If I’d been asked to pick my favorite author during high school, it probably would have been Stephen King. I read my fair share of his horror classics during this time: The Stand, The Shining, It, The Long Walk, Cell, Under the Dome, etc. I grew up amongst the corn fields of southern Indiana and …

As of this writing, I’ve watched a season and a half of Invincible, a show that, for me, has been one of the few antidotes to superhero fatigue post Marvel’s Avengers putting an end to Thanos (though the fatigue set in a bit before that if I’m being honest). Along with The Boys, it’s given …

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 …

First off, I’m a big fan of Brandon Sanderson. When I was young, so pretty much from grade school through early high school, I read incessantly.

At this point, I can say I see the reason behind WoT’s reputation in the fantasy community. Nonetheless, I think …

Adaptations are on my mind. No real surprise there. We certainly have a profundity of them these days. Not that I’m complaining. I adore getting the chance to see that which was relegated to my mind’s eye given new form. In the recent past I’ve watched the new One Piece live action, the Cowboy Bebop …

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 …

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 …
