Battling the Hydra: Upcoming 2026 Book Release Schedule
As I mentioned in the last update, I’ve been hacking away at several projects simultaneously. However, at a certain point, I realized this approach was much like trying to sever the heads of a hydra with a butterknife. The better plan of attack would be swiftly and decisively lopping one head off and moving without…

So, a Sorcerer and a Werewolf Walk into a Bar…
That’s a really corny title for an update, sorry about that. But it’s already June of 2026, and it’s high time to shoot another project progress report into the void. Here we go! WULFWOODE For over two years, a story has been pacing at the edge of my mind like a wolf in the treeline—patient,…

Winter’s Threshold: Craft, Discipline, and the Work to Come
Things have been exceedingly busy this month, including the myriad demands of Christmas that don’t let up until well after the eggnog has run dry and the wastebins are bulging with wrapping paper. On top of the holiday chaos, I’m now three months into a new role in my full‑time career as a materials scientist.…

November 2025 Updates
Today is a rather blustery day in the Hundred Acre Wood, Pooh Bear, as I sit in my study with a cup of coffee and reflect. Outside my window, the fiery brilliance of October has given way to the brittle, coppery remnants of November. As the year is drawing closer to an end, I feel…

Myth & Melody: October 2025 Updates
We’re knee deep in Spooky Season—my absolute favorite time of year. The South plays a dirty trick on us Fall Freaks, however, by offering chilled, autumnal mornings that quickly mutate into stifling, swamp-ass-inducing scorchers by noon. It isn’t really until November that the season settles in nice and proper, but then again, I recall wearing…

The Fickle Muse
Greetings! Just a quicker, snappier, more easily digestible newsletter here. In this post, I reflect on balancing my work writing dark fiction with producing a growing catalogue of music. There’s some excellent insight here on approaching passion projects for fellow indie creators. The Verbs That Just Don’t Flow For the past couple of weeks, I’ve…

Reading List 2024
Happy New Year! Got some updates coming in the next week, and a new chapter release. Until then, here are books I’ve read during the most recent trip around the sun. You know, if this were a Book It! challenge from the early 90’s, I’d have earned a few free pizzas at Pizza Hut by…

Writing Works in Progress (I’m Not Dead)
In case it’s not excruciatingly obvious, I’m an indie author. I have a family and a full-time job, and since my last update here I got swallowed up in the incessant swells and squalls on the high seas of life. But now I’m back on dry land, saddled up on the great word machine, and…

I’m Officially a Self-Published Author!
My first e-book, a short-read sci-fi story called “SCOUT”, has just been published on Amazon! The decision to self-publish was something I arrived at after over a year of contemplating and having several of my short stories rejected by small publishers. I shopped a total of four short stories to around 50 genre magazines, from…

Preparing for Launch as an Author
Creating this website and claiming my domain was an important first step for me. This was an act of affirmation, a declaration to myself and to the world that I am ready to begin life as an author. I’m not new to writing—I’ve written short stories, DIY comic books, and played with ideas for novels…
