Details Matter (The Writing Lab)
Details are a storytelling spice. If done correctly, they add to the complex flavors of your already scrumptious story. If done incorrectly, well… I’m sure we’ve all accidentally added a bit too much sea-salt to the guacamole at one time or another and can remember how that bastardized concocti– Ah, crap! Getting a parking ticket as we…

Here’s a nifty little video starring Littlefinger from Game of Thrones for your viewing pleasure. The CGI is top notch, the story is…uhm…*shrug* I don’t really know what to make of the story actually. It could be the kickoff of a really interesting story world, but this particular vignette seemed “dramatically forced”. Still entertaining from…
Read MoreTime For Another Free Book!
Howdy kiddos and grownos (<– I’m making that into a word, so deal with it) last week I was giving away free copies of Standing Kill Orderlies. If you missed the boat, no worries, I’m back again this week with another free offer. Click the pic to be magically transported to Amazon where you can…
Read MoreStanding Kill Orderlies Free!
Psst. Hey you, do you like free stuff? Of course you do, you’re a frugally minded individual, why wouldn’t you love free? Okay, fair point, sometimes free equals shoddy workmanship. Also, just to play devil’s advocate, sometimes free = bed-bugs. You wouldn’t take a free mattress off the side of the road would you? Wait,…
Read MoreLittle Girl Ass Kicking Incoming!!!
Listen, I got a confession to make. Better come in close for this one. As some of you may know, I am a thirty-something middle-class white male. So I’m in like the 90th percentile when it comes to entitlement and privilege. I point this out because my demographic sort of shields me from a lot…

I hate giving bad reviews. There’s probably some troll out there who gets off on savaging other people’s work, but I’m not one of them. Atleast, I try not to be. Sometimes I fail. And even if I don’t fail, it’s easy to come out the backside of a bad review feeling like a Grade-A…

Oof, it’s been a couple weeks since I did a book review. Let’s see if I can remember how to these things are supposed to go. *fiddles with the magic box inside of which I keep all my reviewing super-powers* Uh… hrm… Who put a dead cricket inside my magic reviewing super-powers box? Oh, wait.…
Read MoreToo Weird To Live, Too Unique To Kill.
As some of you may have noticed it’s been a few weeks since my last blog post. Perhaps you even went so far as to posit a hypothesis as to where I disappeared to. Alien abduction? I wish. Soul-searching hike through the Tibetan mountains alongside bald headed monks who seem particularly fond of the color orange and…
Read MoreBooks of the Week (Plus A Chance To Win A Copy Of Time Heist)
The best things in life are free. Right? Well, that’s what they say atleast. We need some empirical proof before we can say definitively one way or the other. Otherwise we’re like anti-vaxxers going around all willie-nillie spitting in the noble eye of science. There’s only one eye I spit in… death. And fear. And…
Read MoreBooks of the Week 3/2-3/8
I apologize, the last few posts have been shamelessly plugging my own book, but I promise, that’s behind us….for now. Let’s get back to the basics and review a couple books I read last week. But wait, hold up, before we do, I’ve got a little proposition for you. So, uh… why don’t you shuffle…
