science Fiction and Fantasy, then I clearly know those genres and should write in them, shouldn’t I? So, the first novel I ever finished was a Fantasy novel.

The fourth installment in the Mik Murdoch, Boy Superhero series is in final edits and I couldn’t be happier. Mik Murdoch – Non-spoily Spoilers Book four marks a bit of a crossroads for our hero. He has hit that point in his personal growth that he is comfortable in he role as town protector.

Throw an old friend (and a new one) into the mix and complications become the rule of the day. While […]

Site Change

Posted on February 12, 2019 by Michell

I wanted to let you all know about a change I had to make to the website. I have, to date, received just shy of 200,000 spam messages on the site. This is because I have never required people to sign-up to comment. It has become too much to keep all the spam out so I have made the change to require a sign-up for comments. I hope you can understand why this is necessary.
