Last week, I mentioned that I’ve finished the second draft of a new novel. This novel is titled The Archives Alliance, and it’s The Breakfast Club meets The Magicians (more the tv show than the book). Now that’s an elevator pitch, y’all. I’ve got notes done for the 3rd draft. Once I have that 3rd …
(So, I knew I was a bit behind on listing the books I’ve read, but I didn’t realize that the last time was more than 4 years ago. Sheesh and begorrah, Batman.) Favorite/particularly memorable books get asterisks; the more asterisks, the more the fave. …2023 …2024 …2025 ________________ As of today, I’m on book nr. …
Recently, because of reasons, I have had occasion to give multiple people my business card (yes, I do actually have business cards! they are very old! but the info on them remains accurate! I think!). That being the case, and in view of the fact that this blog’s address is emblazoned (actually printed demurely) upon …
September 26, 2024 Well, my latest book is in the hands of its first beta reader, so I might as well make an official proclamation: MY LATEST BOOK IS IN THE HANDS OF ITS FIRST BETA READER *bells, whistles, trumpets* … *alarms, sirens, klaxons* This one happens to be my very first nonfiction book.

So, ICYMI, in the midst of Atheism for Lent, COVID, and a secondary viral infection, I somehow managed to publish another book. No, I don’t know how. The past 50ish days are mostly a blur to me. Interspersed with the occasional moment of mostly miserable clarity. So I really have no clue what magic I …
And would you believe, I’ve been too busy with the next one to post about the one I spent almost all the second half of 2022 on? That was an absolutely terrible sentence, and as a writer, I should know better. But I don’t care. I GOT THE BOOK DONE. After a title change. HA …
That’s it. That’s the title. A “scend” is the surge created by a wave, which is doubly fun because this novel is set in a landlocked country. *laughs in maniacal confused* As you might already know, my current project is to take my first two Light-Walker novels, Rethana’s Surrender and Rethana’s Trial, and squoosh them …
For what I want to do, I do not do…. That’s an incomplete and out-of-context quote from a 1st-century Roman Jew named Paulus. But it fits. At the very least, it speaks to an insolvable aspect of the human condition. We so often know what good we need to do but can’t get ourselves to …
