Hey all. I got the Kirkus review for The Work of Restless Nights, and believe it or not there was nary a negative comment to be found! This one had me nervous, I’ll admit. The whole setup for self-published authors, any author really, is primed for inducing anxiety. You pay Kirkus a not so insubstantial …
Short one this time, and it hopefully won’t be the only one this month. Just here for a quick update. As the title, and my previous post, already gave away, my book is stocked at a local bookstore, that being the Tattered Cover on Colfax in Denver. It’s an incredible feeling to see it on …
A nine month streak fades, and, with any luck, a longer one begins. My apologies on missing the July post. It’s been hectic, to say the least. What with publishing my novel and preparing for a trip to New Zealand and Australia for the Women’s World Cup, things have been a bit busy. As to …
Hello there. Big news, though I think my title might have given it away. No matter, I’ll say it again, my book is finally published! Paperback and ebook. Truth be told, it has been available through Amazon for about a week now. But for all those who have an entirely understandable dislike of the corporate …
I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I hadn’t read the seminal sci-fi novel Dune until recently. I’ve been told Dune is to sci-fi what Lord of the Rings is to fantasy.

Imagine a typical Star Wars movie or TV show. It probably has both a Jedi and a Sith in it, one or both members of the Skywalker family. Or perhaps these days it contains a reserved yet eminently capable bounty hunter with a heart of gold and a young, green Yoda-like creature in their care. …
I was told by a friend who’s already passed the somehow both meaningful and yet meaningless benchmark that is 30 years since entering this world naked and screaming that both my muscle strength and bone density would halve at midnight. I don’t believe that happened, but then again perhaps one’s mental faculties also drop in …
In my last post I mentioned moving across the country for graduate school. Well, cut to over two years later and I have both graduated with a Masters in Applied Mathematics and slunk back to the corporate overlords in order to pay off the school loans I had to take. I joke but in actuality …
Welcome to the first blog post on the shiny new M. Weald website! Cue the imaginary sounding of a trumpet, the warbling of a synth, the plucking of a guitar, the beating of drums, the slapping of a bass or the sounds of a madman plinking away at whatever instrument you think best goes with …
