Scavengers is out! And Camp Nanowrimo win!

May 2, 2015Leave a comment

Finally, it's done! I managed to publish the Kindle edition on the actual date I had planned for the release (April 30), and it should be available over at Smashwords (and then at Barnes & Noble, iBooks, etc.) shortly! If anyone is interested in a free digital copy of Scavengers to review, please contact me via email … Continue reading Scavengers is out! And Camp Nanowrimo win!

a week of writing and revising

April 27, 2015Leave a comment

As April winds to an end, I find myself in the midst of two things: finishing up my story for Camp Nanowrimo, and preparing Scavengers for release later this week! Currently I'm at around 18,500 words in "The Madman," which will be a second Wolf Point prequel novella.  I only need to write about 500 … Continue reading a week of writing and revising

hi-ho it’s off to camp i go

April 1, 2015Leave a comment

This year Camp Nanowrimo is already making me do great things.  I finished the rough draft of Scavengers (YAY! You can even see that it's moved from my Works in Progress to Novels!) because I needed it to be finished before I started camp. I had a whole 2 days to spare, and I decided to use them … Continue reading hi-ho it’s off to camp i go

writing weather?

February 16, 2015Leave a comment

You'd think, after having four giant snowstorms in as many weeks and getting a number of days off from work for that very reason, with nothing to do other than sit in my apartment alone, that I would have done MUCH more writing than I have. Nope. Yesterday cabin fever set in and I had … Continue reading writing weather?

Scavengers, Chapter 1

February 2, 2015Leave a comment

Despite taking a week off to work on Scavengers, I still have to push the pub date back (again).  So, as a thank you for waiting patiently, I give you the first chapter! -1- I was already having a pretty bad couple of days before I got kidnapped. Not that my life was really all … Continue reading Scavengers, Chapter 1

inspirations: wolf point

January 26, 2015January 26, 2015Leave a comment

I talk a little about my inspiration for the first book in the Wolf Point series over on the Hitchhikers page, but as I continue the series I feel the need to talk about an inspiration that has actually helped me to build the world of the Wolf Point series. One day, I was looking … Continue reading inspirations: wolf point

Scavengers cover reveal!

January 21, 2015January 21, 2015Leave a comment

Scavengers finally has a cover! This took me a long time... mostly due to issues getting permission to use images.  For both Hitchhikers and Dreamwalkers, I was able to find images over at sxc.hu and Flickr, and the photographers got back to me fairly quickly.  Both of the images I used for this cover were … Continue reading Scavengers cover reveal!

forgot to mention…

October 15, 20141 Comment

The Beast - a Wolf Point prequel novella - is out! You can find it at Amazon for 99 cents, and free at Barnes & Noble.  Over at Smashwords you can download it in any file type for free. The Beast is the origin story of Geo, the oldest known werewolf.  This is the first of … Continue reading forgot to mention…

new year’s resolution and 2013 stats

January 5, 20142 Comments

This year's resolution is to write 500 words a day - that's 1/3 of what I normally churn out a day during Nanowrimo, which makes it much more attainable.  I have several other writing-related goals for 2014: to finish and publish Dreamwalkers to finalize the print edition of Hitchhikers and offer a giveaway or two … Continue reading new year’s resolution and 2013 stats

what i’ve been up to

September 7, 2013September 6, 2013Leave a comment

Since the end of Camp Nanowrimo - or, let's face it, midway through Camp Nanowrimo - I haven't been doing a whole lot of writing.  I did get a good 28,000+ words written on Scavengers, but I got sidetracked when I realized that my map for Scavengers was way off from my map for Hitchhikers. … Continue reading what i’ve been up to
