I just wanted to give a quick update on my current WIP, Son of the Mourning (you can track my progress here), the sequel to the Dawn of the Lightbearer. On Friday, after some tough going in my day job, and some torture days of not writing, I finally passed the 100k mark! If you’veContinue reading “Son of the Mourning- 100k!”

Phew, that was an intense month in an already fierce year. September in the education space is always challenging, but with the added complexity of COVID and trying to return to “normal,” this year was a real bear. It’s still not over, but at least I can see the light at the end of theContinue reading “Orange juice”

I love offering new content here, but this week has been crazy. As many of you know, I work in Higher Education, and technically, our semester started on Tuesday. We are also going full-back this semester after a year and a half remote. So, just a crazy time. MIT did over 12,000 COVID tests onContinue reading “WIP and other updates”

I am currently writing at least 1,000 words a day, every day (which is about the length of this blog for reference). It is not a huge amount, but there are no days off. Holidays, weekends, hurricanes, miserable hot and humid weather, anniversaries, vacation, whatever it may be. Trust me- I don’t always have theContinue reading “How to push forward?”

I’ve heard that there are two types of writers in the world. Those that map everything out and those that let the story guide them. When I was younger and king of the world, my rule transferred to my writing. I saw myself as a great architect and schemer planning the beginning, middle, and endContinue reading “Of god or (hu)man?”

The Dawn of the Lightbearer is out there and doing its thing. As many of you know, writing the story and publishing it are the easy parts. Now, it is time for the promotion and getting it to readers—a far more difficult nut to crack. It will be slow going for a time as initialContinue reading “The adventure continues!”

My new novel, Dawn of the Lightbearer, is now available here. At just under 500 pages of epic adventure, its a substantial first step into the dark world of Lucardia. Follow young Erikson Gray as he battles demons, ghosts, pirates, and himself! If interested in my journey writing this book, you can find more hereContinue reading “Dawn of the Lightbearer is now available!”

After a very intense five months, the Dawn of the Lightbearer, book one in the Absolution of the Morning Star series, is now ready for the world! The e-version is currently available for pre-order, and it will be officially released on July 2nd- just in time for the Fourth of July weekend (it will be theContinue reading “Dawn of the Lightbearer is finished!”

I know, I know, I’ve not been an attentive blogger recently, and I apologize. But to my credit, it’s been a busy few weeks.  As I’ve mentioned, I decided to try offering Dawn of the Lightbearer for pre-order. Has it been a success? Yes and no. It depends on how you measure success. Has anyone taken theContinue reading “The final (hopefully) read-through!”

We’ll be returning to our regular scheduled programming soon with the continuation of part 3 of my in-laws’ first adventure to the US mini-series (Part 1 and Part 2). I haven’t forgotten the My Life in China Series and still have some stories to tell. As many of you know, I’m in editing overdrive forContinue reading “Final push to the deadline”
